What year did Blockbuster close in your area?

The one closest to me closed around 2012/13, but I had stopped going there after about 2010 due to Redbox being the more convenient option. Heck even my public library had some good options. What about you guys?

Who remembers Hersey’s Kissables?

This was one of those snacks that was popular in the mid-late 2000s that were discontinued after 2009.

Does anyone remember catching at least the tail end of this aesthetic?

This went away by 2006/2007. I remember seeing this look still being prominent in the mid 2000s.

Which programming block do you miss the most here?

These programming blocks were staples from the 200s and some of them even going into the early 2010s like ABC Kids for example.

2014-15 in a picture

Why was everyone doing the praying pose in every picture? Lol. Also you had those bucket hats that replaced snap backs and those shirts were everywhere around that time and those joggers also. Can’t forget about those Nike Roshes also.

Does anyone remember this era from around 2013-2016?

This was post swag era and before hypebeat era came full swing. This was when streetwear was on the rise. These pics were definitely what you saw on Instagram or Tumblr a lot of the time.

I remember those Straight out of shirts. They were inspired from the Straight out Compton movie.

Does anyone remember using an Alphasmart type writer back then?

I swear I only saw these for like 3 years in elementary school before they got rid of them all together.

Does anyone remember the DTV Transition that happened on June 12, 2009?

This was when analog completely died since you had to get a converter box so you would be would be able to watch over the air TV. This to me was when CRT TVs died. By 2007, LCD TVs overtook CRT TVs in sales which started the decline for them. Around 2008-09 was when I started seeing more and more people get flatscreen TVs while moving their CRT TVs to their bedroom which is why they were still in use even in the early 2010s. It’s similar to VHS tapes when they were getting replaced by DVDs in the mid 2000s since DVDs overtook VHS tapes in sales in 2003 and around 2004-06 was when more and more people got DVD players and 2006 was the last year VHS tapes were made and people were still using them in the late 2000s even after they died. But yeah this was around the time High Definition was becoming more of the norm and LCD TV prices were dropping so more people were making the switch as most shows and TV channels were in high definition as for example, The Simpsons and King of the Hill started broadcasting in HD in Late 2008- Early 2009. WWE started airing in HD in January 2008, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network also began airing in HD around 2008-09.
