what was so great about being a teen/young adult in the 00's

Kids stopped feeling ashamed for having an interest in technology and video games. It was no longer a bad thing to be a "nerd". Then as more and more normies adopted technology, technology became more and more cancerous and now kids are being inundated with all of the worst parts of human nature before they've learned how to develop a resistance to it.

Back when the internet was still fun and about fucking around instead of being a soulless corporate hellhole full of empty-headed sycophants and narcissists.

internet was pretty cool

what happened in 1994

>the scale on that graph

Wow it’s nothing. So basically suicide rates have stayed constant the last 30 years.

yep

College has gotten so crazy competitive just to throw your life into mountains of debt. It's a lot of pressure on high schoolers.

lmaoing @ whites

it's hardly that much different. But really, like everything after 2008, the economy was a lot better back then and crime was very low.

also:
>The yellow ribbon is also an emblem for suicide awareness. "The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program" is a community-based program primarily developed to address youth/teen/young adult suicides (ages 10–25) through public awareness campaigns, education and training and by helping communities build capacity." The program began in September 1994 after the suicide of 17-year-old Mike Emme.

Correct.

yeah

The illusion of peaceful coexistence between races, as well as the failure to see the intrinsic destructiveness of laissez-faire economics toward the working class.

My question is what the fuck was up with the 80s?

States started deregulating gun ownership and started enacting harsh crime bills like the 3-strikes law which passed in most states. crime was much less after the 80s.

Why was suicide so high up until 1994?

4% more suicides isnt a big deal

>The illusion of peaceful coexistence between races
That can actually happen though, people are just addicted to idpol tribalism in the wake of emptiness

early internet
video games were good

eternal september

No, that's not the reason, we did that even more back in the early-mid 2000s.
The real reason is that you zoom zooms base all your value on dumb internet shit because you're scared of doing anything in real life.
It's why so many posters on Yas Forums act like absolute retards here, because they know if they did it on any other website they'd lose their precious digital social capital.
Back in the 2000s, we didn't give a fuck about that outside of maybe an obscure forum or 2 (and those people were the minority), so people were less obsessed with how they'd look on twitter or whatever other gathering of retards on the internet they associate with.

x games started in 94

no one else will get this fellow old man

Based and statisticianpilled

Everyone who uses this site deserves death.

>implying
Have you seen the internet in 2000-2010? calling for everyone else's suicide was wilder back then and yet they've got the least amount of suicides.

The cold war was still a thing.

Exposing children to social media at a young age is extremely damaging.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

there were less people on the internet then too though

That also plays a factor, but the bigger issue is just people being faggots and thinking they have some internet capital to maintain.
It's why posting quality has declined so much on Yas Forums, before people came here because they wanted to talk about a specific thing, usually a hobby that they were very interested in. Either that or they came through Yas Forums because they were dumbass children who wanted to be an internet badass. Nowadays people only come here to act like retards, so all the new posters are literally borderline-invalids who act like morons and think that the dopamine hit they get from that (You) notification is a replacement for an actual sense of accomplishment in their real life.

The 90's was fucking awesome. I know the media tries to repeat the same "THINGS ARE BETTER NOW THAN EVER" meme based on shit no one cares about like the economy (some rich jew making money somewhere) or 'social climate' (people weren't asphyxiating over their skin color back then like they are now) But the late 90's and early 00's really were a miniature golden age. Video games were better than ever. Movies were amazing. Comic books were dying, but that was something coming for a long time. The internet was the best it had ever been and maybe ever will be depending on who you ask. Plus there wasn't that much on the news to spell doom and gloom other than some stock market shenanigans (Enron was sort of the beginning of the end of this period).

It's like the polar opposite of what we have now, and the newspeak media will fight until its last breath to convince us that we didn't have things better before 9/11 and that we're safer and happier than ever before while pandemics wreck our country and the internet becomes more and more locked down. We entered Huxley's worse nightmares after 9/11 and nobody dares speak up against it. The people who do are clowns who will gladly suck the dick of their worst enemies as long as they placate them occasionally.

definitely. insults were more rampant too. things were more free back then, mostly because people knew that the internet is SRS BSNS.

Don't forget government control. Don't forget the part where the government and corporations sold it out and made it impossible to succeed on the internet unless you're one of the biggest silicon valley duopolies on Earth.

>tfw will never relive 1999

I just want to relive that one year -- or maybe 2000 -- for eternity. Is it too much to ask?

the more things change, the more they stay the same.

>mostly because people knew that the internet is SRS BSNS.
I miss this shit the most, the new generation with all their annoying fucking slacktivism is the god damn worst.
Especially the retards who actually think they're making a difference by sitting on their fatass whining about shit on twitter, or worse, Yas Forums.

This, "The internet is serious business" used to be a meme because we all knew, deep down, that the internet wasn't very serious business.
I remember that era being shattered for me Circa 2005-2006 when I first started seeing people see the 'The internet is serious business' meme and say "Yeah, ain't that the truth.", that's when I realized that people took it way more seriously than I did, and they were really just waiting for a moment to flip the culture around and make it into the corporate nightmare that it has become.

It's funny to think that in 2006, I didn't think my stay on Yas Forums would last more than a few months because there really wasn't anything special about it. That was ironically the same year that legislation started getting passed to make it impossible to make small-time social media anymore thanks to government regulations and new government restrictions on datacenters to where someone couldn't just set one up in his basement anymore.

way too many kikes itt

You just reminded me of Chanology. Good god, was that the beginning of the end?

This. When I was in high school (2002-2006) MySpace was already a thing but the most drama it would bring was the Top 8 shit. You still needed a computer to access it. There were no smartphones yet and no immediate access to the internet.
If you notice on the OP chart, suicide rates started to trend upwards in 2007, when the first iPhone came out, and it hasn't gone down since then... I feel sorry for kids growing up today. With Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, etc youre not allowed to fuck up without someone recording it and putting it online for everyone to see. It sucks.

she’s cute

what happened in 2003

To be fair, this doesn't help when they now take that culture onto their phone and drag it with them everywhere.

"Kys" as a joke was funny because it was just a computer. Like, close your eyes, walk away. How do you get cyberbullied?
now it's "Oh fuck someone just found something I typed to a friend six years ago my life is over why are people mailing me cheese pizzas and knocking on my door in the middle of the night? I can't even call someone on my phone without people ringing it because all of the social media apps are built in"

There's a reason they chose that year for The Matrix

People those days knew how to seperat the online from the real life
Kids these days dont know what its like to "hide [their] powerlevel"
Instead they chop their dicks off because strangers on the internet told them to become girls

Invasion of Iraq. A lot of people didn't take it too well and you had a miniature period of hysteria over it.

>"terrorism/terrorist" was not a household term and you virtually never heard about it
>race and gender were things you virtually never heard arguments about
>on the extremely rare occasion you heard about trannies existing, nobody considered them sane
>you could have a movie or show with an all white cast and no body whined about a lack of diversity
>not everything was a reboot, remake, or spinoff
>video games came out completed and fully working
>national security was a virtue, not a sin
>social media was non-existent
>smartphones were non-existent
>anyone who tried to downplay the dangers of AIDS or insist that refusing to have sex with an HIV positive person was somehow morally wrong would have been rightfully deemed insane
>it was socially acceptable to speak your mind, socially acceptable to be right or left, and socially acceptable to mock each other relentlessly for it

I want to go back.

yeah, but i think kony is when it got really shitty

There's no powerlevel for normalfags.

No God, no family values, drugs in place of social interaction.

Retard. There was MySpace, LiveJournal, AIM, blogs, lots of shit. Every kid was using social media at my high school, you were just a little child and didn't know until when you came of age and there was facebook.

Remember when "the internet is serious business" was a meme, not a mantra?

me too, dude

everybody put their shit aside for the next few years after 9/11

>people have to be scared to be good
people should just die then. i'd rather be dead than "godfearing"

Thinga were almost as shit as they are now but ignorance was at an all time high back then.

I don't know, times were just good. I think the patriotism boom that happened after 9/11 gave a lot of people purpose who otherwise didn't have it.

People actually take what people say here seriously?

How weak minded do you have to be to take whatever some random anonymous internet asshole says to heart?

>ignorance
You mean civility.

Post the standard deviation.
