      People were way more real , and movements weather It was music , sexual orientation , fashion , personality were all more genuine because we didn't have a cheat sheet of being connected through the Internet and easily being able to mimic and follow what everyone else does. Life still had genuine discovery and equally respectful , creative , and divided scenes , basically everyone did their own thing and couldn't fake It like most do now just to fit In. People are more self conscious because with technology there's nothing left to wonder about at all , and people habitually compare themselves to everyone else. Humans have a natural desire for companionship , and seeing what we can't be like or want to have only depresses us more or makes us hide behind what we think the world wants to see. I believe the entire 80's to the early 90's were the peak of American life , entertainment wise.

    It's a sad day indeed when you have to say goodbye to the 90's for the second time in your life. It was a decade in which I started as a child and ended as an adult. I knew that I was officially an adult because 99 was the first year that I disliked the current pop culture and used phrases like, "Back in my day" -- And as the fires burned at Woodstock I soldiered into adult life with an old man grimace on my disapproving face. Now, in 2021, hello midlife crisis. Ahh, the joys of life 😐

    I was 11 in 1999. One of my fondest memories of the year was that before school let off for winter break, we had a party with holiday treats and made stocking stuffers for our parents. This was back when classrooms could have multi-faith or even generic winter holiday parties without the "War on Christmas" or atheist Karens complaining, and ours was great: There were Christmas cookies and fudge, one kid who was Jewish brought latkes and applesauce, we all had a fantastic time.
    And those stocking stuffers? We made "Y2K bugs" out of pipe cleaners, with little wooden balls for the heads. I have this vivid memory of sitting at my desk and very carefully drawing a smiley face on my bug's head, and I was so proud of myself because I'm not much of an artist but I got it just right!

    Y2K was such overhyped hysteria. I remember that New Year's Eve, my father and I went to a local grocery store to buy a few items for New Year's dinner. We parked in the last parking space. When we entered the store, it was mass pandemonium! People frantically buying gallons of water, toilet paper, and canned goods. It was very reminiscent to what happened in the initial stage of the pandemic. I was 20 at the time, but I knew that nothing was going to happen.

      Nothing big happened from Y2K simply because they fixed the major problems in time. There would have been problems if they hadn't realized it was a big deal and rushed to fixed things. The reason people were still nervous was because there was some uncertainty as to whether or not there were remaining bugs in systems that hadn't been found. It turned out that they did a really good job of hunting down and fixing enough of the bugs before the clock rolled over.

      Days before it turned year 2000, my husband told me that he knew a guy that bought guns for when year 2000 comes. The guy told my husband that it was going to be the end of the world and that everyone was going to go crazy and there would be shootings and vandalism and he was going to protect himself. That it was going to be every man for himself. 😂
      He’s not the only one that I heard about doing that. People said that they were going to get guns and start shooting in the streets. CRAZY!!!

    Thank you Weird History for this great video. I can't wait until you guys do the 2000s. And by the way, the 20th century actually ended in 2000, not 1999. 2001 was the true start of the 21st century. It's a common misconception.

    The thing i miss the most from those times were my friends.
    Thats what people need the most in life.
    That connection to other people which is in essence heaven.
    Today my group of friends is much smaller but its better than nothing i guess.
    A lot of people have no friends.

    Well done for completing Timeline: '90s. As we finish the last year of the 2nd millenium, like I said before, *"Are you ready to party like it's 1999?"* Also, I'm looking forward if you can do Timeline: 2021 for Christmas and Timeline: 2000s for next year and for opening the 3rd millenium.

      Well 1999 woudnt be the last year of the 2nd millennium that would be the following year 2000. As the year 2000 was the 1000th and final year of the second millennium which started on Jan 1 1001. 1999 would be the last year of the 1990s decade but not the 20th century or the 2nd millennium till 2000.

      I'm surprised and happy that Weird History announced to do Timeline: '70s. What are your predictions of that video topic? The '70s was a thrilling decade when we saw the rise of disco and some movies. Is there more aside from those?

    Rewatching all the timelines! When is the next season coming out? I can't get enough of this series! It reminds me of the old series on VH1, the I love the '80s, I love the '90s, I love the '70s, etc... I used to love watching that show. Now watching this one brings back a lot of memories growing up, born in 1984.
