Most people look back on their middle school years with embarrassment, but let’s be real, our pre-teen years during the 2000s were some of the best. Maybe you had braces, wore Etnies and loitered at the mall for hours with 20 bucks to your name; you were on top of the world and no one could tell you differently. If you were as hip and cool as your AIM username probably was, these 15 signs you were a 2000s teenybopper should ring true!
1. You couldn't tell difference between N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys.
2. You connected with Avril Lavigne on a spiritual level.
3. "My Super Sweet Sixteen" filled you with so many false expectations about turning 16.
4. Troy and Gabriella were the ultimate definition of #RelationshipGoals.
5. The Jonas Brothers were the three best things you never knew you needed.
6. You wanted to be a Spy Kid when you grew up.
7. "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana" was the ultimate crossover.
8. It was impossible not to laugh at "Shrek".![]()
9. You low-key believed in magic because Harry Potter was so convincing.
10. You weren't terribly ashamed to own a copy of "Kidz Bop."
11. You sang along to 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and "Candy Shop" when you really probably shouldn't have.
12. That time when the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana joined forces could have brought you to tears of happiness.
13. You owned way too many copies of "Tiger Beat," "Bop," "M," "J-14," and "Pop Star" magazines.
14. Your bedroom walls aptly showcased your shameless accumulation of said magazines.
