I feel like there should be a picture of Gir in between the hair dye and the Pick of Destiny.

It's definitely missing Gir and the Blink-182 Self Titled album logo.
Actually if we wanted to be pedantic, (and why else are we here?) we could argue this is too wide a spread and encompasses multiple mini-generations. For example I loved MSI and Foamy and Tenacious D, but I was already in high school when Pick of Destiny came out and likewise I hated Happy Tree Friends as I felt it was both awful and mostly for younger kids (who shouldn't have been watching it, but it beats rotten.com and some of the other early Internet stuff they missed the boat on, but I digress...) This covers a wide spread of the early and mid to late 2000s and that doesn't seem like much from an outside perspective but this was back when years felt a proper length.
MSI... there's a name I've not heard in forever (beyond my laptop, that is). That was a fun group for a time. And Neurotically Yours I had all of.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is there for Johnen Asked L Vasquez rep though
IF YOU’RE SO SMART, EXPLAIN THIS CLARISSA! POW!
I do love me some MSI.
I'm something of a man of culture myself.
I'm having a hard time finding a good picture, but I had a whole wall of Frankenstein Girls lyrics written in silver sharpie.
Me too. This was their best album, IMO. I genuinely love half the tracks, and listen to many of them regularly.
It was eligibly the most expensive and ridiculously produced album of all time. It’s their best album because nobody ever trusted them with their wallet like that again, lol.

Ooh! Ooh! Are we doing JTHM again? That means I get to post this picture one more time:
That you?
Indeed, holding the pair of scissors from this column.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go tend to this wall in my basement. You know how it is.
Don't let it dry out!
I have that image of Foamy as a tattoo
Oh dang. I had forgotten all about that flash cartoon. What was it called again?
Illwillpress
Is that the cartoon squirrel? I remember the squirrel from back in the day but I can’t remember the name of the show… or the squirrel..

Wish I could find some Bawls today.
They have it at Micro Center if you live near one.
I was just reminded of that the other day. They have a store locator.

That Happy Tree Friends episode where the elk had to amputate it's leg with a spoon, only to realize he did the wrong one when he was finished, still follows me :D

I'd like to guess solely on the specific images in the meme that you are exactly 31.
I'm 41 and this speaks to me on a fundamental level.
A 31 didn't become a teenager until the late 00s
Suburbs 31. Back then it took a few years for the culture to permeate into the breeding grid

yessss, JTHM! That shit was so cool to me
Also I introduced my friend group to Donnie Darko and American History X and it gave me remarkable street cred lol All of a sudden I was "the movie guy"
Hmmm, I feel like an Mp3 player should be part of this collage.
I feel seen...
It's time for you to wake up, and take me, to the baggle shop, for a baggle with cream cheese, that creamy creamy cheese, OR FACE MY SQUIRRELY RATH!
I do have squirrely wrath you know. It's one of those, hidden nature things.

I haven't been in a while, but a couple years ago, you could still find Bawls at Microcenter of all places.
Yeah they still carry it. I pick one up for nostalgia purposes every now and then if I’m there

Don't be dissing on Foamie
Oh sure, you all had Happy Tree Friends, but some of us were on next-level shit with R-slur Animal Babies
Never watched donny darko, but it was referenced in a song I used to listen to :3
It’s a movie about a man who has the mental illness that 2000’s people thought schizophrenia was. Today, we’d call it Edgelord’s Disease.

Watched it on our university's planetarium dome when my friend worked there. Awesome way to watch!
I'll give you Bawls and Pixie Sticks as for wannabe edgy kids, but DDR was mostly otaku and otaku adjacent.

Fucking loved foamy the squirrel
Where are those belts with the fake spikes on them?
Dance Dance Revolution - Get Ready
Just a little after my teen years, but HTF and Bawls (grabbed while in the checkout line at Fry's Electronics) bring up some memories. And... is that Pixie Stix? If so, the 60s through the 90s would like a word.
