Y2K era makes me think a mixture of cyberpunk sci-fi and teen sex comedy.

American Wedding 40 Days 40 Nights The New Guy Van Wilder American Pie 2 even tho it came out in July 2001, feels like a post 9/11 movie, complete with pop punk soundtrack

I was thinking of Spy Kids and The Mummy when i said i associate Y2K with adventure movies Spy films experienced a resurgence of popularity in the early 2000s. Mission Impossible 2 was the highest grossing film of 2000, and Austin Powers and Spy Kids were very popular. This also infiltrated video games (GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid) and cartoons (Totally Spies, Kim Possible)

Possibly a product of 60s-70s nostalgia Much like how disaster movies, a defining film genre of the 70s, made a comeback in the late 90s

Much like how disaster movies, a defining film genre of the 70s, made a comeback in the late 90s Disaster movies stayed popular until the mid 10s i think Not really. 2000 at the most with the release of The Perfect Storm. They were released sporadically throughout the 2000s, with the most noteworthy being 2012, released in 2009, to capitalize on revitalized end-of-the-world fears regarding the Mayan Calendar. Other than that, they were really a short-lived fad. Between 1996 to 1998 they were everywhere, and I think part of why they were so popular, along with the obvious 70s nostalgia, and being able to take advantage of then-new CGI technology, was because of the end-of-the-world paranoia that characterized that era. After the Y2K bug came and went, other types of films gained popularity and defined the zeitgeist more (fantasy, teen comedy, spy). Historical epics also made a comeback in the 2000s starting with the release of Gladiator, and then continuing with films like Troy and the memed-to-death 300.

Yeah but they didn’t DOMINATE the box office the same way they did the late 90s. Independence Day, Volcano, Armageddon. FFS South Park parodied the trend in one of the first episodes. 2000s was more balanced for the most part.
