1994 is when the internet first started getting mainstream attention (such as on the news) and also the year when it became commercial but, it wasn't a common household appliance/everyday thing until 1998ish.

Yeah.I would say between mid 1998 to late 1999 would be the period. To lesser extent early 2000. Broader scope of 1997 to 2001/02 makes sense as well. Since after 94-96 there was a huge surge of people who got it and were actively using it around 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 and there were still tons of people who didn’t get properly get it or frequent it until 2000-02/03ish But it definitely was a mainstream thing ongoing thing for millions between 1994, 1993 to a certain extent and 1995-mid 1997.

Unquestionably 2006. Tech-wise, things like cellphones, CGI and the internet were a lot more widespread in the year 2000 compared to 6 years prior. Fashion-wise, low-rise jeans and the bubblier 2000s fashion were already taking over in 2000, a far cry from the earthy and grungy fashion of 1994. And if you look closely some of the more gothic fashion in 2000 seemed to already predict the later ubiquitous emo movement in 2006. Music-wise, 1994 was full-on R&B ballads, eurodance, grunge and west/east coast feud-era rap, while 2000 was dance-R&b, trance, post-grunge and materialistic bling rap. 2006 was practically a continuation of all four. The only major thing that brings 2000 closer to 1994 would be 9/11 and the ensuing political events not being a thing yet really. But the controversial election of Dubya was already a reality in 2000, just like Trump was in 2016. I know this is quite an old thread but, I've been scrolling through these old threads out of boredom lol. Coming back here, yeah I agree. Waaaaay more like 2006 actually. 2000 and 2006 look in the same decade and it definitely felt like the same decade at the time. 1994 and 2000 didn't feel like that at all on the other hand. You've already stated reasons why 2000 is more like 2006, so I am not getting into that. The only part of 2000 that felt unchanged from 1994 was the politics (being both Clinton years and before 9/11). I only said it was a tie before because, I was getting my opinion skewed by the poll. The whole "early 2000s was an extension of the 90s" thing gets taken a bit too far. Honestly, the early 2000s only felt similar to the late 90s and that was it. Most of the changes of the 2000s took place in the latter half of the decade too (2005 - 2009).

2006, I'm not even sure how this is debated.
