Your cooking gadgets, the television, the vacuum cleaner, modern toilets, and chandeliers—basically everything around you has been advanced to look and work the way it does. As these items age, they become cheaper and more affordable for the average citizen, though some old artifacts continue to appreciate in value.

Sometimes, when we look back at things we did years ago and how they are no longer trending, we tend to feel nostalgic. Most of them have faded away as if they were never there, leaving us with only memories.

However, we also can’t help but acknowledge how far we’ve come over the years. I guess that is why a Redditor by the name of u/geeyoung10 posed a question to the r/AskReddit community: "What was considered attractive in the 2000s but not now?"

The answers poured in, and you’ll likely agree with most of them, so stick around to find out their replies.
