Fashion looks the same, language is the same, hell a lot of the pop culture references are still relevant. And look at the first episode of Last Of Us, the first half was set in 2003 but apart from an Atkins reference I can't think of anything that stuck out as being 20 years dated
When you compare decades in the 20th century they're all quite unique in many ways, but as soon as we got into the 21st century everything just seemed to mesh together

The same thing happened to me.
I was watching an old clip from one of those shows and someone made a reference to George W Bush and you could tell from context that it was a current reference from when the show was made. I ended up looking up the episode it came from, and it originally aired in 2007 or 2008. I never would have thought it was that old until the specific Bush reference was made.
