What seems the most dated about the 2000s?

Why does this look older to me than pics taken in the early 90s?
Group mascots in fast food meals.
Now reduced to a single mascot (McD) or no one (BK),
Speaking of porn, lengthy shots of crotch. Sometimes appearing in a random fashion.

Goddamnit...I had one of these.
This is what I was thinking too. I also saw a lot of these with Samurai Shodown characters.Most people wearing these had no idea who these characters were. It was so cringing seeing 30 - 40 year old dudes wearing these.
oh man, myspace.
the other day on twitter i saw someone quote tweet a youngster saying "wouldnt it be awesome if on twitter we could like load our favorite music for people when they click on our profile" the person that quoted the youngster saying "we've now reached the point in time when kids are on twitter that dont remember myspace.
MySpace lives on in my heart - I met the wife through MySpace 11 years ago!
Microsoft Points
Scion XB
And people trying to update foodz to be cool and hip for the kidz. Colored ketchup, 3D Doritos, etc.

Before YT, I remember watching Naruto on DiVX at chopping framerate (sub 1GB RAM computer).
And dark rooms. Anyone under 20 know what these do?
I wonder if photography classes in schools still use film. My high school did but this was in 2002 - 2004. Its possible its all digital now. In my senior year, I took our schools first photoshop class.
That's not dated, that's actually the last good MAC out there, handle in the back, easy to use and none of this "ooh, we have to be a fashion statement!". It was practicality over design and affordable :). And there even was a cheaper version :) for students :).
Von Dutch caps, sweat bands and Rosary beads!
Before streaming sites internet porn was more of an ordeal - find a clip with an interesting description (no thumbnails here) and wait ages for it to download checking now and then to see 2-3 seconds at a time.
Days of dvds made up of celebrity sex tapes, I had one that ranged from the obvious - Paris Hilton, right through to John Fucking Leslie - ex kids tv presenter in England!
On a related note - Paris Hilton in general!

the character "The Todd" from Scrubs
pretty much everything else about that show holds up pretty well, but that character - yikes
he was written as some over ridiculously over top figure and not someone to emulate but put him in a 2018 and there'd be a lot of think pieces written about how problematic he is

Beyonce is still very much relevant. Is this just a list of celebrities you don't like?
It pissed me off so hard that my TV had the hardest time picking up this Fox, I remember I had to watch Digimon a few times by just hearing it since the imagine was just static.
It was genius.
Yooooooooooooo this is so damn true wow. A lot of characters from that time period wouldn't go today.
Remember Stifler? Man, guys like him in all those 2000s high school/college movies wouldn't dare set foot in 2018. Fuck it was bad.
The 00s were really the lamest, most nondescript decade in living memory. It's telling that despite living through it half th people in here can't tell the difference between what's 90s & what's 00s. It's like, 9/11 happened right off the bat to make everybody stupid and paranoid. Then Hey Ya came out, then the iPhone, and after that meh. Obama got elected, that was huge, but most of his presidency belongs to the following decade.
This decade has been far more meaningful and memorable in terms of an identity and societal change - the social justice revolution, the explosion of social media altering society and human self image, huge advances in LGBTQ rights, Obama & Trump, nazi riots, the reemergence of Russia, the death spiral of broadcast TV & radio, superhero movies, the global explosion of Asian culture, human genome mapping, deep learning, crypto-currency, self-driving cars on the road, private space flight...it's not even close.

There were flat screen then for sure. The term you're looking for is flat panel. No one cares to make the distinction nowadays, however.
Half of this list is still incredibly relevant.
Should've gone with Avril and Nickelback.
Die Another Day. It's hard to describe but visually it went for this very "new, very clean" look with many of the effects and sets but ended up looking dated because of it.
I don't even think they used them when they were new. I knew maybe one person at best that had one.
Weeks before 9/11 the Bush Admin was making a hard push to end racial profiling in airports. I remember that because I was really surprised that John Ashcroft would support such a thing, given his reputation. Then 9/11 happened and we went full paranoid.
Jersey dresses are legit sick and I'd give major props to any woman willing to wear one today.
Baggy/loose fitting pants till the day I die. Ya'll can have the nut huggers

Sweatpants with words on the butt (hot, princess, etc.)
Those belts that had the digital buckle with words and shit.
I don't know if this was only a trend for black girls but I remember when girls would wear pacifiers???
And finally these:

Yeah, I can't really distinguish between the late 90s and early 00s myself. Like when were calling cards around, or paying ridiculous landline charges, or phone modems, or pagers for non-emergency personnel.
Also, at least in my household, watching live TV. DVRs made time shifting too easy.
