In Paris, the moment it struck 12, their computer running the lights went nuts and scrambled the light display. Oddly I have not been able to find a video showing this, but we watched live.

Ah, I remember this like it was yesterday. I grew up in New York. I was 11 that day. I was there with my family everybody was so excited to see the beginning of a new millennium! It's very nostalgic to see Times Square back then. I feel sorrow when I return to New York to visit my family today. Due to what New York has become over the pandemic. I really didn't expect to get emotional over this but it really was a glorious thing to see if you were there! If I could trade now for then, I 100% would. I still remember it being a little windy and it was INSANELY cold outside. I bundled up for that night. Now, I take my kids to see the ball drop every year in NYC.

One of the last times that it seemed and felt like everyone was at piece with each other around the world for at least one day then

That night (December 31st, 1999), I was in Hicksville, New York (which is on Long Island, in the dead center of Nassau County, about 25 miles due east of midtown Manhattan) at the home of some friends. My then-girlfriend and I had made the trip for that weekend to see our friends there. The next night, my then-girlfriend and I visited Times Square, and there was still a lot of confetti on the sidewalks.

Imagine how much changed from 1000 to 2000. Amazing.

I'll never forget this! Unforgettable! I was 17 soon to turn 18 the day after New Year's Day. Time flies by way too fast!

I remember watching this on tv that night thinking to myself the new future era is here like I was amazed at the thought of what crazy technology would come about starting in the 2000s lol like it was still shocking to me to think that the 90s was over lol I just couldn’t wrap my head around it,

I was only 7 at the time but I remember watching this clear as day. I also remember when midnight hit here on the west coast and everybody in the neighborhood went crazy. A couple of bushes even caught fire.

That moment when you realize you were alive during the ringing in of the New Millennium not many can say they were alive during this is a feeling that can only happen every 100 years to every 1000 years I wish I could live to 2100.

Here on New Year’s Eve 2024 Wish i was alive to see this. Anyway happy new year!

The fact this is 24 years ago is nuts

I was 10 years old and I remember we stayed home for this NYE cause my parents thought the world was gonna end lmao

watching this from 2019. So trippy to think the 20s will be here again in just a few short months. I hope you all are surrounded by loved ones come the new year.

I still remember this like it was yesterday. I was in 10th grade and went to Vermont with my family to visit grandparents. I stood in their carpeted living room and waited for all the power to go out like an idiot thinking Y2K was going to turn off the world. Sad to think what happened less than two years later, in that same city.

I was at Epcot in Walt Disney world, Orlando, Florida at age nine during this one in a lifetime moment. Yes I kind of wish I was there but you know what I’ve been blessed to have such a wonderful time during the excitement for the coming of the new millennium.

I'm glad in the later years they added Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" to the NYE playlist.

I watched "ABC 2000" when I was 21 years old. I was a young adult Gen X'er back then. I didn't wanna go into the year 2000 and beyond, but I had to for reality. Life goes on and so does time. I wish it were possible for me to travel to the past, especially my K-12 school years and beforehand. I graduated from high school in 1997. I'm currently 45. The 2020s are the epicenter of middle-aged Gen X'ers like me. The year 2023 is closer to 2000 by rounding off to the nearest 50. When the calender hits 2025, it's officially rounded off to 2050. I wonder what the future will look like. It's impossible for me to travel to the past. I should be present in every moment and look forward to the future.
