2000 was really an extension of the late 90s imo. The real 00s didn't start until 02-03

A lot of people say 9/11 was the end of the 90s and I think I agree. Cell phones and internet really blew up in the following years, and Windows XP came out that year. Among other changes.

March 8, 1999 – Amy Watkins, a 26-year-old social worker from Kansas who worked with battered women in the Bronx, is stabbed to death in a botched robbery near her home in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Her two assailants are sentenced to 25 years to life in prison



^^^ must have been the first hipster in the hood

Prospect Heights was the hood back then?

The West Bronx in 1999

This video has no dialogue so it's less interesting, but you might want to watch a little anyway. That area looks pretty much the same today, just with updated cars and fashion.

 

[Cave Savage]

Why is so hard to find 90s/early 2000s videos of New York like this?

I thought people used to always use camcorders and shyt back then
