This popped up in my recommendeds, the early 2000s still felt like the 90s in a way. Ironically some of the cars in the video are still on the road today some are in rough condition though today. The atmosphere really changed around 2004-2005. Lots of the 90s Ford crown vic taxis were still in service.
That's why you often hear people say they miss the late 90s early 2000's, or the "Y2K era"... Things started to feel different around 04-05, that was the real 2000's
I've been going through videos of NYC the past couple hours and reading the comments. Many say everything changed after 9/11 (being 13 at the time this resonates the most with me), after early 2000s, late 2000s. I'm even seeing comments saying everything changed after around 2013. Someone said they miss the energy of 2015. Of course things changed, some for the better some for the worse but I also have to wonder how much of it is nostalgia for the period of time when we were kids.
@@circleinforthecube5170 I think you are ignorant of certain facts. You put an idea in your head without even carefully consulting the facts.

Watch a lot of films, videos, music from the 90s and early 2000s (which are not at all different) and you will avoid saying such things.
Wowww 20 yrs went by just like this!! Ironically it looks so different yet similar in some ways compared to now. The last 13 yrs past by very very fast. I remember ecommerce didn't really take off until around 2011, and that was only 12 yrs ago.

Wow great video! Wish I lived in New York at Thant time but in a world where the year is frozen in 1995 so we have the World Trade Center and there’s all the great music 🎵 please I was born in the wrong era! Take me to 1990s oh please please... 🏙 R.I.P World Trade Center

Woww!! I was just thinking about the mom and pop dress shop across the street from Macys! I couldn’t remember the name! Now I see it was called Liquors. It was owned by a Chinese couple and I always found super cute and cheap stuff there. They didn’t survive the rent increase and closed down probably in 2004. And Daffys!!!!😮 omg throwback!! Good times. No social media back then. Life was so much more fun.
yep it was all Ford Crown Victorias back then and they were the famous taxis of NYC, now no NYC cab drivers drive them at all anymore, i also remember when Ford Crown Victorias were the cop cars and taxicabs when I was growing up here, now today cop cars are all Explorers, Tauruses (even though they were discontinued on March 1st 2019) , Tahoes, Dodge Chargers and some Ram 1500s also, I feel like the Crown Victoria has now been largely forgotten since the last one was built back in September 2011
It's weirder for me to know that those people born in 2003 will turn 20 years old in the next year, and I still remember them when they were just little kids of elementary school, and I was finishing high school...
Why did I hav to be a teen during the glory days of this city? This is when nobody had to worry about anything, no riots, no BLM, no unprovoked attacks, no bail reform, there was law and order, the police were allowed to do their jobs,
