THE YEAR WE WENT DIGITAL
2000 is basically over and yeah...
it kinda felt like the start of something huge.
The world didn’t end, our computers didn’t explode, and suddenly everything was shiny, poppy, and weirdly futuristic ✨💿
Y2K panic? Who?
We were too busy syncing our CD players and bedazzling literally everything.
THE YEAR WE WENT FERAL
Fashion was futuristic and feral.
Silver pants. Sparkly tube tops. Iridescent accessories that made you look like a Bratz doll from the moon 🌙
Baby tees kept shrinking. Low-rise jeans kept sinking. And belly chains were suddenly back like it was ancient royalty.
Butterfly clips? In every hairstyle.
Tiny sunglasses? For no practical reason
If you weren’t dressed like a digital fairy princess from the year 3000, what were you even doing??
The mall was the runway.
Baby Phat. FUBU. Sean John. Wet Seal. Limited Too.
We weren’t just shopping. We were becoming.
THE YEAR OF CULT CLASSICS
Bring It On dropped and we all suddenly cared about spirit fingers and cheerleading rivalries 💅
Gabrielle Union ate. Kirsten Dunst served. That whole Toros vs. Clovers plot? Cinema.
Scary Movie made everything dumb, raunchy, and perfect.
It broke the rules and then set them on fire. Comedy hasn’t recovered since 🔥
X-Men quietly pulled up and said “we’re about to change superhero movies forever”
No one noticed. But the claws were out 🐾
It was camp. It was cool. It was the beginning of something big.
THE YEAR OF POP MUSIC
2000 was a teen pop tsunami 🌊
No Strings Attached broke records and hearts.
“Bye Bye Bye” had boys dancing like marionettes and girls losing their minds.
Britney was still on top.
She was giving schoolgirl-meets-superstar—and we were not worthy.
Meanwhile, Destiny’s Child dropped Independent Women and we suddenly needed a briefcase and a reason to leave a man 💼💋
Eminem dropped The Marshall Mathers LP and every parent panicked.
It was raw. It was reckless. It was everywhere.
OutKast and Nelly? Southern rap had its glow-up.
Country Grammar still hits.
If your CD binder wasn’t organized by mood—you were doing it wrong.
THE YEAR THAT MADE US GO CRAZY
The Sims let us play god—and we did.
Badly. With no bathrooms and mysterious pool drownings 💀
Digital suburban chaos became a lifestyle.
Reality TV hadn’t gone full beast mode yet, but Survivor lit the match.
Suddenly voting people off islands made sense???
(We were so not ready for what was coming.)
Apple dropped the first iPod in October.
1,000 songs in your pocket?? That was witchcraft.
Then came the Bush v. Gore election.
Hanging chads. Recounts. TV anchors spiraling.
It felt like Y2K all over again—but in the name of democracy 🇺🇸
THE YEAR WE WENT TO THE FUTURE
This year felt like the start of something unreal.
We dressed like holograms. Cried to Bye Bye Bye. Lived online, even when it took 5 minutes to connect.
Everything was shiny and awkward and loud—and we were obsessed
We didn’t know what was coming next.
But we had glitter, TRL, and our Sims peeing themselves in the living room.
Tomorrow is 2001 🌐✨
We don’t know what’s coming. But for now?
We’re living in a glittery digital dream—and it’s dial-up loud.
