Define Early 2000 Meaning

Usually considered an extension of the 1990's for American culture. Pretty much had the same feel of the past decade, but with a lot of political and economical trouble.

Many music stars and bands who were popular in the mid-late 90's continued their popularity, with some new emerging stars who sung in the same style. The boyband fad died in 2002, with the end of NSYNC and the hiatus of the Backstreet Boys.

Many popular shows from the late 90's continued or aired in reruns through the period. Reality TV was popular, but it wasn't usually scripted. Anime dominated the animation scene. In addition, 90's shows, which were either running or in reruns, remained popular. Adult cartoons became popular.

Politically, the early 00s was overall a horrendous time. Bush was inaugurated in 2001, followed by the 9/11 and anthrax attacks and the War on Terror later that year. The Iraq war in 2003.

The economy wasn't doing too well. The dot-com Bubble burst in 2000, leading to a recession in the 2001-2002 years, though it wasn't as bad as the late 2000s or 1930s recession.

Video games systems included the original Playstation, the PS2, Xbox 1, Dreamcast, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advanced. Online gaming started to become popular. 2D gaming was accepted for the portable systems, and portable remakes of many 80's and 90's classics. Home consoles usually had 3D games, but there were compilations of classic 2D games.

It wasn't perfect, but many are starting to reminisce on the time today.

2000-2003/4 (depending on who you ask)

Someone born from 1994-1998. Meaning they turned 5-9 before 2004. Generally these people are on the cusp of both Millennials (1994-1996) and Gen Z (1997-1998) and are confused what generation they fit in. Reason being that they experienced both cultural trends leftover of the 90's and new trends from the 2000's growing up. Another term for this group is called Zillenials

Like 90s kids, they actually know what a VHS is, and grew up with kids shows of the 90s and 2000s. Generally born between 1997 and 2002.

The best generation of people ever best generation people ever.

Pretty much either golden for nostalgia, or downright stupid. You would get home from school or whatever and watch some show on your huge TV. Not the flat, tall ones, the ones that have pretty small screens and a back wider than your pp will ever be.
