Some of us are old enough to remember when the year 2000 was a benchmark for the promise of the future. And 2000 was a weird year, even if people weren’t zooming to work on jetpacks or eating hamburger pills for dinner. Not least of all, it seemed like January 1, 2000 would be the end of Western Civilization thanks to the Y2K bug.
Y2K never really hit, and we had to wait until November 2016 for the apocalypse, but 2000 was a very interesting year in all of our lives. So let’s turn back the clock to the days of boy bands, Tiger Woods and True Religion jeans and check in on what was big in 2000.
