It seems so, I don’t know why. Like Y2K was the only thing freaky getting into another fucking millennium
On nothing but a person level 98- 2010 where such a great time in my life.
Counterpoint:
Credit based on what? It isn’t like there is a trophy for “year of the years” award.
“It isn’t as appreciated as other years, in terns of subjective relevance”
1999 is widely considered a huge year for films.
Well I subjectively remember 1999 better than 2000. So…
Me too. Especially new year’s eve 1999.
Although that’s technically both
3/4 cars I’ve owned (all bought after 2010) have been 1999, the other being a '94. I’m still driving one of them. If I’m going to own a car, it’s my preferred year. The best of computer tech and mechanical simplicity.
1994 Honda Accord 1999 Chevy Malibu 1999 Toyota 4Runner 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ
Not that anything I’ve owned has been super special, just what a good fuckin’ year, man.
Year 2000 wasn’t a new millennium, 2001 was.
Thanks to a monk forgetting the year “zero” a long time ago, or so I heard.
From a US perspective, some civil rights improved after 1999 (such as gay marriage), though I guess some civil rights were weakened (privacy after 9/11). All improvements are being rapidly rolled back now though. Societally, I think homosexuality is more accepted now; not sure about transgendered people. I think there’s less racism now, not sure (I lived in a very rural area back then, and now live in a large city, so IDK). Housing was more affordable. I don’t think anti-intellectualism was as widespread. There was less acceptance of authoritarianism. Technology has definitely advanced, but slower than I would have imagined. Climate has changed more rapidly than I would’ve expected.
IDK, a lot of people seem to talk about the Bizarre Summer.
What do you mean? It’s 95 plus 4 pennies
