When the '00s finally rolled over into the '10s, we were downright stoked because we knew that there's nothing the Internet loves more than nostalgia. Suddenly we had a whole new decade to make knowing references to with a wistful look in our eye.

Furthermore, while those "You Might Be a Child of the '80s If ..." and "You Know You're a '90s Kid If ..." memes demonstrated that everybody loves this sort of thing, we realized that if we did a list for the '00s only days after the decade ended, then pretty much everyone alive would get at least a few of the references, making ours even better.

For those who, like us, secretly get nostalgic for things that happened five minutes ago, Asylum has assembled a list of things sure to get you nodding your head and saying, "Yep, that sure did happen in the past 10 years." Feel free to point out seminal 2000s events that we missed in the comments section.
