(copying this from a forum post I made, just wanted to post it here too)
It feels like whenever I look at popular stuff released in the late half
of the 2000s, it's almost always from 2007, sometimes 2008 (usually
early 08 but 08 nonetheless), it seems like such an insane(ly good) year
for pop culture stuff, like for example:
Games released in 2007 include:
- Crysis
- Team Fortress 2
- Bioshock
- Guitar Hero 3 (and Rock Band)
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Call of Duty 4
- Mass Effect
- Halo 3
- Portal
- Uncharted
- Skate
- Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
Films released in 2007 include:
- Superbad
- Ratatouille
- Transformers (the only GOOD Michael Bay one)
- Spider-Man 3
- Juno
- Paranormal Activity
- 300
Lastly, some albums that came out in 07 include:
- Beyond by Dinosaur Jr
- Graduation by Kanye West (yes, I know)
- Hold Your Colour By Pendulum
- In Rainbows by Radiohead
- Myths of the Near Future by Klaxons
- Year Zero by NIN
- Riot by Paramore
- Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
- Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys
- Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy
- A Fever You Can't Sweat Out by P!ATD
- Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
In terms of internet stuff, it's also where places like YouTube, YTMND, and Newgrounds had some amazing stuff uploaded, and there were plenty of classic memes that were introduced in this time, it feels like whenever I hear people talk about older videos/memes that got popular, most of the time it's from 2007 (or 2006), like I Wanna Be The Guy and Cat Mario released that year, they're personal examples but still, feels like 2007 was the year that everyone was like "alright lets just release total bangers"

(I accidentally deleted the tab and it didnt saved my reply soooo I'm remaking this lol) I agree, especially the music part, you know, Hatsune Miku released, and so songs I love like Pyshic Suicide by Sonic Syndicate, Nailed To The Ground by Pain (Psalms of Extention is one of my fav albums of all time), Someone Else by Intricated (too bad they stopped making music in the same year) and my all time fav Synthesize Me by Diorama (a shoutout to 10.000 Meter Waves, I love that song). Too bad I don't remember almost any song released in 2008, maybe Artificial Sun Projection by Scar Symmetry and Violent Acts of Hate by Black Heaven (to be far I don't remember any from 2006).

Man, if only I weren't only 1 year old in 2007. I'd do anything to have been a teenager back then instead of now. :'(
i mean i was 4 in '07 so i feel the exact same way >.>

i can relate to this, i was 3 years old in 2007 and i dont remember much or almost anything from then, it did sound a lot better to be a teenager at the time, rather than after 2016
