the worst fucking year i can remember: 2001

2001 sucked. i was in 7th grade. i was not liked by my classmates. i was nerdy, socially inept, and stupid. i thought that "the simpsons" was the smartest show on television. (in 2001, i wasn't far off.)

bush got elected.

9/11 happened, and caused all the shittiness THAT WE ARE STILL FUCKING DEALING WITH

steve martin hosted the academy awards or some shit.

musically, i do not think that anything good happened. at all.

watch it. WATCH IT SO YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE WORST YEAR.

i think that on top of 7th grade being a shitty time to be alive, 2001 offered nothing to it's youth. the 90's were still gasping for air, and the whoreishness of the 00"s hadn't yet caught on yet. nobody knew what to do, except keep making "alternative" music and wearing mechanic shirts (unbuttoned.) bucket hats were popular for god's sake.

i think that '01 earned some shittiness points for raising the bar on shittiness. have music, fashion, culture, and film gotten better since 2001? not really. but 2001 set the fucking standard for shitty.

it re-invented shitty.

that's all i can remember about 2001. no one was doing anything smart. they were just pissed 1999 was over.
