early 2000s
The early 2000s was the start of the decade, but it still smelled like the 90s. Everyone still wore bleached hair, had slaps bracelets, and still believed in Pokémon.
My friend still uses the same GameBoy Color I had in 2001.
I had a Furbby that would not shut up.
My dog still thinks the PS2 is the best thing in the world.
