I feel seen/attacked.
Replace a PlayStation 2 with a early 2000's computer and everything checks out for me.
Half Life 2 where are yoooouuuuu. And I'm so sooorry.
Almost got me
I'd like to be asked consent when my picture is posted online.
Had a similar phone, my gameboy was a couple of gens older, and I never played pokemon... But I remember when my friends got their ps2s and I listened to both albums on my commute yesterday... Wtf happened? 2005 was yesterday!
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become TV? Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows (on the radio?)
Really fucked up thing is, that song came out in 2004, and is about a woman remembering 1985, like we're remembering 2005... It's already been a year more for us than her.
Time spares no one, friend. Howl in defiance with me for just a few moments more.
Millennial, here (1988) and this is just my early-to-mid teen years, which I consider part of my childhood.
Showed the meme to my GF who born in 1995 and she couldn't even relate to half of this starter pack. Her era was Wii and DS, not GBA and PS2. Her first phone was an iPhone.
Weird, I'm only two years older than here and this image fits me perfectly. I had every version of gameboy, a GameCube, n64, I played the SHIT out of oblivion, and my back hurts.
She got started late smh we were all playing GBA on the bus back in the day.
Meanwhile I'm from 97 and started with a Gameboy color and Pokémon Red (although admittedly that was around the time Pokémon Ruby for the GBA got released, I just played on hand me downs from a cousin)

I am about your GF's age and agree with the other commenters --the meme is spot on. I was just having an Emerald nostalgia trip before I saw this meme. I played Emerald on a DS lite; the generations weren't that far apart. PS2 was my first console.
I was born in 96. My first console generation was PSX and GBC, followed by GBA and PS2. I think your gf just wasn't in to gaming when she was little.

GRAB YOUR SWORD, AND FIGHT THE HORDE! UNCLE LOTHAR WANTS YOU!
Mostly accurate, except maybe the phone. Kids (10yo as shown by the meme) having phones was much less common.
'95 kids may have had these later on as they went into highschool especially when there parents started getting early smartphones and handing down their Razr. But in 2005? Very rare.
I was born in '92. Didn't get my first phone til I was 14 in 2006. It was a Kyocera Oystr. Then in 2009 I had a Moto RAZR ve20. Most of the kids I knew called it a RAZR 1½. Loved that phone. It had a 3.5mm jack that worked with regular headphones so I put all my music on it and never asked for an iPod. It was sick that it had music controls on the back of the clamshell.
I didn't get my first smartphone until 2011, and I had to pay for it myself. It was a US Cellular variant of the Moto Photon 4G called the Electrify. It had this sick CRT animation when you locked the screen. Motorola made some kickass smartphones in the day.

I'm born 1990 and this pic was my childhood
Look at this photograph!
Oh God grandpa found the photo book again
Needs more of Bungies Halo.
Do people really remember that much before age 10? I have a few core memories but general cultural awareness is pretty lacking and mostly based on hindsight.
I remember a lot after the age of 7.
I remember mostly tech and playing video games, lol.
For extra fun: sing System of a Down in public and see who becomes confused and/or aroused.
My alarm used to be Chop Suey.
The hard part was converting then getting the cable to upload AMR files to my phone. Made me feel
PUUUUUUUL THE TAPE WORM OUT OF YOUR ASS!
" Zoomber"?
is that thing in the upper right a slice of cabbage?
Endoplasmic reticulum?
Beyblades!
I thought they were much simpler back then, no?
back then
Oof, ow, ouchie
Idk what they are now, but they were just cool looking spinning tops with sharp pokey bits to topple enemy beyblades, or more likely, to cause bodily harm to your friends, especially the diecast metal ones that had some heft to them
The one in this picture matches my idea of what new beyblades looked like in 2005-ish, when I was getting over them because they looked so excessively bulky. I think the launcher also saw a revision?

I came to the chat wondering what it was too. Look like an endoplasmic reticulum to me, but no idea why that would be there.

I’m still looking for my GBA-SP! It’s the retro Nintendo version. I want to play Golden Sun without paying for it.
Hell yeah Golden Sun!
Nothing quite like gathering a few friends and beating the crap out of each other with those lightsabers

2005 was lit! 2006 was probably one of the best years of my life, despite being relatively broke most of the time.
I was lit for most of 2005
There's no way I'm older than you. You can't do this to me!
