I think it really began hitting me that it was the year 2000 and the 90s were over in spring 2000 when the weather got warm and the school year was winding down. I was 13 and in 8th grade so I remember this time clearly. 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite was a big 2000 song so I have to go with that.
Basically, 2000 is a watered down 1999.
I suppose you can say that to some degree but the year 2000 was in the process of forming its own identity without fully letting go of the 90s. The year 2000 still had some of the aspects of 1999 to remind me of the good ol' times and it was as if there was some kind of force that was sweeping and cleaning up the year 1999 and every sign that there was even such a thing as the 90s as everything around you slowly began to change into something different. The media, music, movies, games, fashion, cars, etc. Everything that reminded everyone of the 90s was swept away as if nothing had ever happened. To me it was strange because it was as if I partied all through the 90s in my childhood through all the 90s pop culture and I was totally absorbed into everything I could find. I enjoyed the 90s experience a little too much to the point that if I wasn't doing something fun then I would totally space out. I always needed that next fix and until I knew it was coming I would totally disassociate myself from reality and go into my own world. Once 2000 came around it seemed like a totally different world to me that I didn't recognize from my childhood. It definitely had a psychological impact on me maybe how say if someone from the 80s suddenly woke up in the 90s. It would be a huge shock to them with the sudden shift of perceptive reality. That's how I felt and I felt like I had already experienced different lifetimes all throughout my childhood life as I grew, got older and experienced so many things. If I died in the 90s as a kid I think I still would have lived a great and full life. The 2000s and beyond just became a pointless drag where I totally lost a sense of self as I would totally disassociate myself from everything around me through high school and even college. As far as I'm concerned this is the afterlife and it sucks. My real life was in the 90s.
