I was 7 years old in the year 2000. I remember it like it was yesterday. Having a house full of friends and family, street parties and my parents still finding confetti and celebrations decs 15 years later in our lounge fan 😂
Was so happy for a night that the world had united in Love, Peace and Harmony! Had such hi hopes for this Century! Then 9/11, more wars an now Covid. We find ourselves 20 years later in a world I barely recognize. I have to believe that humanity will open their eyes to see what they are doing too each other an this fragile planet! We can bring back the magic of Millennium Night!!
Obviously nobody knows what 3000 is going to look like but this was very special, the internet had only been out for a few years, the shows on tv, the general culture of the time
It also makes me sad because when I'm watching tapes from the new millenium, I am reminded that this was something that I could've been apart of, but wasn't because I came to this world 3 years too late
I was opposite the Sydney Opera House for this night - it still remains for me the most breathtaking fireworks and celebration i have ever seen. What TV showed did not do it justice. Yes, these days they use more bang but its not the same as creating an occasion like they did in 1999/2000 - its all about a lot of bang but no substance now. Sydney really stood out on the world stage for NYE 1999 and then the Olympics hammered it home. Sydney - an awesome city for it size and place in the world!!!
It's 17 years ago now, and it still moves me. It had this wonderful feeling to it. I'm so glad I got to experience this. Unfortunately a lot of people didn't, and there's a long long LONG time to the next Millennium.
Look up the word "Anemoia" also, there's a great YT channel called "Dictionary of obscure sorrows" that elaborates further on what what the word means.
7:34 the view is my hometown, and Macao was returned to China in 1999 then celebrated in 2000. I love there until now, and I am already there for 20 years.
@@benjaminmendezz what's with year 2100? it won't be a special New year event. It will be celebrated just like how we celebrate new year now. The Next Grand celebration will be the next millenium and it will happen on year 3000. Nobody living today will still be alive that time. Even babies born today as of my writing won't be able to witness it.
Yea, they should make the Year 2000 celebration THE BIGGEST Single event in the world, cause i dont want to wait another 980 years for another millenium.
Arggh! I was only 6 when this happened so I didn't really rellize what was so impotant or why people were so crazy...GOD it's times like these were I wish I could've been born earlier LOL
I was 1 when that happened. I'm such a loser. It's a pity. Unfortunately, only New Year 99/2100 - new 22nd century in very old age I hope that I'll see it and scream a final countdown. I need to see at least it in my life.
You guys complain about being 10 at the time, I wasn't even one at the time :3 Still had 14 days to go before that day came. Really wish I could've been born earlier.
Norge Noreg Norway no 2000 is the new millennium, 1999 is the last year of the 2nd millennium before y claimed there’s no year 0. You need to realize theres no year 1 either.
QuestionsandAnswers I agree. the new millennium started in 2000. Purists keep claiming that it started in 2001 because there was no year 0, but they need to realize that there was no year 1 either.
Bamberditto PingPong: You are correct the 3rd Millennium and the 21st century started in 2001, not in 2000. 2000 was the last years of the 2nd Millennium and the 20th Century. The ancient Romans didn't know the zero. So the centuries started at 1 not at 0. These kids need to Google or look on Wikipedia. When you were born, your parents announce your birth, there is no cake with 0 number on it. Your parents celebrate your FIRST birthday.
@@Bandy-tv6rd, Yeah that's correct. And even then other systems like the astronomical year numbering system (or just AYN for short) have a year 0 which if you want further information about the astronomical year numbering system you can go check that out if you want. eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/dates.html So yeah although it could be considered unrelated to the conversation about centuries and calendar dates and all that, due to the arbitrariness of the year numbers, in fact, you can start a new century in any year that you would like. This also includes 2000, as in theory the 21st century could start in 2000 as it is arbitrary. But since I want to make a distinction between the 21st century and another century called the 2000s (century), I would do it like this. The 21st century of the AD era began on January 1, 2001 and will end on December 31, 2100. And the 2000s century of the AYN system (or any year beginning with the number 20) began on January 1, 2000 and will end on December 31st, 2099. So yeah, that's all I have to say about it. But still, we can all agree that the AD system is just an arbitrarily man-made system that was created in the Middle Ages, after all, right?
That was an impressive opening to the final year. But it was dissappointing that the so called millennium celebration didn't last until the end of the year when it was the real millennium turn.
Is there nobody in the comments that remembers this? It seems virtually everyone was born at or after 2000. I remember the day very well, one one hand there was celebration and festivities but on the other there was also some fear of the Y2K bug because it was taken much more seriously than some people might think. I remember as we watched all the countries in the world do a new millennium celebration we seemingly waited for all the power to turn off and for us to plument into total darkness. But it was fascinating to see what all the countries would do and everyone had these big things planned that ideally had never been done before to celebrate the new millennium. About 6 months or so before shops all over America sold those stupid T-shits with huge bulky countdown clocks that so many people bought so they could walk around with a giant countdown clock buried in the middle of the shirt, funnily enough stores were about 3-6 months late taking them down so 3 months later you'd still find those shirts lined up in stores except the clock had turned off so it was this giant black screen. But yea it was an interesting time and many people either watched the world celebration often throwing a party and getting drunk or were at some local party if not at the main parties you'd see on TV. It was just an accepted fact that we're going to party and celebrate and, well, if the entire world pluments back into the dark ages I guess this will be a new dark ages party then. You just tried not to think about it and focused on the main celebration but it was always on everyone's minds at the time somewhere in the back and it was common to hear it being joked about to lighten the mood and keep the festivities going.
Such an underappreciated historical event.

I saw it as a toddler and being the first new year's celebration I ever experienced, I didn't know how special it was.
There was a performance on top of the Sydney opera house also during the millennial celebration that was amazing. Wish I could find a video of it.
There were people who dangled over the sails of the opera house for a bit. Is that what you are thinking of?
I don't know why this makes me so sad...
And that celebration will be on a planet far, far away, revolving around a different star, different rotation, etc.
It also makes me sad because when I'm watching tapes from the new millenium, I am reminded that this was something that I could've been apart of, but wasn't because I came to this world 3 years too late
Makes me kinda sad because it was the last one my dad saw, he died in July 2000.

I was in my crib when the Millennium happened. I was only awoken when my mum burst into my bedroom.
Although some of us weren't able to see this, at least we celebrated 2020. Even though this year hasn't gone the way we wanted it to.

Millenium is celebrated every 1000 years. So it's literally impossible people living today will get to witness the next millenium.
