The 2000s was easily one of the most iconic times for pop-culture. Most of us owe our childhood to this wonderful decade. It's very nostalgic to think about and look back on, but most of the time it just makes me laugh because everything was so simple yet so ridiculous. Here are some of the best things the 2000s had to offer:
1. The Music.
You probably had posters of Jesse McCartney and the Jonas Brothers covering the walls of your room, or maybe you had an emo phase and strictly listened to My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, and Panic! at The Disco (we've all been there). But the 2000s had some of the best music out there, whether they be one-hit wonders or artists that were just getting started.
2. The Movies.
From High School Musical to Camp Rock, we could thank Disney Channel for movies that we still love to this day. We had the "Harry Potter" series and "Twilight" that made people go absolutely crazy because of how good they were. "She's the Man", "Mean Girls", and many others were all our favorite movies at some point. Special shoutout to my favorite childhood movie, Hairspray.
3. The TV Shows.
"Drake and Josh", "iCarly", "Zoey 101", "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", etc. Need I say more?
4. The Fashion.
Looking back, it was kind of tragic. My outfit that made me think I looked like a model included a Bobby Jack t-shirt, plaid capris, and wedge flip flops. Oh and don't forget all of the army clothing, gaucho pants, and sequin purses from Limited Too. Not even kidding, the picture below is the exactly the kind of outfits I wore.
5. The Toys.
Barbie who? I had probably one Barbie doll, but way too many Bratz Dolls, Polly Pocket, and Webkinz. Every time I saw a commercial for a new toy I'd immediately want it and put it on my Christmas list, even if it was only June.
Aside from all the jokes, it's safe to say we all love and miss the 2000s. We can thank the decade for an amazing childhood and also for allowing us to memorize every song in High School Musical 1, 2, and 3.
