Nelly Furtado's debut single released in 2000, became a hit in 2001. Do you think the song sounds more of the 90s or the 2000s?

Exactly. y2k slowly fading and transitioning to the early 2000s. Pretty much mid 2000 to early 2001.

There's hardly anything 90s about it. Easily one of the most progressive pop songs of 2000.

I would once again say specifically Y2K. This song is sort of my image of the Y2K era distilled down to its essence (along with It Wasn't Me  ).

Man that school year was boring ! lol I strong prefer 1998/1999, summer 1999 and 1999-2000 to 2000/2001. That year felt like a step down from the pure Y2K era. We aren’t remembering all of it but I felt a lot of the music was it’s it’s worst. MTV was playing the same annoying r&b videos over and over and pop culture felt stale and emptier. 2002 was a upgrade

Yes exactly it lacked soul and there something really manufactured about that year, almost in a 2005-2006 kind of way, and I think it gets lumped up with Y2k era but has more more in common with the early 2000s, even the rest of early 2000s felt like improved versions of 2000-2001 period. When I think of 2000-2001 I think of tacky nike shoes, frat boys being a cool thing, Eminem wannabes, who let the dogs out, generic PlayStation and PC games and over saturation and insane repetition of mediocre pop, nu metal, r&b and electronica. So whatever was semi cringe in 1998 to early 2000 just got multiplied and became super mainstream by mid 2000-mid 2001. There are definitely some things are are good or okay about then it’s not black and white but i just think we forget some of the year.

Something felt incomplete about 2000-2001. Its like a lot of things weren't there yet or were stale and then on top people were holding or literally pretending to be into tacky shit because there was nothing else around and there wasn't much going on. I felt the exact same way about 2005-2006.

I felt the exact same way about 2005-2006. I have said this story before and I will bring it up again, so for the 2000-2001 school year I was placed in a 7th grade Bad Girls school 2 towns away, they told me when I finish this 7th grade bad girls school (which felt like a prison btw) I can resume 8th grade at my NORMAL school where I knew everyone, so can you imagine every day of the 2000-2001 school year was me counting down to 8th grade for the 2001-2002 school year, you have no idea how much of an upgrade it was LOL Music, Games, TV etc etc and......when I came back for 8th grade everyone hit puberty and sounded different. I don't care what anyone says, the 2000-2001 school year was STALE AF, DRY like Canada dry soda. Most of my time was spent roaming the halls bored out of my damn mind to past time, at one point I left class and walked to Toys R us and chilled there for 2 hours because of how bored I was. That school was big so sometimes I would just walk into random classes and chill for 15 min... I am serious it was THAT boring... When I see things like Game boy color or the Shrek book covers they were giving out I just remind myself of that time where I was bored out of my mind. The movies of Summer 2001 were amazing and held me over but TV in Summer 2001......omg could Cartoon Network play anymore Dragon Ball Z Reruns...... MTV with its WWF Tough Enough reruns every 30 min..............it seemed like every channel ran out of episodes to show or something. I went crazy. It was obvious they were holding back for the fall season.

It was obvious they were holding back for the fall season. When I think of mid 2000 to mid 2001 I think the most iconic thing are scooters, hawain shirts, "the real slim shady" just really bad TRL dance party music, cheesy limp bizkit videos and pretty much tons of things from the Y2K era were getting worse. I think school/university culture was better in the 90s and the Y2k era to some extent and probably the 2010s. I think there was some part of the 2000s that promoted fakeness and emphasis on popularity, that the 90s and the current era didn't have in the same way.
