I wanna be bad by Willa Ford was pretty much one of the last Y2K-sounding songs to be released in 2001, but it's a hybrid between Y2K and Early 2000s because it is adult pop, but it sounds like teen pop/pop R&B at the same time, which I find kinda funny.

Indeed it is a hybrid Something I want to add is in late August alot of y2k songs were being played briefly because the VMAS were coming up in a few days so they were recapping songs of the year. Most of them being VMA nominee songs. So if you heard any of that on the radio at the time it was not reflective of the era but rather VMA hype. After the VMAs aired they had no need to play those older sounding songs.

I like the photo with the guy hooking up the PS2 photo with the N64 controllers on the shelf, it really highlights the transition from 5th to 6th gen. All I think when I see that photo is how much back strain it must have been moving that TV! That has got to be the biggest CRT screen set I’ve ever seen! Look like one of those Sony WEGA TVs that were a thing for a few years just right before HDTV really became affordable.

I think my sister was conceived this month. I was only 3 years old. August 2001 was the calm before the storm but slightly less boring then the rest of the summer

August 2001 was the calm before the storm but slightly less boring then the rest of the summer Yeah, there was a shift in September 2001 that changed the world forever. The coolest bitch on earth was conceived, and the world has never been the same since. By June 3rd, 2002, the shift was officially 100% complete.

August 2001 was the calm before the storm but slightly less boring then the rest of the summer I guess I didn't miss much. I was watching cartoons, going to daycare and just being a toddler.  Summer 2001 was slow and boring you didn't miss much, the economy was in a small recession

Summer 2001 was slow and boring you didn't miss much, the economy was in a small recession Was the recession even noticeable like the 2008 one? I was barely aware it was going on, mind you I was in 8th grade as Fall 2001 kicked off. I think in the summer of 2001 it made things go by a little bit slower but it was 0/10 in scale of 2008's recession. By the time we got to early 2003 it was gone. An afterthought.

I was 13 years old in 8th grade during fall 2011 around the time of 9/11 decade anniversary. It was surreal watching a documentary of it. I remember cost of living & gas was cheap in the early 2000s. I was shocked to see $2 gas at my local 76 gas station for the first time in August 2005 when I was 7 years old. 😳 Off topic, but strange how Britney was relevant in 2001 & 2011. Britney was EVERYWHERE in 2001 and 2002, she was in Pepsi ads, MOVIES (Crossroads) Music videos u name it, she did get blacklisted by the radio for doing a shady tour deal but it did not stop her MV from being played on MTV and MTV 2 and this is when those channels had influence on pop culture. She kind of reinvented herself to give her a more mature less teen pop image. I think in 2020 tho her relevance is almost gone tbh.
