I think 2000 was one of the best years of this decade pop culturally. That year had a variety of music, ranging from hip-hop to alternative and hard rock, to techno and salsa. I also remember when everyone was saying "Whazuuuuuup!" What did you all think of that year?

I graduated from H.S. and registered to vote.  Therefore, it was good.

Yeah, I like 2000 alot too. My favorite year of the decade so far.

I personally didn't like this year much, particularly the 2000 election result but also because it was a difficult year for me schoolwise in the fall, in that I considered changing majors at that time. Otherwise, the culture was o.k., at least better than it is now. That was the year I was into pop punk and bought the NOW 4 CD. Also, 2000 doesn't feel like it was 6 years ago.

I thought 2000 was rather dull myself, but maybe that is because of personal events rather than pop culture. I was 23 and becoming an adult..not a prime age for pop culture which always seemed focused on those who were just a bit older and just a bit younger than me. New Year's Eve 1999/2000 was fun, but not the extreme bash I think most people growing up in the 20th century thought it would be.

2000 stunk in some ways (in the US, peak of teen pop, explosion of reality TV, late in the year the election controversy and the economy began to turn sour) but it was still probably the best year of this decade. It was the last year to have somewhat of a laid back 90's feel to it before the paranoid mindset of the 00's truly set in on 9/11/01.

I liked 2000, but I don't really care much about that year. It was a good year, but it's somewhat boring compared to other past years. But my favorite '00s year would be 2003. And yes, I remember staying up on New Years Eve night watching that ball drop into 2000.

That was the most dissapointing thing to happen in the year 2000. Everyone was waiting for the power to go out at exactly 12... but nothing.  :-\\

I was damn sick on new years eve/day Jan 1, 2000.  I didn't give a s*** about what may happen at the time either.

I was having an awesome time that year. I was 25, single and free with disposable income. Where's my Delorean time machine dammit?

As I like to say, 2000 was my favourite year of the 00s because it was the most '90s' year this decade.

Yeah, that's one reason its my favorite. I also prefer 2000 because I was still in middle school(8th grade), and I pretty much hated high school so it was the last 'enjoyable' school year I had. Also it was a really good year for me personally.

WEll, atleast it wasnt the end of the world >_>.  It was an exciting time for the world, we where entering a whole new era.  It was officialy the "future".  I guess it was ok. 

Best year of the 2000s no doubt.

This was the year I worked for the first time. I was a floral assembler. That was early in the year so I was 19. It wasn't the best job in the world but I did get paid good!

2000 was my first full year in my own house.

Y2K I went to meet someone from online to ring in the new year. Turned into a party (I’m not a partier). People drinking Zima with straws and getting crazy. Singing Dixie Chicks songs. They started getting suspicious thinking I was a cop. Eventually they said something like you got so much time to get outta here or my boyfriend is gonna kick your a$$ when he gets here. So I left, already barely staying awake at like 3am. Not sure exactly where I was but just kept heading east till I hit the highway. I learned that night that Y2K didn’t shut down things and my bank card filled up my tank to get me the 4 hours home.

Later on it was also the year I met who would become my kid’s mom. So it was both the best thing I ever did, and the worst.

This made me laugh!

2000 was the year of one of the most annoying fads, that I thought (and still think to this day) was quite entertaining. 

In 1998, a university student from British Columbia created a prank website featuring a series of animated gifs of hampsters, dancing while a sped up sample of the Roger Miller song Whistle Stop (that featured in the Walt Disney 1973 feature Robin Hood) played on repeat.  The goal was to see how many hits the website would get, and response was so grand, it evolved into a song called The Hampsterdance Song as credited to Hampton the Hampster and it peaked at #1 in Canada, #5 in Australia and #4 on the US Dance sales chart.  Response was so popular in Australia, that further singles released under the Hampton the Hampster name also charted
