Already made my own thread but didn't see this one. Early 2000s (or just plain 2000s) nostalgia seems to be shaping a good part of "PC music". There's a hyper commercial, Disney Channel kind of vibe to it, recalling Kidz Bop, MTV/Vh1, or Hannah Montana. The cringier the tweenibopper music, the better it makes for PC Music source material.
Do you remember:

>Pre-movie SpongeBob
>Avril Lavigne
>Jessica Simpson

>High School Musical
>That's so Raven
>Cory in the House

>Cribs
>Pimp My Ride
>50 Cent and other "glam" rappers

>YouTube Poop in 240p made in Windows Movie Maker
>Adobe Flash in general
>AOL Instant Messenger
>Time for Kids in schools
>Pop Up Ads, Fake Contest Winner Banners, and Obnoxious Smileys yelling "SAY SOMETHING"
>Fox News
>Rich kids with huge houses doomed to foreclosure
>"Support our Troops" ribbons on Hummers
>9/11 in general
Because I sure do. It was one strange time to be alive. I'm not exactly nostalgic for any of this stuff. Whereas vaporwave inspires 90s nostalgia, PC music makes me feel shitty for not being born into a nostalgic decade. The 2000s will only ever be remembered as a time to look back and cringe at.
If you're looking for 2000s nostalgia I suggest you look into Vinesauce Joel's content on YouTube, specifically his Windows destruction videos.
