Yes, they do; however, they don't have just one identity, they have others as well. I think that's partly the reason why the 2000s don't have as strong of an identity as the '50s-'90s. Maybe so, but one identity that the 2000s are well known for minimalism I think. People tried their best to be current and look out of place.

After looking through my photo albums in recent days, I've been able to identify certain fashion characteristics which are unique to the 2000s. It's interesting, because the "2000s" look never used to be as apparent just a few years ago. However, now that we're in 2018 and the 2000s are becoming increasingly removed from the present time, there are several trends/fads I have picked up on which are unmistakably 2000s. For instance, there's quite a lot of photos of me from 2001-2007 wearing long, baggy jeans (i'll post a few of them on here, if I remember). Skinny jeans have been more popular in the 2010s, so in terms of overall fashion, the photos of me from the 2000s look quite distinguishable from the present day. Then, of course, there's photos from the Early 2000s which show me wearing flannel shirts, like the one on this page. I know this is a completely random post, but I was thinking about this a short while ago and I had to jot down my thoughts.

They do have several characterics that some people just keep forgetting about, probably because they aren't the centerpiece of nostalgia yet, like 80s and 90s currently (although they clearly are starting to get there). Throughout the decade, there was a heavy focus on bling-bling, sparkles, maximalism and lots and lots of glosiness, all of them exemplified by the fashion, the music and the technology. I guess as a reaction to the more austere and symplistic 90s. Translated even in the emo and scene subcultures with their heavy focus on accesories, make-up and wacky haircuts. The escaspism of the decade was mostly in the form of looking up to popstars and dreams of stardom, leading to the creation of shows like MTV Cribbs, American Idol, X Factor and even stuff like Hannah Montana. I think this image perfectly captures the desired aesthetics of the noughties:

They certainly do have an identity. It was the era when the internet grew from something basic to the early version of today's social media. It was transitional. I associate fashion with preppy casual clothing, or black "alternative" clothing featuring flames, dragons, and chains. It was the time when reality TV really became a trend and still had some originality unlike the copycat shows about just anything we have now. It had a distinct party vibe and the most popular music was rap or alternative rock. The celebrity obsession really began to boom during this time. Don't forget it was also when owning a cell phone became trendy among the younger crowd, and the designs of these devices changed to appeal to them among other reasons.

The 2000s, the entire era was adolescent, young adult focused. Its probably the most experimental, fictional decade. The 2000s, you weren't supposed to take seriously, but you can still appreciate it.
Identity of the 2000s, new millennium, George W. Bush, club Hip Hop and emo. Its simple, really.
