What is The 2000s?
A decade where
Movies are just sequels, remakes, and Superhero type junk, but we do have some pretty decent stuff in the late 2000s.
The internet has turned into a haven for teenagers and young adults with Web 2.0
Anime is everywhere on the internet
People are not happy of what they got..they are spoiled rotten.
Rip-offs of previous decades in music and fashion. Everything from the 1930s-1990s, but with emphasis on 60s, 70s, and 80s.
The rise of emo and crunk/glam/dirty south rap
Indie freaks and scene kids all over the place...thank you MySpace and Purevolume
Clothes are basically a label on everything and you pay $90 for some jeans with holes in them.
It is cool to be a nerd with the geeky glasses and video games are awesome.
Everything is technology...no wonder why IT is in demand. To make software for 16 year old girls to "play" with their iPhone.
Disney pop and Hannah Montana all over the place.
To sum things up, the 2000s is a decade where everything is based on technology and spending money, causing the economy to go to hell. Then it is based on being hipster and retro because we can't afford or too lazy to think of something original and innovative.
2000s are boring. I think the 2010s will be a lot more original and interesting. The only thing that is "new" with the 2000s is the technology.
The 2000s - video
The 2000s - what is it?
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.
What does "The 2000s" mean?
Honestly a pretty overhated decade. It is a time where the internet and social media started getting more advanced and mainstream but weren't as prominent as they were during the 2010s decade. It was also a time where many famous events happened such as:
9/11, the War on Terror, the election of Barack Obama (the first black American president), the 2007-8 finanical crisis, the rise of many famous websites such as Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc., Saddam Hussein captured, the Y2K crisis, the release of many famous devices such as the iPod, Kindle, Blaclberry, Android, etc., and much, much more.
Then there's the media. Some are mixed about it but most consider the media to actually be pretty good. This was when many iconic movies, shows and video games came out.
Movies such as The Dark Knight, Shrek, Cast Away, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Monster's Inc., Finding Nemo, No Country For Old Men, and so on.
Shows such as The Office, The Sopranos, Doctor Who, SpongeBob SquarePants, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Malcolm in the Middle and so on.
Games such as God of War, Gradn Theft Auto: San Andreas, Half-Life 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Portal and so on.
The ironic thing is that those who grew up in the 2000s complained about them and said it was a terrible decade. Now as of this year they all look back on the 2000s and say they were a much simpler and fun time.
Person 1: Man I miss the 2000s. They were a much more innocent time don't you agree?
Person 2: Uh, if I can remember 10 years ago you told me that you hated growing up in the 2000s.
Person 1: Really? I said that years ago?
Person 2: Yep. Now it seems like you and everyone else who didn't like the decade are now starting to feel all nostalgic about it since you guys constantly complain abiut the 2010s.
Person 1: Huh. Well I guess you should never say it can't get worse. At first I thought last decade was bad, but then the 2010s came and it was a lot, lot worse. Besides, maybe I was too hard on the past decade (hey at least people weren't overly obsessed with the internet so much and they actually talked to each other in person without a phone).
The 2000s - what does it mean?
Basically the 1990s, but more commercialized, with much better technology and more conflict.
The decade of the hipster, indie rock, veganism, gay acceptance, and going "green".
The decade of the reality show, crappy television, the death of MTV, and the rise of emo.
The decade of constant crisis, which led to the evolution of the 24-hour news network.
The decade when we all realized that our entire lives depended on the internet.
(alt) The bastard child of 1980s fashion and 1990s ideas
2000s- Let's take all that's great from the 90s, commercialize it, and market it to everyone!
The 2000s - meaning
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.
The 2000s - definition
The year that almost everybody thought the world was going to end and all the computers would crash. But, of cource, none of this happened.
It's almost 2000, QUICK buy some spam, beans, and a shotgun!
The 2000s - slang
The good ol’ days now. 2000-2009. Some people still lump in the 2000s with the 2010s which is really annoying. No, Party Rock Anthem did not come out in the 2000s!! The early 2010s are not the 2000s. Donald Trump was just some rich TV personality, “fake news” wasn’t in people’s daily vocabulary, a snowflake was a thing that fell from the sky, and Facebook was only a site to connect with friends and nothing more. Some other things associated with the 2000s:

The 2000s were pretty great
The 2000s
The decade sitting between the 1990s and the 2010s (2000 to 2009).
A time where women would wear low-rise jeans and Paris Hilton’s famous catchphrase "That's hot" was just born. Spilling over into the new millennium Hip-Hop culture was thriving and it was MTV’s last wave of playing music videos. It the era of the flip phone and iPod while teenagers were roaming on MySpace and communicating through AIM as they illegally downloaded music. Reality TV was just getting started and Youtube was just introduced as it gained momentum.
The 2000s were the complete opposite of the 1990s in terms of fashion, music, and culture. It was a time where it was cool to be cool. A time where subtlety did not exist. Currently, the 00s is a forgotten decade that is soon to be classified as a part of nostalgia just like the 80s and 90s.
I miss the 2000s, it was the coolest time to be alive. The 2010s were nothing compared to it.
The 2000s
The era before everything else that was the peak of humanity. Even though it was covered in toxic people and somewhat lazy and creepy media, it was way more creative than these newer decades.
Ahhhh.... The 2000s... I wish the kids of today would see the effort people put into their stuff.
The 2000s
The last good decade before everything went to complete shit.
The 2000s were the last good decade.
