Things the 90s and 00s share in common

-the internet rising in popularity in both decades before becoming heavily ingrained in our society like in the 2010s, but still existing unlike in the 1980s
-both are part of the transition of the 20th century to the 21st century (or from the analog age to the digital age), which is said to be 1991-2008, so pretty much the 90s and 00s
-similar politics (both a mix it liberal and conservative)
-casual fashion very similar in both decades
-both decades share a lot of the same tv shows or music artists (a lot of decades do but still)
-both have a “normal” or “regular” feel or vibe to them
-music from both decades (mainly the second half of the 90s and first half of the 00s) didn’t sound too foreign from each other, although there were differences


the 90s and 00s are different in a lot of cultural ways, but they are more similar to each other than the 80s are to the 90s or the 00s are to the 10s. Just like how the last year of a decade is similar to the first year of the next, the last decade of the 20th century is quite similar to the first decade of the 21st century

I also feel the 90s and 00s were more politically stable compared to most other decades. 90s more so, but the 00s were more stable than the 10s.
You could make a case for the 80s but that decade had lots of Cold War tension. I just feel outside things like Y2K, there wasn’t this whole “end of the world” paranoia like there was back then, or what we’d later see today with things like COVID, Ukraine, and climate change.
