I know a Buzzfeed prompt when I see one. We’re all going to end up on one of their lists.

I actually started going to Reddit when I realized how many listicles on buzzfeed are answers from Reddit. Decided to skip the middleman and go straight to the source.

Cracked is the same thing now it’s sad

I miss Cracked from the late 00s/early 10s

A while ago Newsweek posted an article and it was just a thread from Reddit.

Lmaoooo

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre

Houdini has me on a wild early Eminem spree

Same! I saw some clip where some rapper (I guess? I’m old af so I don’t know who it was) was bitching about how Eminem went back to his old sound to pander to all of his old (age wise) fans and how he could never respect someone who did that blah blah blah. Idk, but 1) doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me too make something that a segment of your fans will go wild over. The nostalgia is deliberate rather than creatively bankrupt. 2) have they paid any attention to what the younger generations are into? Horror of anything bootcut aside, I find it hysterical when my 20 y.o. stepdaughter is wearing a Blink band shirt, and going to concerts of bands that were my high school and college years. Current culture is allll about early 00’s culture. Houdini is brilliant. It single handedly made my algorithm stupid with early oughts stuff.

agreed:songs about the stresses of being famous, like from the Eminem Show/Encore period, were just really hard to relate to--in fact, a lack of focus on "mo' money, mo' problems" type subjects was [one of the things](https://imgur.com/a/5oUhkP2) that first made him stand out for me in the mainstream hip-hop waters of his time.

"I done touched on everything BUT little boys. That's not a stab at Michael, that's just a metaphor I'm just psycho."

This song is literally on my summer playlist this year, lol

The entire Postal Service album start to finish.

Seeing it live in May reminded me how well that album has aged. Still so good.

I saw it live in September. They performed so well.

Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I heard this at the grocery store this afternoon. Such a banger, but depressing that the yeah yeah yeahs are now grocery store music 😭

So wild we’ve finally reached the age that we enjoy the music at the market. I have to stop myself from singing at Trader Joe’s 😭

"yeah yeah yeahs are now grocery store music" Off with your head!

Heads will roll!

Gorillaz. The whole album.

Clint Eastwood is probably my most listened to song of all time.

Helena by MCR.

Quite literally was blasting and absolutely SCREAMING it yesterday while I was driving down the road lol

Darude Sandstorm (yes I know it technically was released in 1999)

I have a playlist from my formative years of this genre and it gets very regular use. Basshunter, ATB, Benassi, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Kaskade, Dash Berlin...

WOW memories UNLOCKED. Back when I could generate my own dopamine….

Fun fact i have the same Playlist and it's also a great way to be a fully functional adult in a frustrating world. Feeling too tired to do the dishes or clean the washroom? My old dance playlists are always here to loan me some energy.

1999 counts :)

[удалено]

And let's not forget the Bert and Ernie cover... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bHJSOfi1cI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bHJSOfi1cI)

Work It - Missy Elliot

All of Daft Punk Discovery. Please don’t make me pick just one

Have seen Interstella 5555 like eight times. Best way to experience that album.

Taking Back Sunday - Cute without the ‘E’

That whole album is near perfect

thisssss

I saw them play this album front to back a couple years ago and it was one of my favorite concert experiences

I randomly saw them in Spain while at port in the Navy. Best fucking liberty port ever.

Rocked this album so hard in college

[удалено]

All These Things That I've Done by The Killers. In fact, all of Hot Fuss.

I got soul but I’m not a soldier!

I got ham but I’m not a hamster

I got plums but I'm not a plumber

I got bones but I’m not a boner.

Hot Fuss is one of my all time favourite albums. Brilliant album and I still have the CD for it

So many bangers on this album

Drive - Incubus

I still love My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay.” I’ll rock to it every time

That whole album aged very gracefully, it’s kind of shocking! Loved it then, and love it now.

I’m still on the whole 2000s pop punk scene. I embarrass the shit outta my kids with it.

TRUST ME

This song was a go-to for karaoke through my mid twenties. It fell into that "middle school bop I forgot" category that was guaranteed to get the crowd involved. I felt like a king when I held the mic to the crowd for the "trust me" part. If you can hit a solid "naAAWT," I highly recommend belting it out to a bunch of boozed up yuppies.

DMX Party Up (Up In Here) try it when you're low. it's a vibe.

I have still been known to shake it like a Polaroid picture on occasion.

The way you move - Outkast

If I could bring back any band whose members are still alive for one more tour, it would be Outkast. Killer Mike from Run the Jewels posted a picture with Andre 3000 and Big Boi a couple weeks ago and it legitimately fucked me up. I got my hopes up and everything. My favorite duo of all time

Came here to also say Outkast! 

Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Smooth Criminal

That whole album slaps

The entirety of the album “Toxicity” by System of a Down

Sigh.. fine.... "WAKE UP!"

(Wake up)

Grab a brush and put on a little makeup

Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up

Why'd you leave the ketchup on the table

Here you go create another fable

YOU WANTED TO

Grab a brush and put a little makeup

YOU WANTED TO

ATWA

Family Affair - MJB

No Dramaaaaaa in myyyyyy life 

That song gets me every time.

All You Wanted- Michelle Branch Different type of banger lol. Fills me with Nostalgia Everytime

I listened to Hotel Paper, again last year! So good.

I listen to the songs she did with Santana on a regular basis lol

Say it Right by Nelly Furtado&Timbaland (2006, so not quite early y2k)

Wow that song is a vibe!

Man my step kid is all into that song and she's 14. That album was a banger though 🔥

That whole era of Timberlake and Neptunes is 50% of my workout playlist.

Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World

Are you *listen*ing (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh) Bleed American is always a solid listen.

The Middle did it for my 15 year old "misunderstood" self

1999 but Santana’s Supernatural album

Smooth is definitely one I’ll listen to every time I come across it when I shuffle.

“Float On” by Modest Mouse is still part of my regular rotation.

Dude, that whole album was so good. To this day they are my favorite band.

That was one of my favorite songs to play on Rock Band on my PS3!

Audioslave! Their whole self titled album from 2002 bangs HARD and Chris Cornell's voice is still unmatched to this day, IMHO ☺️

Like A Stone is a great song!

Show Me How to Live is an absolute brain floss banger!!

Seven Nation Army, The White Stripes Hey Ya!, OutKast Smooth, Santana ft. Rob Thomas No One Knows, Queens of the Stone Age It's Been Awhile, Staind I Am the Highway, Audioslave Mr. Brightside, The Killers

The album "I'm wide awake its morning" by bright Eyes. Ahhh and a lot of The Strokes

Bright eyes album is great.

Bright Eyes forever. Can’t wait for the new album this fall!

“Road to Joy” will now be stuck in my brain for a week. Thank you!

Pretty much all of Gorillaz *Demon Days*, which came out in 2005. *Plastic Beach*, too...but that was 2010.

Ah, demon days is nearly 20. I'm gonna go lay down.

White Stripes Seven Nation Army, Icky Thump and Fell in Love With a Girl tbh I love all their albums. The Killers Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town The Darkness Thing Called Love

Da Club by 50 Cent

Can’t Get You Out of My Head by Kylie Minogue

Padam Padam is more recent, but equally as much of a banger

LOVE Padam Padam!

What a fantastic beat that song has. Just reading this took me back to 2002

Okay, I have two, but ["Breathe" by Télépopmusik](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDz2Xk-LRN0) and ["One More Time" by Daft Punk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGBhQbmPwH8) – I'll never forget the first time watching this music video; basically my intro to anime.

Seconded to both these songs. I'd also add Dirty Vegas-Days go by. Those commercials back then had fire music

Shakira "Whenever, Wherever"

Caring is Creepy- The Shins

Garden State opened this band up to so many

“Gotta get thru this” - Daniel Bedingfield That opening beat gets me everytime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4eMyOzD9UI

Both of his albums were great. He was really a flash in the pan though.

Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly (ok it's 1999 but it SLAPS)

I listened to Best of You today, still incredible.

Recently, I've been listening to Perfect by Simple Plan.

I heard Addicted on the radio couple weeks ago and forgot how much I still love to sing that in the car

I still like to belt this out on my commute every month lol

Huge simple plan fan too!

Bring Me To Life by Evanescence

Those first two Linkin Park albums. Heard them hundreds of times. So much radio play. 20 plus years later still hit.

Bingo. Both are perfect albums. Mike and Hahn are master producers

Loved the collab they did with Jay Z

The soundtrack to "Garden State" (2004 film). A few tracks from the 70s, the rest from 1998-2002 Zach Braff received a well-deserved Grammy for the compilation

I was going to comment anything Zero 7, this soundtrack introduced me to them

Speaking of Zach Braff, I love listening to the entire soundtrack of Scrubs. So many songs on there that really expanded my horizon.

Krista Miller, who plays Jordan on Scrubs and is Bill Lawrence’s (Scrubs Creator and showrunner) Wife, is often credited for being a big part of the music selection for the show.

I didn't know that Jordan "Godzilla" Sullivan helped with the music selection.

The Shins 😭💕

Nelly, in general

Hot in, so hot in hurrrr

Nelly is so nostalgic for me. My lovely white, Southern, jean short wearing, classic Rock loving Dad would unironically rap and sing along to him back in the day.

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

"Cadillac" by Mest

Wow. I have not thought of Mest in at least 20 years. Saw them a few times, always put on a good show. I recall seeing them with Yellowcard and Cooter (changes to Autopilot Off), hell of a show.

Ballin by Jim jones hahaha

Hail to the Thief - Radiohead

"Drive" by Incubus will sneak up on me on spotify and just send me on a feels trip.

I basically tell Siri to play rock music from the early 2000’s because I believe it’s mostly all still banging and never stopped

Avril Lavigne’s whole first album, Let Go, is honestly a masterpiece Of course, “Complicated” is the best track from the album though

I'm a slave for you - Britney Spears So into you - Fabolous & Tamia

The Real Slim Shady (Eminem) or Bring Me to Life (Evanescence).

Coming out of my cage and I'm doing just fine.

Gasolina by Daddy Yankee lol

Jimmy eat world - futures - pretty much the entire album
