The Top Ten
1 00s kids were more sociable

Social media didn't dominate 00s kids lives and as a result kids still socialised with their friends in person a lot in the 00s instead of messaging in social media. Talking in person will always be the best form of communication.

Just to add, childhood is between the ages of 3 and 11. find out what decade your childhood was by using this:

60s kids: 1953-1961
60s/70s hybrid: 1962
70s kids: 1963-1971
70s/80s hybrid: 1972
80s kids: 1973-1981
80s/90s hybrid: 1982
90s kids: 1983-1991
90s/00s hybrid: 1992
00s kids: 1993-2001
00s/10s hybrid: 2002
10s kids: 2003-2011

2 Video games were much cheaper

Before the late 00s DLC didn't exist, you could buy a brand new game for about £30 (or $40-45) and that was the full game, no £50 DLC to buy a year later. The price to get the game in the first place was much cheaper, now brand new games are more expensive even if you adjust it for inflation.

3 10s kids don't know what life before social media and the Internet was like

People are very quick to insult people, and easily offended themselves on the Internet these days. I worry the younger generation will grow up acting in person exactly like they do on the Internet, because they won't know any different and won't have a clear distinction between insulting someone online and insulting them in real life.

4 Better Music

00s mainstream music wasn't perfect, but the stuff you heard on the radio in the 00s was way better than the rubbish you hear on the radio now.

To your taste and I'm not a kid of either decade.

5 Nuclear war is a much bigger threat in the 10s compared to the 00s

Now we have a threat from North Korea and Russia is stirring up trouble again. The world was more peaceful overall in the 00s.

6 Kids weren't being indoctrinated by Political correctness and feminism in the 00s

Oh blah blah blah feminism is running everything blah blah blah when its just about equality.
Politically Correctness you overused the word.

7 In the 00s kids didn't constantly check their phones when they were out in public

Nowadays I here claims of people constantly looking at their phones even when they're having a social conversation at a restaurant. These sort of claims were unheard of in the 00s.

That's because I didn't even HAVE a phone.

8 Better TV Shows

00s had better kids T.V. shows. The 00s had Drake & Josh, SpongeBob was in its prime, Power Rangers Ninja Storm & Dino Thunder were then best Power Rangers, Jimmy Neutron, reruns of Goosebumps and 1994 Spider-Man series (in the UK anyway), Cubix, Cramp Twins, Ned's Survival Guide and FairyOdd Parents. The Pokémon anime was much better too and Lost was another great 00s T.V. show.

I watched 90s and 00s shows back around 2008-2011.

9 Kids were fitter

Kids in the 00s were fitter than kids now because we went outside more. The parents of today's kids spent twice the amount of time playing outside compared to their children.

Before the mid 2010s I was much more fit.

10 If you had beef with someone in the 00s you confronted them person to person to settle it instead of cowardly insulting them online behind a screen

Happened to me many times back in the day, but in my opinion that proves that 2010 kids are better.
