The decade of the 2000s was an interesting time. The world had just gotten over the Y2K scare and post-millennium party hangovers, and people were trying to scrape together a new culture. The internet then wasn’t quite where it is today but it was getting there. The 1990s were over, that was very much clear. In its place was a new digital world with different trends and fads. It’s a time millennials remember well but everyone else seems to have trouble remembering.
For Generation X, the 2000s were basically some additional years in the nineties before being forced to get jobs and pay bills. Baby boomers stopped paying attention to current trends decades earlier and Generation Z had no ability to form memories yet.
The '00s was all about millennials and if you are one yourself, then you might be able to score perfectly on this test. Anyone else is unlikely to pass it. There is only one way to find out how well you can score and that’s to give this quiz your best shot.
