Think about it, a lot of us still remember very well the that 1999-2000 transition.
I don't think anything is gonna be more iconic than that in a long time.

However years ago I was looking at my 1999-200 year book and it said 'y2k' I was like O_o wtf I don't even remember ha....
Y2K was and is a very popular event the earliest I can remember of it was the Family Guy episode but Y2K wins 12/21/12 is only popular because of the movie had we not got that movie it wouldn't be as serious and overly hyped about
