In this part of the series, we focus on the year 2002. What was the year 2002 like for you? What are your memories of it and what did you think of the pop culture at the time?
I was three years old in 2002. Using the 3-12 definition, this was the first year of my childhood.
My memories of 2002 are mostly vague, however I can remember some things quite clearly. Instead of typing up a long paragraph about what the year was like for me, i'm going to describe it in dot points:
* My Grandad built me a cubby house that year. It was actually quite big and it even had a slide at one end of it!
* Playing the PS1 was one of my favourite pastimes. My favourite games were "Stuart Little 2", "World's Scariest Police Chases" and "Runabout 2". With only being three at the time, my Mum had to set the console up for me each time I wanted to play it.
* I had a spiritual experience one night at my Dad's house. There was a spirit of a little boy who was haunting the place at the time. My Dad and his ex-partner had several encounters with him during the time that my Dad lived there in the Early 2000's. About twenty minutes after I went to bed one night, I was just laying in bed and I happened to saw my bedroom door creep open. It wasn't caused by any draft/wind, because my bedroom window was closed and so were the windows in the other rooms.
* There was an ad that aired on TV which showed a man trying to climb a brick wall (now that I think about it, it may have even been some sort of trailer for Spider-Man) and I used to try to imitate it by trying to climb up one of my bedroom walls.
I wish I could remember what the ad was for.
* I started to become aware of contemporary Top-40 music in Late 2002. At that time, I also started to take an interest in Hybrid Theory and my interest in Linkin Park was only consolidated when Meteora was released just two weeks after my 4th birthday, which was back in March 2003.
* I got a trampoline that year. The trampoline I had would be deemed unsafe by current standards, because it did not have safety nets.
* I have a reasonably clear memory from Early 2002 of scribbling in a drawing book and then seeing the 2001-02 Channel Nine endboard on TV.
