The first year of the new millennium and the beginning of the 2000s.

Basically just the 1990s and the last good, stable year.

George Bush had no power yet, the Twin Towers were still standing, 2D graphics were still accepted, etc.

The Y2K problem was finally over and practically no computers crashed.

America's last great year before its big wake-up call with 9/11. Also, final reign of Bill 'Pimp' Clinton and marks the dawn of the Sixth Generation Console Games; with PS2 out this year as well as DreamCast. Some noteworthy events include, but not limited to, Y2K, great movies (see Fight Club, American Beauty, Gladiator, Cast Away, X-Men). Unemployment was at its lowest in nearly 30 years in America during this time period (1999-2000).

Culturally, fashion was the same with the late 90's and musically R@B and Post-Grunge began taking reigns on the radio charts.

The death of the 1990's =(.

Also the year everyone went out and blew tons of cash on generators in suspicion of the world ending... idiots (in reference to same idiots of 6/6/2006 and future idiots of 12/21/2012).

The year that people thought the world would end. The Y2K bug was a glitch that on the day it turned 2000, old computers would mistake it as the year 1900 (a LONG time ago). They fixed computers. Thought to be the start of the third millenium, but since there was no year zero, 2001 (a way better year, even if Burger King had veggie burgers in 2000) had to start it. 2000 only started the new century.

The year good music died. However a few rebels tried to write half decent songs which were listened to and enjoyed by many. Unfortunately the last one died early 2009.

Now talentless cows can make it onto the radio with auto tune and lyrics about 'having sex at parties' or 'having sex in taxis' or even 'having sex in your parents bedroom.'

Another way they get on the radio is singing about a thing called 'love.' And after listening to their songs, I'm not sure theirs such a thing anymore. Any person who attempts use his tactic to get on the radio has a range of 2 notes max, and always sounds like they're crying.

And the final reason why good music is dead is what I'd like to call modern day pop....
No. Just no.

God bless 80s and 90s pop music sensations.

a breakers variation of the 1990 where instead of spinning only on one hand you put your other hand over top of teh one spinning.

Almost 23 years ago. Feel old yet?

The last full year of the roaring 90's, even though some wise ass might point out that it's not literally in the 90's. It was the 90's generation still.

2000 was a year of hope and naive hope for the world to keep going the way it was.

And so it was, until, BOOM, 9/11 happens, we go until a war, the economy crumbles, there's mass shootings, kids become socially fucked up, and the world sucks.

I think all 90's kids will remember 2000 as the last year they can look back on and think "damn, what a time to be alive" It really was. 2000 was a time to be alive. We all naively hoped that the prosperity of the 90's would go on forever. But indeed they didn't, and the Roaring 20's should have taught us that prosperous generations usually come to a very abrupt end with no warning whatsoever. If we're ever lucky enough to live in a prosperous generation like that, just remember, enjoy it while it lasts, because it WILL end abruptly. We've learned that the hard way twice. First in 1929 and then in 2001.
