I just watched the first Fast and the Furious film on Netflix. Wow, that has NOT aged well, taking the series on a more over the top direction really helped those films. I haven't watched the first 2 in years...through of the ones that are actually street race movies I honestly like Tokyo Drift the best. I always thought that one got a bad rap.

I'm also in the same boat about the music. The post grunge bands and the rock/rap cross over. Like I used to think Limp Bizkit was cool. Now I hear a song, and think to myself, what was I thinking. Kid Rock I can still stand at less but even him I don't like him as much as I once did.

If you remember Point Break, you basically remember Fast and the Furious. Which, honestly, it has aged a lot, but it's still a better remake than the Point Break remake.

Word to all singers, do not put the year of the song in the title, it dates it almost immediately Frankly, you used a bad example. If you take the date out, you still have a generally non offensive apology/begging song. If you want to talk about songs being dated, let's talk about No More by 3LW. You promised me Kate Spade, but that was last year boy, in the eighth grade. I'm so 2008, you're so 2000 and late.

Music, talent, and beauty competition game shows (American Idol, America's Got Talent, America's Next Top Model, etc). Reality TV food travel and food game shows (Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef). Justin Timberlake.

Scrubs. Was edgy, funny and endearing at the time. Now it like,"Eh? What dude? Mrs. Cox is still hot though" Meh, I recently did a rewatch and it's still great to me. But by default it was a very "2000s" show because it ran from 2001 to 2010.

God yes. The "afterwash" that came after your bands like Korn/Limp Bizkit/etc. were so bad and it's amazing they ever landed a record contract. Even Korn's halfway decent albums came out prior to 2000. Serious question, why I'd korn always considered numetal?. They formed and broke I'm the mid to late nineties.

While nu metal's boom period was around '98-2003, Korn are widely considered to be the pioneers of the genre, with their debut album generally acknowledged as the first nu metal album.

Reading some of these, especially the people cringing at thoughts of their Nu Metal listening past, reminds me of one of my favorite Kyle Mooney sketches on SNL: www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/chris-for-president/2768606?snl=1I graduated from high school in 2002, so I knew so many people like Chris Fitzpatrick. This is so accurate to that time period. Especially his choice of graphics and the chaotic stock footage used for b roll. He did other stuff as Chris Fitzpatrick before being cast on SNL. Here's his band Crippled Rejex (which isn't Nu Metal, but likewise comes off something angsty kids who hang at Hot Topic would like) Language Warning

I thought it was corny as hell. I actually watched it for the first time a couple months ago. The first street race scene in particular. Everybody's quipping up a storm, Ja Rule's talking about himself in first person, and none of it feels natural. Though, let's be honest. This is a franchise that has cars dragging a bank vault through the streets of Rio, cars bringing down a cargo plane, cars jumping between three skyscrapers, cars parachuting out of a cargo plane, The Rock bringing down a helicopter to a giant minigun, cars engaging in battles with military drones on the steeets of L.A., and cars engaging in battle with a goddamn submarine in the middle of the artic circle... having natural-feeling dialogue is way down on the list of priorities.

Jackass. It might be an unpopular opinion around here, but they go so extreme when I watch it now I just think, what a bunch of tryhard idiots. ditto dirty Sanchez.
The n gage, especially the adverts for it. "This back alley is where I made three girls beg for mercy"
Games are controversial, but I can't go back to counter strike 1.6 any more. Even condition zero feels more forward than it, and that's just a lick of paint.

More like mediocre Green Day. Since you put it that way, I have to say "whiny rock" has aged badly. I mean bands like Blink 182, Sum 41, Bowling For Soup, Good Charlotte, All-American Rejects, Dashboard Confessional, Panic At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, etc. Granted, some of those bands are still around, but not as a relevant as they were earlier this past decade. The word you're looking for is Emo (esp as it pertains to Dashboard, FOB, and P!ATD). They're around still about as much as any band/genre from 10/12 years later. Blink especially has been popular for 20+ years now. I'm still trying to figure out how MySpace fell off a cliff like it did so quickly. It was a thing, then it was completely passe overnight I think that it wasn't very user friendly and facebook came along and was so simplistic MySpace was TOO customizeable. Sometimes you would click on a profile and it would be like someone shot glitter all over your computer, played a song, had a slightly different layout than other profiles, etc. It could get very "busy". Facebook came along and was basic and uniform and got the college kids. It was also easier to post pictures on, and gave you a news feed where as you had to click individual profiles on MySpace. The problem became that FB was so easy to use, that parents and grandparents started to use it and now it's a sad re-poster site that is losing it's steam with the younger generation. Jackass. It might be an unpopular opinion around here, but they go so extreme when I watch it now I just think, what a bunch of tryhard idiots. ditto dirty Sanchez. The n gage, especially the adverts for it. "This back alley is where I made three girls beg for mercy" Games are controversial, but I can't go back to counter strike 1.6 any more. Even condition zero feels more forward than it, and that's just a lick of paint. Jackass probably did age incredibly poorly, but it was a cultural phenomenon at the time. The goldfish trick in particular would probably have gone over much worse today.

I definitely wouldnt put Bowling For Soup in there (especially since they tried to put a more humorous spin on pop-punk).

I reckon the second and third Jackass movies are still quite funny But I honestly I say its less Jackass aging badly and more the whole you and your stupid mates doing dumb shit and hurting yourselves style of humor got extremely stale really fast when copycat groups such as Dirty Sanchez came in.

Pop Punk still seems as popular as ever. It's always on Kerrang TV here in the U.K. They never stop playing Good Charlotte, Sum 41, All Time Low etc for some reason.
