  • The first millennium began on January 1, 1 A.D. and ended on December 31, 1000. The second millennium began on January 1, 1001 and ended on December 31, 2000 (not 1999). The third millennium began on January 1, 2001 (not 2000) and will end on December 31, 3000. etc.

  • There is no such thing as a "year zero." It did not take Jesus an entire year to be born! The traditional date of Jesus' birth is December 25, 1 B.C., which is only a week before January 1, 1 A.D. (the start of the Christian Era). Of course, it would have made more sense for the makers of the calendar to have made Christmas the first day of the year instead of choosing a day that is one week after Christmas, but they were right in not including a "0th year."

  • You know you're nostalgia has gotten bad when you're watching 2000 new years footage in like march 2012

  • It really doesn't make sense to make a 2001 millennium celebration.

  • no wait how about 1999

  • I'll say this to everyone I am one of those millenium child because I was born in 2000 (19th of may) its to bad I did not experience the ultimate coundown to 2000 you know what I wish I was born in oh.. let say 1998 

  • osama* xD

  • "osam" helllllooooo

  • 2000 deserves the title of being the beginning of the new millennium for Americans because 2001 was their year of tragedy, because 9/11 happened.

  • @Karanju fucking red dot

  • Wow,I remember those days.,The end of the millenium .Incredible that 11 years has passed.

  • @beardguy45 12. Idiot..

  • @TheHotGlue

    Is not necessary to use this word against me i'm not perfect.Think about how you are going to begin this new year;insulting others for not been perfect?Let me tell you that i'm making a great effort to write in english ,is not my native language.

  • @beardguy45 I begin every new year insulting others for not being perfect. It's what I do.

    But there is an extreme difference between being imperfect and not knowing how to count.

    P.S. I don't care what your native language is because it is completely irrelevant.

  • I was almost 4 years old but I have a tape of my dad on the phone joking around saying "We're still alive." and my Grandpa said "The world isn't over!" the first thing of the New Year.

  • End of the world Countdown, haha. :)

  • The best new years ever! Nothing can beat it until the 2999 countdown to 3000!

  • @sonic2277 It's a year, and years mark important events and situations in life.

  • Now a days, how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb on the New Years Eve ball? None, because it no longer has light bulbs!

  • 2000 people were'nt to the new year 2001-2002 because the 9/11

    (sorry my english)

  • @shainatumoder you even said sorry for your english badly now that dude is bad

  • There was an event much like this one I went to one time back in 2002!! No joke. It was Duke Vs. Wake Forest, and Wake Forest beat Duke in Basketball at the LJVM Coliseum. No, it wasn't like this event people wise. However, as far as people cheering goes, yes. People were cheering as loud as The New Millennium!! Seriously.

  • and we had no idea what the new millennium would bring. Boy, were we new yorkers in for a decade.

  • Wow! 9/11 hadn't even happened yet. That's how long ago this was. It happened right there, too.

  • @unm2015 i was just thinking that. everything was so innocent

  • i was there. everybody thought the ball was gonna explode at midnight...but afterwards, everybody partied til at least 3 am on the square. no one wanted to leave.

  • 3 people was born in 2001

    HAH!

  • 4:46 COME ON DOWN!!!!

  • i was 3 when dis happened. what was it like

  • @Lansut97 I was watching it on live TV. They said everything will change in the new year 2000 millennium but nothing changed. Same old boring life.

  • Comment removed

  • the excitement in the air is palapable...even if its in 240p and over a decade old

  • if only they know what would happen in the following years, 9/11, a war, thousands of deaths, a bad economy making ppl lose jobs, a horrible water shortage in africa, riots in london, syria, middleeast. and more.

  • @awesomenoob6281 dont worry, our best days are ahead of us

  • @SlayerGod999 good point :)

  • this dude should have played the final count down i mean really who wouldn't

  • new years eve brings back the memories

  • this brings back memories! i was in the crowd with my fam! what an awesome experience for a then 12 year old like myself! 

  • I was sleeping when this happen. FUCK!

  • @TheWwweee LOL FAIL

  • @alopez850 yea if only i was awake

  • No, you would have been 16 in 2004.

  • HEY WERE STILL HERE!! LETS DRINKS SOME MORE WHOOOO!!!!!

  • Actually, there WAS a few banks in Germany that had some problems on January 1st, 2010, but it's unlikely that it was caused by the new years.

  • before it hit 2000 some people looked scared

  • The World New Year's Celebration Broadcast on ABS-CBN 2, PTV 4, RPN 9 and IBC 13 since December 31, 1986-present.

  • damn they should've blacked out the city for like 10 seconds to fuck with people hahaha

  • I would laugh so hard if all the lights just went out haha

  • I was 6 years old when this happened, and I remember watching this on TV!

  • I was 10 I remember little of this. :(

  • End of the 90s. Worst day ever

  • @96jnb

    The 90s only really ended in 2003. 

  • @sega31098 2004 in my opinion

  • 2011...time is flying

  • @Yunoha2 really I know a 44 year old who doesn't

  • WTF wasn't everyone scared on the countdown because of y2k? I remember friends and family and some others bought food and supplies. And they weren't happy at the countdown. I was 6 at the time

  • @y2j456

    Because people thought computers were running the world and if the computer failed, people would be sent back to the stone age.

  • Awww, wish I was there back in 2000 to see that, mind you I'd have only been 6 years old, I probably wouldn't like in then, but now I would!

  • Comment removed

  • I probably would've just pulled down some random girls pants and start fucking her

  • Y2K was serious shit back then 

  • what was the first song in this video ?

  • @wrestlemania957 why was 1999 so good? i was born in 97 and the best year so far was 2010...

  • @Camohat100

    1999 was when the economy was at it's highest. It stabilized somewhere in 2000 and went downhill in 2001.

  • @sega310982 Yea due to the information age/.com boom.

  • @sega310982 Agree

  • the dawn of the collapse of america...it breaks my heart...this was before the national security agency had everyone locked in pins and we could actually have backpacks and cellphones......the good ol days...

  • FCK MY PARENTS ARE SO STUPID!!!! THEY DIN WAKE ME UP FOR THIS WHEN I WAS 4!!!

  • @XTrevvion Lol. I was like 3 and I actually wanted to go to bed, but my parents made me stay up cause they said there will never be anything like this again. Now i'm glad they made me stay!

  • I was 6 when this occurred. I thought the ball would explode as soon as the 2000 sign lit up, my dad was at his company backing up corporate servers and then awaiting for the clocks to reset to 0 or 12 midnight.

  • @wrestlemania957 True, because there is no Year Zero

  • I was only 2! when it the end of the millenium

  • i was only 2! when it the end of the millenium

  • I was only 3 :( the only millenium I'll ever live through and I can't remember the celebrations :'( makes me want to cry.......

  • @wrestlemania957 well then sux for him too

  • @wrestlemania957 I don't remember anything, so it does count since I didn't experience it

  • i wonder how was the countdown to 1900

  • @PhobetorXVII really?!?!?! i mean was that serious or are you just . . .i'm not even gonna say. .

  • @PhobetorXVII

    They didn't celebrate new years until a few years later.

  • @wrestlemania957 I don't want to get into the discussion of when the millenium began because people have different views and it is still being debated. You said it was the best year ever and I don't remember shit so sux for me

  • @wrestlemania957 not to me, it was cross of the milenium, that's like fucking huge to me, we're all very extremly lucky because it's not just cross year, nor cross decade, but it was cross millenium, only like 2 generations of people get to celebrate that since AD. and you said it was the best year eva and sux for people who missed the year, so yeah i don't remember shit so sux for me

  • @wrestlemania957 I wish I was born earlier, I was born in 95 but I remember nothing of it.

  • imagine how big new years will be in year:1,000,000. people will be lit on fire.

  • @unknwnZERO We will have 997,989 years till then. I think we will kill ourselves before that date. ;)

  • les années 90s ! les meilleurs années !!!

  • Miss those years. When fear and hope where part of the collective mindset.

  • AMAZING

    i was 7 when this happened so i guess i was asleep at that moment

Thats how I thought the countdown was but then I watched this and I was like OH. OKAY.

  • Clinton was still president. What a time to be alive.

  • @rockshock06 Amen

  • @rockshock06

    They thought they were, but they were only celebrating the end of the decade and a new year.

    2001 was when it all started.

  • almost 2011! Wonder how the people in Times Square on December 31, 2010 is going act like.

  • @gamerboy49 Who knows?

  • No heavily armed cops and homeland security around...these were the peaceful days

  • i was 6 (1994) now, 2010, im 16 :D

  • Shouldn't the last song of the previous year have been "Party Like Its 1999"??

  • i was 12 when this happened ! i cant believe its been this long ! im gonna be 23 in a month !

  • Someone should of shut off all of the lights to scare people.

  • I was 17 when the ball dropped to 2000.... Had a GREAT party this night! I can not believe this was 10 years ago.... and now I'm 3 years from 30! Time FLIES by!

  • It's actually called "Anthem for the New Millennium" if you look it up on the US Copyright website, and it's by Charles B. Kim, go to his website to hear all the music from the Times Square 2000 Project. There's "Times Circle", "Fanfare for the Common Man", "Rhythm of Light", and "Virtual Orchestra Reprise".

  • i miss the 90s the new milleniums pretty sucky

  • welcome to the brand new millineum

  • @ddmyers1

    The new millenium is 2001 onwards.

    2000 was not the new millenium nor the new century. It was 2001-3000 that will be the 3rd millenium. 2001-2100 will be the 21st century.

  • @sega31098 ok nerd

    

  • @ddmyers1

    NERDS FTW

  • they should have done a prank- have a fake alien UFO fly down as it hits 2k... XD some people would have pissed thier pants..

  • I have to tell you that I don't miss the '00s one bit. I don't know if the '10s is any better so far (as of this comment). I keep dreaming about sad things that happened in the '00s.

  • i was 5 when this happend! i wish i kew more about what a "year" was back then lol. i DO remember parties!

  • @mrm64 I was 10 and it was fucking awesome!

  • Anybody know what song was played after Kenny G's Millennium edition of Auld Lang Syne? I like the sound of it, but don't know what the song is. Can anybody help???

  • The things i would do to go back in time....

  • Ok why do you say that that the years 2000 and forward are getting worst? I think 2000 to 2010 are the beat years especailly in technology back on the 90s computures was a big deal for everyone now look at it we got the iPhone, xbox360, PS3 etc

  • @TheLighting564 it's funny because i look at it at a completely different point of view. I don't think we are supposed to be as interconnected as we are today with technology. It does have its pros and cons. I miss the times that people actually had to TALK to each other face to face to know what was going on in each other's lives. relationships seemed more genuine. it's amazing how technology has progressed but i think the way we interact with each other now has actually suffered.

  • @TheLighting564

    They mean in politics and economy.

  • havent seen anything good since 90s i mean 90s we're good we hope the 2000s would be better but every year is getting worse and worse and thats not nice thats freakin bad the now generation sux dude im tellin you they are dumb i mean im 17 years old and i can see that they are dumb brainless kids

  • enter your text here

  • damn.....and only a year later you could go from something as happy as this to as sad as 911......

  • Man, I wish I can remember the 2000 celebrations and I was born in '92. Now 10 years later, we are still in the 4th millenium, 21st century, and a new decade. Boy time goes by pretty quick.

  • holy shit thats alot of confetti, I wish i was working back then i woulda got paid alot to clean that shit up :P

  • 7:41 no Y2K?
