It felt like an apex of the y2k era until around April/May when things started cooling off and ended around August.
Few key things about the 2000-2001 year

. WWF was falling off around Survior Series 2000, WWF moved from USA to TNN and started becoming slowly less popular due to the change
. WWF buying WCW and a stupid invasion angle killed off almost all popularity wrestling had
. Sega announced it was bowing out of the video game console market, it pissed me off and everyone pretty much was done with Sega
. Y2k metallic fashion was still popular until around July
. Spiked hair was at its apex
. Teen pop started becoming uncool around Feb and totally died off around Aug
. No one had Playstation 2 yet, not until around  Fall 2001 when more consoles were being produced
.  Final year Digimon had popularity
. Pokemon falls off around October 2000 right after Silver is released

It was about then two Pokemon movie were released, and both were dire.

What do you define as the apex of the Y2K era?

I guess 1999-2000 is the apex of the Y2K era.

Apex was September 2000 when it was at its highest

WWF still popular, Boy Bands still popular with no backlash, PS2 hadn't been released
& Sega was still a console company, ABC TGIF was still on the air that month.


Somewhere between September 2000- August 2001 it would fade by every month
The Y2k feeling was gone a few weeks even before 9/11 happened.



August 2001 was kind of a boring month, it was wait & see, everyone was anticipating going back to school.

Same. I Think it just gets completely overlooked by the events and pop cultural changes of the 2001-2002 year.

Living in the 2000-2001 it just felt like the y2k era was waning, there was nothing really noteworthy about that school year,
Just ps2 releasing, Sega ending WCW going out of business

The 2001-2002 year (my favorite for the 00) is when pop culture got smacked in the face with everything , 01-02 was
such an eventful school year for the wrong and right reasons.


could also be why late 1997 is my favorite school year as well, both 97 and 01 both had that new feel

This is a photograph taken just a month before the Twin Towers attacks in Manhattan.
The music video for Ryan Adams' "New York, New York" was filmed four days before the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. As a result, a message was placed at the end of the video, dedicating it to those who lost their lives, and to "those who worked to save them". Profits from the video were donated to a September 11 charity.

August 2001 was so damn slow, I think because of the pop culture turbulence we would see in the next month made August 2001 way 2 calm.
Things felt so SLOWWWW that month.

Your atmosphere threads are pretty lacking on the kid's fashion pics. Fortunately I'm volunteering to make up for it. So here's me in August 2001 8)

Give it some thought but you don't have to post the photos of the Twin Towers, just post some other photos instead.
