25 2000s Relics That Need A 2020s Comeback

25 2000s Relics That Need A 2020s Comeback

There are recession indicators as far as the eye can see — Lady Gaga-related Satanic Panic, a new Will Smith album on the horizon and Kristen Stewart in a role as a straight woman, to name just three. But you know what really needs a comeback? The days when you could get a decent meal without spending $40. “Arby’s 5 for $5.95. As a broke college student, $6 could get you through 3 days worth of food,” one Redditor recalled. 

Labeling Arby’s as a “decent meal” may seem like a stretch to some, but those people have probably never experienced the wonder and glory of a fast-food restaurant that had the meats.

Cheap roast beef sandwiches aren’t the only early aughts trend people wish would make a comeback either. Nostalgic Redditors have also very much longed for the days of VHS tapes, Myspace, and more dangerously, Heelys.

ttak82 4y ago LAN Parties 4+ player couch Co Op games 4.4K Award Share ... Narrow-Shake 4y ago What's depressing to me is that plenty of great couch co-op and lan- party worthy games are still coming out.

allOfTheOof 4y ago Heelies. I wasn't allowed to have them as a kid, so I'd love to normalize it as a method of travel as opposed to something like hover boards, especially since you don't have to figure out where to put them when you reach your destination-they just be chillin in your shoes. Also, entirely human powered, no electricity, so much better environmental footprint - 3.1K Award Share ...

Who_GNU 4y ago ThinkPads used to have multiple texture options for the TrackPoint, i.e. the nipple. The default one is too pointy and makes my finger go numb, but the soft one was great. The current thinner keyboards only have the single default TrackPoint texture, and it means I can't use it for an extended period of time. 644 Award Share ... bros402 4y ago I LOVED THE IBM NIPPLE IT WAS so GOOD 202 Award Share ...

tkdyo 4y ago Rollerblading. I remember I stopped watching the Xgames once they removed Blading. Skiing is the closest thing to it still popular these days. Is just so smooth and stylish and I feel like it needs a fair shake so people can see how far it has come. It can definitely hold its own next to skateboarding and BMX. 219 Award Share ...
T-The-Terrestrial 4y ago VHS. Granted it is older than the 2000s and it's crap compared to everything now but vinyl came back for the nostalgia and damn it I miss that plastic vhs case scent and that soft barely fuzzy picture it gave you. That and watching the tape rewind in the rewind machine. 42 Award Share ...

 4y ago Being anonymous online. Back in the day you wouldn't put any personal information out there. Now, a friend of mine is back in the dating game after 20 years and he's been told multiple times it's a red flag that he has no social media. All just seems backwards and crazy to me. - 12K Award Share ...
