child of the 80s/90s here...for some reason i grew up thinking that the turn of the millennium would usher in some kind of apocalypse or otherwise technological dystopia...perhaps a horrific "first contact." i grew up watching x-files and twin peaks... i wasn't alone, i seem to remember this sort of thinking as being fairly standard in the mid 90s youth culture, reared on industrial music...i was only a few decades off.
