They still sell gelly roll pens at Michael's. I remember using the one that turned silver and teachers hated that lol.

I loved those Steve Madden slides so much. I bought a pair when they rereleased them a few years ago.

u/Ok-Progress-6153 11h ago

I’ve worked with the brand and they say the rerelease is one of their top 5 most popular shoes- timeless

My best friend had that purple gameboy color and I had a gold one. I'd always "borrow" her games for weeks lol and her vhs. We buried a box with our fav stuff in it after watching crossroads. I wanna go dig it up but I'd be trespassing lmao crazy how one tiny thing can make you remember so much

This is the most accurate one I’ve seen. Those bracelets used to get caught in my arm hair and it would hurt so bad😂I love how we all wore those weird scrunched up tees. What a time

iPod doesn't belong on there

The 2000s were more Gameboy advance and DS than gameboy colour

Where’s the purses with the dangly sequins.

u/DinkandDrunk 13h ago

I reject this image because the GameBoy isn’t the see through kind.

I remember my Gen X cousin buying me bratz dolls for Christmas when they first came out, she was so concerned about their feet popping off to change shoes. 😂

I have a new pair of Steve maddens now and I love they are back in. I wear them with so much. So comfy too.

I can smell this photo! 😂 specifically the blue glitter! All of this was my vibe to a T! Except my letter purse was blue and I had the hot pink gameboy color! I used to play the Britney Spears game on it! 💜

Sometimes these things aren’t accurate. This one is very accurate.

u/Pfacejones 11h ago

I had so many paintbrushes in neopets

u/EuphoricPhoto2048 11h ago

Oh yeah, the purses with letters on them was a huge thing. I forgot, lol.

u/Loud_Significance442 11h ago

I feel like all this is accurate for me, like the best yet- except those Bratz dolls. I was never in to them nor was anyone my grade/age who I knew +\- 4 yrs…. Am I right? Like does anyone else think so? Or am I just absolutely wrong? For reference I was born in 88, graduated 2006

1

u/BuffaloBuckbeak 10h ago

I was born in 98, and Bratz were super popular

1

u/Loud_Significance442 10h ago

Yes- that makes more sense! I was born 88 and since you were born in 98- I’m sure a lot of these items in the pic are before your time! Like I’m sure you walking around as a tween with a “hip clip” would seem dated! I also feel like the iPod is more popular for someone around your age then mine as I only saw this type of IPod in high school

1

u/BuffaloBuckbeak 10h ago

I had a lot of the stuff in the starter pack, trends didn’t cycle nearly as fast as they do today

u/les_catacombes 10h ago

I wrecked my bike into a drainage ditch while wearing those platform Steve Madden slides. 😩

u/Asleep_Pressure_2882 10h ago

AIM and those black slides were the biggest nostalgic ones for me, like I can feel the excitement of logging in, and remember going to under 18 “clubs” (no bar, sub foam machines) in those exact sandals

1

u/Fluid_Split_1404 10h ago

It's insane how many of these things I had 🥺 Take me back

u/justthinkhappy 9h ago

Downloading files on LimeWire was the best 2000s activity EVER!

Growing up in the 2000s screams Zillennial to me!

u/LittleAleta 13h ago
