The first year of the new millennium and the beginning of the 2000s. Basically just the 1990s and the last good, stable year. George Bush had no power yet, the Twin Towers were still standing, 2D graphics were still accepted, etc. The Y2K problem was finally over and practically no computers crashed.
2000 is the year we thought that computers would crash but it didn't.
America's last great year before its big wake-up call with 9/11. Also, final reign of Bill 'Pimp' Clinton and marks the dawn of the Sixth Generation Console Games; with PS2 out this year as well as DreamCast. Some noteworthy events include, but not limited to, Y2K, great movies (see Fight Club, American Beauty, Gladiator, Cast Away, X-Men). Unemployment was at its lowest in nearly 30 years in America during this time period (1999-2000). Culturally, fashion was the same with the late 90's and musically R@B and Post-Grunge began taking reigns on the radio charts.
Contrary to what most people think, 2000 isn't the start of the new millennium. It's really 2001.
The death of the 1990's =(. Also the year everyone went out and blew tons of cash on generators in suspicion of the world ending... idiots (in reference to same idiots of 6/6/2006 and future idiots of 12/21/2012).
Apocalyptic Idiot: Dude man, I coulda swore we were all goners when we hit the year 2000! It's definitely comin' in 2012... Me: You're a moron. I've got your apocalypse right here in my fists... Viva la 90's!
The year that people thought the world would end. The Y2K bug was a glitch that on the day it turned 2000, old computers would mistake it as the year 1900 (a LONG time ago). They fixed computers. Thought to be the start of the third millenium, but since there was no year zero, 2001 (a way better year, even if Burger King had veggie burgers in 2000) had to start it. 2000 only started the new century.
Interviewer: What were you doing in the year 2000? Me: I was working as a bank teller.

The year good music died. However a few rebels tried to write half decent songs which were listened to and enjoyed by many. Unfortunately the last one died early 2009. Now talentless cows can make it onto the radio with auto tune and lyrics about 'having sex at parties' or 'having sex in taxis' or even 'having sex in your parents bedroom.' Another way they get on the radio is singing about a thing called 'love.' And after listening to their songs, I'm not sure theirs such a thing anymore. Any person who attempts use his tactic to get on the radio has a range of 2 notes max, and always sounds like they're crying. And the final reason why good music is dead is what I'd like to call modern day pop.... No. Just no. God bless 80s and 90s pop music sensations.
Example 3. Dad: Why are you downloading 80s songs onto your i-pod? Smart Teenager: Because our modern suuuuuuuuuuucks!

Example 3. John: It's funny how people like Christina and Brittany are genuinely talented but are wasting it on songs with awful beats and lyrics Jess: Well that's the year 2000 for you.
