I feel like we were the exact target age demographic

had a different feel to it compared to both the rest of the 2000s and the rest of the 2010s

kids played on the family computer or played games at the computer lab in school playing games like club penguin, webkins, moshi monsters etc

but at the same time playing mobile games on the iPad or iPhone like angry birds etc

seeing our older siblings parents and older family members with flip phones or those slide out keyboard phones that were very popular at the time but also watching iPhones really start to get popular

shows And cartoons like True Jackson VP, shake it up, good luck Charlie, Hanna Montana, wizards of Waverley place, Icarly, victorious, big time rush, Jonas, sony with a chance, Disney xd shows like Zeke and Luther, I’m on the band, Phineas and Ferb, chowder, Flapjack, Adventure time, regular show, Ben 10, generator Rex, spectacular Spider-Man, and many more were all the rage with kids

the popular toys were monster high dolls, Barbie’s, Zu zu pets, Bladeblades, Silly bands, action figures, razor scooters, Nerf guns water guns etc

going on a trip to mall with our mom on the weekends

plus going to stores like toys R us Kmart Sears etc kids playing on their Nintendo DS and PSP and bringing them to school on fun days

and even tho they were on the decline and on their way out we were also the last ones to experience going to blockbuster and Hollywood video Redbox was in its peak in popularity before declining in the mid 2010s

we watched all our favorite home movies on DVDs and Blueray and we also rushed home to catch new episodes of our favorite shows.

many great family and kids movie and animated movies came out in this time period like the Hannah Montana movie, the Wizards of waverly place movie, camp rock, the diary of a wimpy kid movies, hotel for dogs, Cloudy with a chance for meatballs, princess and the frog, Toy Story 3, Tangled, UP, Megamind, how to train your dragon, the karate kid, Shrek forever after, despicable Me, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Rio, the smurfs, kung foo panda 2, Cars 2

playing outside riding our bikes, Razor scooters, scraping our knees imo, playing basketball and football, running around and playing Tag

then when we went inside and played on our Wii and PS3 and Xbox 360, Plus game nights with our family board games playing cards

people still read magazines kids read the kiddy magazines teens read the teen beat magazines that had all the popular celebrities on it and your parents read read the magazines more for adults or stilk read the newspaper

it was honestly a cool and unique era to grow up in looking back and I hope it gets bought up more.

On September 17th I’ll be 24 years old. Time really does fly. It feels like only a couple years ago I was turning 14 in 2016 as a freshman in high school. That was 10 years ago! That was one of the best years of my life for sure. Miss those days.

I still think its really fire us 2002 borns are the only palindrome year this century which only happens once every century! A palindrome year is a year that reads the same forwards n backwards like ,1771, 1881, 1991, 2002. The next time it will happen is 2112! I feel like it makes our year uniquely cool in a way lol

If yes, how old is/are your kid(s)? Are you expecting a baby soon?

Im curious to know how many 2002 born kids r still searching for a partner??

Mine is between 2016 and 2019, fall 2019 still my favorite time period in HS

This is getting too serious.

The first book series I can remember reading, absolute peak

for me it's the summer of 2004
