I’m an ‘80s baby, so much of my childhood was spent having imaginative conversations about the possibilities that awaited beyond the year 2000. As life would have it, I mostly remember anxiety during the final weeks of 1999, instead of excitement. Widespread tension arose regarding a major glitch in computer programming and to what extent the ramifications of the “Y2K bug” would impact our daily routines. Even after our clocks tick-tocked past January 1, 2000, there seemed to be a lingering uncertainty about living on the other side of a new millennium.
Happy 20th Anniversary to Linkin Park’s debut album Hybrid Theory, originally released October 24, 2000.
