What do you think? Is '03 more like the Y2Kness of '99 or the "dark and digital" '07.
Personally I think it's more like 1999, since it had similar fashion and technology.
Politically it was a lot more like 2007 being post-9/11 and with Bush being the president, neither apply for 1999.
Music-wise (hip hop) it was in the middle, Jay-Z was still in his prime in 2003 but crunk music was in it's peak before evolving into snap which faded in 2007. 50 Cent, who debuted in early 2003, also lost a streaming battle to Kanye West (who's first album didn't debut until early 2004) in late 2007.
Let's discuss.

2003 doesn’t lean strongly to both years but I would give it a slight edge towards 1999.
MySpace was released in 2003 but it really didn’t take off yet and it was still a pre-social media year. Musically, it was in the middle. This was the last year nu-metal was popular. Skater pop punk had more popularity than emo pop. Many R&B songs in 2003 would fit in 1999. However, crunk was all the rage in 2003 and 50 Cent debuted in 2003.
Politically, it was more like 2007 like you said. Fashion wise, boys still had spiky hair, but surfer hair was gaining traction with many boys. Girls fashion in 2003 looks slightly the same from 1999 except their hair had more highlighted streaks and more straight like Avril Lavigne.

2003 leans on neither
2007 is the closet it gets because of Bush and the fashion having the same DNA, much of the same DNA in 2003 was in 2007
despite ps3,xbox 360 and wii taking over for games. TV for the most part was the same (even tho 2007 is when most of those shows would be canceled)
50 Cent was big in 2003 and started falling of around 2006/2007.

Yeah, there should be a vote on neither. It doesn't have the strong Y2K traces of 1999 and traces of the "dark and digital" vibe of 2007.

1999. It was the last year Y2K-era bubblegum-pop was still on the charts, largely due to the continued success of Atomic Kitten and S Club. Myspace may have been created in August that year, but otherwise, both 1999 and 2003 were pre-social media and pre-smartphone worlds. Pop-punk was popular during both 1999 and 2003, whereas it was completely out of the Top-40 by 2007.
