When you think about it, a lot of crazy shit went down in 2005: YouTube launched, music bloggers became power players, Live 8 happened, Green Day resuscitated a 21-year career that had been waning to become one of the biggest bands in the world (again). Myspace had yet to hit the peak of its powers, asymmetric hair cuts were still a thing, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fell in love, Kanye dropped Late Registration, Tom Cruise jumped on a couch, Rihanna turned 17. Michael Jackson was deemed not guilty and a bunch of white doves were let loose in celebration. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published shifted nine million copies in the first 24 hours. Back then, Twitter didn't exist, nor Instagram, and we didn't even know what a Kardashian was, really, apart from in conjunction with the OJ Simpson trial. Heady days.
A lot can happen in ten years: You can mature from tweendom to signing your first lease, you could have a four-foot-something, ten year old child, you could get married and divorced to Deryck Whibley and Chad Kroeger. Like, woah.
Here at Noisey, we're taking a moment (a week) to appreciate and assess some of the awesome and downright bizarre stuff that we were into ten years ago—the defining pop culture moments, weird internet stuff that we obsessed over, some game-changing moments in music, and the art we overlooked and overhyped.
Let's rewind. Nostalgia baby, yeah!
