REMEMBER 2001

The first year of the 21st century and 3rd millennium saw the beginning of many big budget film franchises. Peter Jackson brought J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Middle-earth to life with the first Lord of the Rings film, just as we were brought to Hogwarts for the very first time in the first Harry Potter film. The Fast and the Furious raced into theaters, Ocean's Eleven first formed, and everyone's favorite memetastic green ogre, Shrek, hit the big screen. Wes Anderson introduced us to the Royal Tenenbaums, just as Derek Zoolander hit the runway.
In the world of television, reality television grew even bigger, with the massive success of Survivor's second season, set in the Australian Outback, the first Amazing Race, and The Mole. Fear Factor tested in what ways people were able to face their fears in order to earn $50,000. Scrubs brought us to the medical floor, 24 broke ground by following the unconventional format of a real-time narrative (each 1 hour episode would take place over the course of an hour). Smallville showed us the life of Clark Kent before he donned the red cape, and Star Trek: Enterprise brought us to the past, many years before the adventures of Kirk's Enterprise crew. In the world of animation, Samurai Jack, The Fairly OddParents, The Proud Family, Justice League, and the too-soon cancelled Invader Zim proved to be heavy hitters, spawning quite the dedicated fanbases.
2001 was one of the biggest years for video games as well. Sony's PlayStation 2 really hit its stride, with hits such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Jak & Daxter, Final Fantasy X, and Grand Theft Auto III, the last of which ditched the arcade-style gameplay of past titles and adopted the groundbreaking open-world gameplay system. Nintendo released their last few titles on the Nintendo 64, including Mario Party 3, Paper Mario, and the crude and raunchy Conker's Bad Fur Day, showing that the N64 wasn't just for kids. Nintendo soon released their successor console, the GameCube, with Luigi's Mansion, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II, and Super Monkey Ball. Two weeks later, they released Pikmin and Super Smash Bros. Melee, the latter of which proved to be the console's most successful title, spawning a competitive gaming community which is still very active to this day. Meanwhile, SEGA dropped out of the console market for good and went third-party, but not before going out with a bang with Sonic Adventure 2. Microsoft soon took their place when they released their first home console, the original Xbox, with Halo, which proved to be a massive success and made first-person-shooters the dominant genre during much of the 2000s.
And then there was the day that defined the millennial generation. September 11 started out like any normal day, until Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four airplanes, flying them into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. In response, the United States invaded Afghanistan to counter Al-Qaeda, commencing the war on terror. With increased security and defense to prevent a similar situation from ever happening again, the world would never be the same after that fateful day.
And there you have it, my final REMEMBER video. It has been a good run, but my time has come to move on to other ventures. So sit back, relax, and enjoy one last nostalgia trip to the year 2001!

And the u.s. over the past decade has been losing it's place as the most freedom country ever or something like that because look at the country's in Europe. It looks like they're ahead of us at the moment. So this is to keep in mind that the u.s is not the whole world and even if the attacks on 9/11 were really tragic on the 1st year of the 21st century and 3rd millennium (might as well add in first decade of the 21st century or 201st decade as well even though the 2000's and it's own century and millennium started more then a year earlier) and affects where we are today even then compared to what's happened before and after the attacks especially in other country's like the middle east that's like nothing compared to what has happened since.

Absolutely! 2001 felt like 1997-1999. After 9/11 the feel of that era was gone

[@LoveBaseballLove]

What a massive year for pop punk and alt rock. Up until this year I was a rock fan but also very much into boybands and this year solidified the end of the 90's boyband craze and the beginning of my teen angst years. I still bump Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and All Killer No Filler regularly 🤘

2001 was the peak for me. I was in 7th and 8th grade middle school. I lived with my Dad with my brother who was in high school and my old brother just went to college. That year I experienced so much, had about 4 different relationships that only lasted a month or so each, experienced my brothers homecoming at college which was AMAZING! Starting making good grades, finally stopped getting into some much trouble, got into PC gaming (AoE, flashpoint, Rainbow Six, The Sims, Flight Simulator, Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, Shogun Total War, mid Town madness) which kept me out of so much trouble, we had a trampoline, we had a dog (black lab), we still went to blockbuster every Friday, we had satellite T.V which had tons of channels (something never seen before), we had a huge Tube T.V. AOL was getting more popular and Myspace was out. but ultimately the Christmas that year was the best of all Christmases. I got an Xbox with Halo and a couple of PC games, clothing and a train set.

[@tywalker215]

I was 9 yrs old in 2001 and I remember this being one of the most pivotal points in my life.. The yr I began loosing some innocence and growing too fast.. Stuck in between being a child still and a forced teenager.. Idk if I can blame that on having 2 teenage brothers at the time or pop-culture.. I think a little bit of both.. And also the year that Our country changed forever. 1 yr later was the first time I ever smoked weed and I blame Afro-Man and the Jay and Silent Bob movie lol

[@evierodriguez82]

This is very nostalgic! Takes me back to being 19 when life was good up until 9/11. Then life for the most part changed drastically.

[@KraZvEgGyBuRgEr]

This was such a great year in music. Every genre was good and at a peak. Rock, pop, hip hop, rap, R&B, Dance (what people nowadays call EDM). I would listen to every song the local top 40 radio station played not changing the station and listening for hours. The same with MTV, I’d just leave it on letting the music play when they used to play music videos for hours. I can’t stand the radio nowadays and haven’t watched MTV in years. There was so much more variety back then, not one genre dominating more than another like nowadays.

[@romy4858]

Please don't feel this year was the end our innocence. Yes it was a gateway for change. But we will always hold our nostalgic moments in our hearts. These are our gifts we pass on to our kids. As it always has been through generations of growth.

[@Dawitness11]

The 90s were so great it bled into the 2000s. Unfortunately, 9/11 was definitely the shift that started moving society in a downward projection. It didnt happen over night. If you wasnt at war the 01, 02, 03, and even 04 were great years, however that was basically the end of the great era the 90s had created.

[@reubensingh1430]

2001 was good year wish I was alive the apart from 9/11 and Aaliyah passing

[@Wuunderboy]

I was 7 going on 8 here. Yet I remember everything here so vividly! Seeing Halo Combat Evolved, Yugioh, original Pokemon movie, hearing all these songs like Linkin Parks first album and all these other amazing one hit wonder songs truly touches my heart in ways unexplainable. This year truly made me who I am today witnessing all this innocence and fun only to later see 9/11 first hand as a kid in NYC. It taught me that good and bad in life coexist, and with that looking back now I can honestly say 2001 was truly an end to the "90s golden era" we all speak of. with both the beautiful and the sad I've learned and witnessed that year, I can also say I'm so proud to have been born in the 90s to have experienced it all and truly wish I can go back to it because the world today? Is nothing but a shadow of its former self. But seeing this video, there is still hope for the future. There's always hope.

[@obvioushieidude7668]

First off, 9/11 had NO EFFECT on pop culture. Yes the political landscape changed, but pop culture was unaffected. If anything pop culture was already changing BEFORE 9/11. To give you some examples, WWE (called WWF at the time) bought out WCW in March of 2001. Also in March 2001, the Sega Dreamcast was discontinued and Sega left the console market forever. Oh yeah, the original Pokemon movie came out in 1999 not 2001. The 3rd Pokemon movie came out in 2001 and it underperformed at the box office compared to the first movie. So Pokemania was also declining before 9/11. Also Halo and Yu Gi Oh came out after 9/11.
