YouTube is Born

There's nothing that can compare to the buzz around bloggers once YouTube hits the web! As the internet really kicked off during those early 2000 years, YouTube changed a new form of media, making video accessible to anyone with a computer. The platform brought on a different form of celebrity, and it's because of YouTube other mock-ups like TikTok and Vine even made it in the first place!

'The Office' Comes To America

The hilarious and still-widely loved sitcom The Office ran so that Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and Brooklyn 99 could walk! The workplace comedy series launched a new form of comedy, constantly breaking the 4th wall! 

Even to this day, Steve Carell is noticed far and wide as the beloved "Michael Scott" and the show is still one of the most streamed on Netflix!

Eminem Wins an Oscar

At the beginning of the 2000s, most of the older generation hated Eminimen for his crude lyrics, constant cussing, and inappropriate behaviour. All that quickly changed when Eminimen starred and produced his own bio-pic 8-Mile. The movie was a huge success, and the original soundtrack single "Lose Yourself" not only topped the charts but earned the rapper an Oscar. 

To this day, whether you love him or hate him, there's no denying 8-Mile is one hell of a movie!
