well, it's a while from now but it's something to think about.
I imagine it as a time of peace and reawakening with a possible Retro Junk still active(I pray it is) and this time having a 00's section. This time the new discussion will be, "Should there be a '10's discussion?
That would be interesting

LOL, I tell my teenager this all the time. When ever she makes fun of me for being on rj I tell her someday she will be me talking about the shows and toys that don't exist anymore.
She is gonna be so sorry the day she calls me up and says,"mom, do you remember that toy you bought me when I was little?" I am gonna say," wow! you are gettin old!". But since she is my little girl and always will be, I will have a heart;) and give the little brat the name of the rj site and send her on her way.lol.

haha.
Back a long time ago (say, the 80s, and even as far back as the 50s during the Elvis era), I'm sure there were older people thinking music was already bad and TV shows were awful.
It's funny.

You will have to ask Vertex on a 2000s section of the site. We are already covering 3 decades as it is.
When I first came to RJ (originally as ducktalesfan1977) last October, I wasn't even expecting a 1990s section on here. When they added the "Retro" course at the HS my wife teaches at last year, they cover almost every era of the 20th century but the 1990s. The principal said it wasn't retro yet when I asked her (she's 39 years old, my wife will be 29 y.o in October). So yeah, I agree with her.
The 2000s will be eventually "retro" though.

wow, I think that is wonderfull that they are offering a retro course at the HS. Some schools are a lot cooler than others.:cool:
A lot of us never imagined that out generation would be retro, than again, I'm not that old but I like talking to you senior citizens.

We like talking to you too when us seniors aren't out running errands. That reminds me....I'm out of depends, denture adhesive, and prune juice.
Like 1990's music will be considered the Oldies. I can't picture that.

Yeah...the oldies station will be saying "And now, time for the Class of 1998 countdown...let's hear one from N'Sync!"
The day N'Sync is on oldies is the day I get an AARP card.

Just imagine all the remakes of todays popular show & movies.

they are already remakes of remakes sooooo I guess this will never end?.... *misspiggy cries on kermits shoulder*:(
It's already happening now (witness the RetroJunk entries for "Seed Of Chucky", "That's So Raven" and several Nintendo commercials).
I'm not that happy about the 90s being retro, if only because it held so many bad memories for me, not to mention there was some hardcore 80s bashing going on in that decade. There was good stuff from the 90s, but it's outweighed by all I had to go through on emotional, educational, psychological and mental levels.
Once again, look up my article "Don't Call Me A Poser". It tells about my experiences in the 90s and why I'm not comfortable with it.

Back around 1995 or so, I was talking with my friends about how cool Transformers: The Movie was. Then this thought came to my head- 10 years later, guys our age (I was 17 at the time) would be talking about how cool Power Rangers was, in the same way we talked about Transformers.
I was really weirded out by that thought. No offense to you PR fans, but at the time a lot of people our age thought it was the cheesiest show on TV. So it's a little strange for me to see 18, 19, 20 year old guys talking about how cool the show was.
So what you're going through now, imagining when the stuff of today is becoming retro, is exactly what I went through then.

doesnt retro imply 80s technically speaking?
Not anymore it doesn't. Times change and it's pretty annoying. What can you do, though?

[FONT=Impact]that skool is kick ass i wish i had that course when i was in hs[/FONT]
I'll probably leave this site by then; I loathe so much of the popular things of this decade-- except for like South Park, Scrubs, the Nintendo Wii, and the Internet or something... Family Guy's okay but it's a bit overrated. Rap "music" ticks me off so much. Who cares if a DVD can display pixels the size of grains of sand? Heelies tick me off... "just 'cause". "Your Mom" jokes are lame. Video arcades are no longer popular or good as a social gathering. Kids' shows from the 2000s are lame. Modern radio has nothing but a bunch of country and rap music. We have a bad president and the vast majority of candidates for '08 won't be much better (except for Ron Paul).
This is why I wish I could go back to the 1990s, but not as a little kid-- as a teenager so I can appreciate it the way I wish I could.
Don't you diss the Power Rangers-- They ruled!

Just found out something very bizarre...
Nick at Nite, once the home of truly retro TV, has acquired the rights to "Friends".
FRIENDS.
You know, the show that came off the air three years ago?
A show that ended in 2004 will be considered "retro" in just a few short years. Wow.

Right now stuff from the 60's and 70's are popular.
Soon it will be the 90's. I loved the 90's way more than this decade.
