The world of 2000

I was starting to listen to music from the year 2000 and the world was a totally different world than it was today.  We did have a sense of optimism in the year 2000 and the world was entering a High...it was almost at the same level as it was in Camelot in the early 1960s.  But this high was just a preview of what I believe is going to come.

Now fast forward about 12 years in the future and the world is beginning to recover and get back on it's feet again.  I can see some optimism about the future and I think the world in general is starting to become optimistic.  We are in the same mania of the end of the world of 2012 as it was with Y2K in 1999; some people actually thought the year 2000 was it.  But the year 2000 has came and it came with a whimper, but a celebration and a period of optimism of the new millennium.

The last 12 years of the new millennium is probably just a wrap up of the 20th century.  9/11 was a start of a crisis that was emerging throughout the 1990s but we had our head up our butt and it could be easily prevented.  The same thing with the election of Barack Obama - we had this idea that Republican means war and crisis, and Democrat meaned the good times of the 1990s.  But now we are finding out that Democrat means war and crisis, and Republican means peace and prosperity, as it was in the 1980s with Reagon.  The 1990s Democrat era was not even truly Democrat but more down in the middle of the road.  The 1990s did not see the radical change as it was during the late 2000s and early 2010s.  The 1990s was not the most peaceful era out there and there was a nation and world falling apart.

But I am looking at the year 2000 and the year 2000 is a stepping stone to the world of tomorrow. The year 2000 was a preview of the next American High and I can see something like 2000 in the future, but advance.

The year 2000 was an era of boy bands, teen pop, low unemployment, even with teenagers, and it was a great year for pop culture.  I was only 9 years old in the year 2000 and it was a fun time to be a child.  But that time did not last that long and things seem to fall about 9/11.  Music and  movies were great that year, and pop culture in general.

But I notice something about 2000 that was unstable and it was morality.  It looks like we were undecided in a direction.  Some wanted a clean cut decade with the return of moral and family values, and gooey space age pop music, just like it was in 1960 and other just want to have  a slut, thug infested decade such as Britney Spears.  Britney Spears pretty much set the stage of the immoral 2000s decade.

But we are in the 2010s and I can see a moral comeback in the 21st century.  Family values are going to return, birth rates are going to increase, at home busines will become more the norm that working out - we are back to the picket fence once again.  I don't think we have truly approached the world of the new millennium yet but we are getting there, but I can the year 2012 might be the beginning of a new era - the true new millennium.
