"The Thong Song", black boot-cut pants (a.k.a. bitch pants), studded aviator glasses, the election of George W. Bush, Y2K panic, velour warm-up suits, trucker hats, exposed midriffs and navel rings, "So Fresh, So Clean", Destiny's Child...the list of trends and popular culture highlights from the year 2000 could continue.
Now, it's 2010, ten years into the new millennium. As long as a decade is, 2000 doesn't seem that far back. However, much has happened in fashion, art, technology and politics and most of us have shifted our opinions and changed our perspectives over the past years. Just as style has evolved and the landscape of ideologies has morphed, so has the way many of us view the world.
