What do you think would be the last year of the 2000s with a 90s influence?
Well even 2009 had some post-grunge bands and stuff, but I'd say 2006 is the latest year where the 90s still felt very recent as opposed to just "recent".
I know I already commented on this thread, but to me everything after 2005 has felt basically the same.
Maybe with time, the years between now and then will start feeling like something.
Yeah I sorta agree with you honestly. It's been about hipsters and social networking since then and photos from that time don't look dated to me. Then again 1996 didn't seem very dated in 2005 either.

THIS! Besides the advent of technology and all the cool gadgets of today, I don't feel like style has changed much. Hairstyles are largely the same as is fashion, even music hasn't changed THAT much since 2005 which was nearly 10 years ago now.
Luckily some important stuff has. Cars, gadgets, computers, gas prices, TV's, etc.

No, he meant 2005 was different, but 2006 and onwards feels the same to him. 2005 is definitely different from today, but a lot of trends that started in 2006 continued into the current decade. Mostly notably skinny jeans, as well as the wings haircut (although this is now finally out of style, but was still very much in last year). 2005 isn't any different from the early 2000s.
I think 2000-2005 were more similar to the 90s. When I see pictures from then, everything already seems horribly dated. 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 seem very similar to me. 2008 onwards in particular seems almost the same to now.
In our household, we had AOL dial up until 2005 or around then. We used VCR more than DVD until 2003 or 4. We used Motorola flip phones until 2005 or so. Fashion doesn't seem to have changed much but everything else has IMO.
I have cousins born 93-96 and think they were the last people to experience childhood before technology as we know it today completely immersed life. They are a word away from 13 year olds now, and are already losing interest in current trends.
If I wore clothing from then today, it would look perfectly normal. 2000 to 2003 is a bit dated, but not ridiculous. Clothing from the late 90's is different for sure, as is technology.
The biggest differences are social media, cellphones and things like Netflix and Hulu. I remember when everyone was on MySpace but only current college students had Facebook. FB was like a secret society for people born in the early to mid 80's. Despite the high level of customization on MySpace, FB was so much "cleaner", faster and easier to use. My friends and I always joked that FB would dominate if they ever opened it up to more people.

So more changed between 2005 and 2006 than between 2006 and 2014, right.
The 2000's had commonalties with both neighboring decades, which is true for any decade. But at the general end of the day, the 2000's were it's own unique decade.
The year 2000 was similar to the 1990's, while 2009 is closer to the 2010's. But I disagree to suggest that the decade was an extension of the 1990's, for example 2005 differed with 1997, eight years prior. The year had more in common with 2013, eight years later.
Decades tend to peak in the middle years, usually the years that end with 4-6. Right now we are in the peak of the 2010's, we may not realize it until later. The 2000's are culturally gone, and it is still far too early for the 2020's to rear it's head, we are knee deep in this decade and it's peak.
When I was a teen back in 2003-2005, I mistakenly thought we were still in the 90's culturally speaking. But looking back, it was it's own era. It was the Bush/9/11 era, etc.
Decades also tend to get their own character by the third year, the one that ends with a 2. You will find similarities with both decades, but the 2000's were the 2000's.
