>>130495140 as far as mainstream shit goes? enema of the state chronic 2001 battle of LA significant other baby one more time aaliyah s/t slim shady I was mega young back then and I loved hybrid theory but these are all on par for representing mainstream Y2K music IMO. Hybrid Theory gets some extra points for me just because the rap-metal/nu-metal thing was such a short lived moment centered around 2000 but culturally I feel like enema of the state, slim shady, and significant other had a bigger impact
Hybrid Theory came out after New Years 2000. Y2K was a thing for like 3 years before that but it really fizzled out pretty quickly after that. Better choices:
>TLC - Fanmail >Korn - Follow The Leader >Limp Bizkit - Significant Other >Britney Spears - Baby One More Time >Backstreet Boys - Millenium
>>130495498 Doesn't matter. The sound and fashion didn't just stop as soon as the year 2000 rolled around, plenty of artists and even other forms of media continued using the Y2K sound and aesthetic, the style continued to evolve well into the late 2000s.
>>130495140 >>130495297 Chocolate Starfish and Follow the Leader. Linkin Park were around in 2000 but didn't really get huge until 01 and despite dressing the way they did LP were more associated with 03 onwards
>>130495140 Linkin park feels more like mid to late 00's to me because of all the YouTube amvs and Myspace/Neopets/other social media pages using their songs everywhere, Limp Bizkit, P.O.D and SOAD to me defined the the very early 00's nu metal zeitgeist.
>>130506061 >turns out the greatest hits album was radio edits lmao well shit, there ya go godspeed anon, hopefully you get to enjoy them https://archive.org/details/1998-fatboy-slim-youve-come-a-long-way-baby/04+Gangster+Tripping.flac
>>130502598 Just in terms of music. Avril Lavigne was the whole package. Britney dressed and acted like a distillation of the era. Avril Lavigne set goddamn trends.
>>130495140 Well, the Frutiger aero high dance millennium sound/aesthetic was undoubtedly on ATC's Planet Pop Album. Around the World (La La La La La) is one of the few CDs I still own from back in the day that I paid full retail for.
>>130495209 I was 18 in 2000, mostly liked 80s hardcore, grunge, stoner rock and post-hardcore a lot. mainstream shit I hated, especially Stinkin Park.
I seem to remember a lot of 70's revival shit around the late 90's/early 2000's. Lots of funk and weird disco pop. Afros were peak hilarity. It was pretty cringe.
Honestly? For me personally as a fat Salvadoran kid living in California, I was loving the Deftones. The first three records were constantly on repeat for me during that time. I have a lot of important core memories related to those albums, that being said Korn, limp bisquit and coal chamber were way more popular and probably more representative of the Nu metal era, those were the flagship bands. Slipknot were a bit later, they didn’t hit till 99. I remember that vividly, it was only like two months after Columbine, about a month before Woodstock 99. My buddy and I were at the mall, he bought the CD, it might have been at hot topic. Slipknot were huge overnight, extremely popular in 2000 as well, and 2001.
