The 20s don't feel as futuristic as the name sounds

  Not as removed as 2019 feels in 2022 but pretty close, reasons why below

-  Ozzy Osborne is back in the spotlight with his new reality show     
- Pokemon fad had been over for over a year at that point
-  Von Dutch catches on
-  TGIF on abc is no more
- Sega is no more as a sole console company
-  Spider-Man revitalizes the super hero movie genre
-  Mini Garage rock fad  ( The Strokes,  The White stripes)
- Bling fashion starts creeping in
-  American Idol becomes a sensation
- Apple stores become more common place
- Windows XP had been out for a year and is a hit
- Micheal Jordan who announced he was retired in 1999 starts playing games as a Wizard in the 2001-2002 season

So yes it did feel like a big departure from 1999 lol, so much stuff happened in  late 2001 - 2002

When I thought of the 20s back in the 00s and 10s I thought things would be way more futuristic and we'd have things like electric vehicles, google glass, 3D printers, etc all being common. General architecture being much more futuristic looking. Instead the tech of today is basically just super sleek and efficient versions of tech that blew up in the 00s and early 10s. It feels weird saying the year is 2022 when it doesn't feel futuristic. 

Did all that stuff happen before January 2002?
