Ok, so I’ve been playing this game I found on this sub.

It plays a music video and you guess the year the song came out. (www.yeartobeat.com if you’re curious)

Super fun, love it. It gives songs from all eras and genres of music. But what I have noticed is that if a song came out in the year 2001 I never guess that year right. I always think it’s a few years before or after.

I usually try to remember what was going on in my life when that song was big, like say when Usher’s Yeah was huge, what was going on, did I go on vacation, was it the big song at the beach that summer, etc., helps me narrow down a year.

But 2001 seems to be deleted from my brain. So far I haven’t been able to connect any memories to songs from that year.

My kid thinks it’s a side effect of the trauma we all experienced from 9/11. I don’t have any other explanation. I can get songs exactly right from 97, 98, 99, and 2000. But if it’s 2001, I whiff it every time.

I wonder if this can be extrapolated out to other things and this is just the first thing I’ve noticed.

So, I’m just curious if anyone else has noticed something like this.
