2000? That was only like five years ago, right? Wrong!
As someone who grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s, I realize that a lot has changed. Some of the things I said back then wouldn't even make sense now.
Get ready to travel back in time to slang, technology and fads that you probably forgot about with 15 obsolete sentences from the early 2000s:
1. "Do you like my new AIM away message?"
I still remember stressing about what to put on my away message. Do you remember that annoying door-opening/closing sound effect when people signed on or off? There is also a hilarious Twitter account called Your Away Message that you should check out.
2. "Have you added SmarterChild to your buddy list?"
I loved those AIM bots that you could talk to if you were bored (or if you didn't have that many friends in middle school like me). SmarterChild was definitely the original Siri.
3. "Internet Explorer keeps crashing."
This screen probably looks familiar to you. I get stressed just looking at it.
4. "Mom, the VCR destroyed another VHS tape!"
VCRs could be vicious.
5. "I'm so jealous of your pink Motorola RAZR."
If you didn't own one, I guarantee you knew someone who did.
6. "Don't forget to bring your disposable camera!"
Even though a lot of people had cameras on their phones, disposable cameras were definitely still popular.
7. "Did you see that new episode of Boy Meets World?"
I am singing the theme song in my head right now.
8. "Why aren't you wearing your Livestrong bracelet today?"
I had one. There's a 99% chance you had one too (or you at least had some sort of rubber wristband).
9. "Check out my new Razor scooter!"
Razor scooters. Enough said.
10. "Can we play Tony Hawk?"
I was more of an SSX fan myself, but Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the PS2 was definitely a big deal.
11. "Let's trade Silly Bandz!"
Whoever came up with Silly Bandz was a genius. They must have made so much profit from such a tiny bit of shaped rubber.
12. "Yasmin is totally the best Bratz doll."
I never understood why you could take their feet off.
13. "Ooh, there's a sale on flare jeans at Wet Seal."
Apparently, Wet Seal does still exist, and they still sell products such as "Rhinestone Stitched Flare Jeans."
14. "I can't decide who to include in my Top 8 MySpace friends."
Oh, MySpace. Whatever happened to Tom?
15. "I'll meet you at Borders!"
This is by far the saddest sentence on this list. I'll never forget you, Borders.
