I think the whole 9/11 desensitised stuff for a lot of people. Seeing screams and death was near impossible to see without being in the war pre 2001. Fast forward to today and death probably exists on YouTube I don't know. The iPhone revelation was a huge mistake. ******** wouldn't have bloomed the way it did if it wasn't accessible on smartphones.

It's like people intentionally created this disaster.

Read response #23 to Celsus. That further explains why I have no idea and plan not to have any idea anytime soon.

Yeah I thought so, just wasn't sure as a lot of them vanished.

Eminem looks like a retard now, I swear he's wearing makeup. Him and the Rock were cool people pre 2010 aswell but pick any person on this planet and that is the case. Nicole Scherzinger, Simon Cowell, Beyonce, Madonna whatever anyone, they were cool pre 2010, just ugly weird clowns post 2010.

I dunno, Arnold and that vince guy are just old. Nothing majorly clowny going on there.

Do u remember that Kid Kudi guy from 2009? I saw a recent ******** post and man does he look beyond retarded. Paints his nails, wears makeup, looks like a rainbow. Only guy that can wear makeup is Lee Priest.

There was an overflow of cool/beast people back then, I have not seen anyone remotely close in the modern world. All these fitness youtubers and whatever are just embarrassing. Yo Elliot was the last one, but even he went a bit fuzzy.

Yeah idk what happened. The youtube lifters now film themselves eating food and 99% of the videos they don't even lift. No way the old youtubers like Hodgetwins, Gregg Plitt, Elliot were like this.

Yeah after woke culture formed on twitter and then ******** everything changed.

Think the ‘hah gay’ scene from the hangover put it all in higher gear. Woke people were talking ‘you can’t say things like that bc it offends people’ anonymously on twitter without showing their face.

I'm confused.

This is bad taste of culture. Tattoos are disgusting and mostly for low IQ people.

I’m part of the pre 9/11 camp.

That was right around the time we, as a country, started our downward trend.

Pre 9/11 was glorious, I feel bad for anyone who didn’t get to live during that time.


This time is completely fubar

Ideally I'd say that 2005 sounds like a utopia, but I chose 2010 over it because 2010 culture was stronger and was perfect, plus, all of the yeara before 2010 was in existence in that year anyways.

Yeah man, I'm beggining the people who designed the WWE Jackass Jersey Shore were the real masterminds. I wonder what happened to them. I find it hard to believe that the creative minds behind it (born in the 60's/70's) turned retarded after 2013 too. Although I'm noticing that this weird retard behaviour isn't age relevant anymore, the clowns are in all age ranges, just more noticeable in people who are currently 18-25 now since they're sort of in the spotlight.
If you think 2010 was a utopia then holy fuark summer of 2000-2001 was like heaven on earth

I think the difference these days is that if you act out in public there is a fairly strong chance you will be filmed and posted on some limp wrist social media for everyone to hate.

People know this instinctively and tone themselves down because of it.

That being said, true alphamaxxed males (i.e. low IQ meat monsters) will still engage in this behaviour, it's just cooler in general to be ****maxxed on tiktok in 2022

I've noticed that eating thing recently too. 25+ minute videos with millions of views. They must be earning shed loads. Could imagine that the excuse of an audience just leaves the videos running in the background, the same dumbass tubsters listening to 2 hour podcasts.

Yeah totally, I forget how awesome they were on the side, all formed in around 2009ish, then got popular in 2010/11ish. Yo elliot and the hodetwins are identical, except the hodgetwins used to have those awesome dumbass intros.



Those old bodybuilding magazines were perfect culture aswell. So insane, actually has fit induviduals on the front. The modern ones are pathetic, explaining useless stuff.

Hold the fuk up. Dafuk are you talking about?
Both of those people look like absolute trash, culturally. Jersey shore wannabe mother fukers. 100% chance they are both garbage people with garbage personalities.

I'm not defending current culture. But what a god damn travesty to show a picture of people like that and call it perfect. Fuking trash goblins. Cringe af.

Those people should be burned alive right next to the blue haired woke *******s.

Haha, again, why mess when something when there's barely anything wrong? It's like the balance of things are all out of whack. I couldn't imagine the kids in school now, 99% of the time the word gay is said. I wonder how these new teachers handle it.

Lol, I have seen a few "bullying" cases thrown all over ********. I know 10 year old me would've been pretty mad if I was circulating around online for mere school troubles.

I would never have tattoos, just a cool design. 99% of the time those tribal tattoos they're on huge buff guys, so that's what makes it cool.

I may look into that a bit more. That was a whole decade before 2011, which is interesting since the 10 years since 2011 didn't have the same spice at all.

Nah, you can't say that anymore. I get what you're saying, but never has there been a time where people are glued to their phones outside for 11+ hours a day as the norm. Never has everyone literally looked like carbon copies of one another. Etc.

Haha, I chose this because there's a lot of culture in it. Tribal tattoos on a guys arm which is the size of that woman's head. That culture has gone. Modern lifters are just blank canvasses. Watching Mariusz Pudzianowski was tank, can't say the same for Eddie Hall and whoever, they just have these blips of social media dialogue which is ridiculous too me.

Eh, I guess it's not for everyone. I think back then they would cause issues too.

You sound a bit crazy, what the heck is a blue haired whatever lol.

Ohhh right, I haven't seen that before :/

I added an edit about the wsm stuff. But do u get what I'm saying? Stuff was just culturally rich/hardcore back then. Yeah the guys were tools, but they were 6"1 9% bf 100kg tools. Say that to them and they'd launch you. Say something about any modern atrocity, clowns would probably wimper and name call.
