The first decade of the millennium has already ended…..I just had to say it the epic way XD but really, a whole decade has already gone by and I’m in college now I feel so olddd ToT I remember when it was 2000, I was like what, 4th grade? GAAHHHH XD
Forgetting about the new year for a while, it’s time to look back on the past decade and see what we’ve accomplished. Let’s see…..a pointless war, lots of paranoia + xenophobia, and many celebrity deaths around the whole freakin world. Can we look at the positive things for a moment =.=” well we’ve advanced in technology as if we went through a time warp. Like seriously. Even in like 2004, cell phones were monochrome, fat and all with antennas. Now we got touchscreen smartphones popping out left and right. Macs back then were cutely round and colorful desktops. Now they’re seen as the epitome of computers. MP3 players had like 256mb (or whatever the number was) of memory, was bulky with no color screens and the like. Now we have things like the iPod Touch with 32GB stalking us. It’s been tech-crazy this decade.
Moving away from the techness, at the end of the decade, we have elected our first “black president”. I’m not going into the whole technical thing about how he’s not all completely black, it doesn’t matter. Honestly, how many people would’ve known that? Even I didn’t know before until people started yelling it out as if they were protesting…..bunch of losers *rolleyes* seriously though, the “majority” of America has finally looked past skin color. Racism is seriously an old habit and is just UGH now, but that’s a whole other rant for another time x]]
In terms of fashion, that’s certainly been a fun house, too. 80’s fashion is creeping around again and Asia has officially gone awry with ideal boyfriends being a guy that’s prettier than his girlfriend. Which I don’t mind. It’s funny, actually. My only complaint is that girls have become rape magnets but that’s their problem, not mine.
Now in terms of music, it’s just gone DOWN. In the early 2000s, music was mad good, even in America. But now, not so much. Unless you’re like those rock bands *cough cough Linkin Park cough* or like Lady Gaga (also gonna be another separate topic), you just aren’t gonna stand out. Some of the long standing artists like Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce are also respectable and still going strong with worthwhile songs. But the new artists popping up are just like ugh stop making my ears bleed. Even in Asia, they’re resorted to nothing but repetitive club and ballad music. They don’t really praise (or just even accept) things like rock. I’m not just saying that cause I like rock (it’s the BEST XD) but in general, a country made up of nothing but dance and ballad isn’t really that great. You need diversity in music, too~~ a great mix is always awesome ;P I just don’t understand why Asia (alright, well…..KOREA to be more specific, since China and Japan are like rock rockkk) doesn’t like rock so much. I mean, they act all “excited” when there’s a rock band, but really, none of their faces really say “I’m liking this”. And there are some really great rock artists in Korea that I love. It’s really a shame and a waste =.=;; what these people really wanna see is more pointless girl groups and club music that has no meaning whatsoever.
Getting off topic xDDD ….but yeah. From my point of view, decade hasn’t been the best in general, like global-wise. As for my personal life, it’s been the time in my life that had the most change cause it’s when all the graduations happened and when all the core friendships were made and when I went through all the teen drama XD life-wise, it was awesome ^^
