20 Songs From The 2000s That Have Been Completely Forgotten About

The 2000s were a great time for pop music. So many of the hit songs that came out during this decade have stood the test of time and are still popular today. Artists like Justin Timberlake, the Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Amy Winehouse, and so many others were blazing their way onto the music scene and coming out with hit after hit. Songs like "Sexy Back" and "Remix To Ignition" will forever be on our party playlists, but not all of our favorite songs from the 2000s could stand the test of time. In fact, some of them have been completely forgotten about. Here are 20 songs from the 2000s that you've forgotten about, but that you need back in your life.

1. Shaggy - "Wasn't Me" (2000)

A classic to say the least. If you didn't try to imitate Shaggy's voice while saying "wasn't me" at least once in your life, your childhood was missing something.

2. Mario - "Let Me Love You" (2004)

Let's be honest, who wouldn't let Mario love them in the early 2000s? His dance moves alone would get all the ladies.

3. Hilary Duff - "Come Clean" (2003)

You may not have forgotten about this song, but it doesn't get nearly enough credit for how big it was. Everyone knows this song, everyone loves this song, but it's like we've all turned our backs on it. The music video is pure gold. Everyone wanted to hang out with Hilary Duff in her fancy house when this first came out.

4. Madonna - "Hung Up" (2005)

Madonna puts younger pop stars to shame in this music video. Also, this song is still really catchy, and I'm not quite sure why it didn't stand the test of time.

5. The Black Eyed Peas - "Don't Phunk With My Heart" (2005)

This music video is ridiculous, but what else would you expect from The Black Eyed Peas? "Don't Phunk With My Heart" is one of The Black Eyed Peas' most underrated songs, in my opinion. Lets get rid of "Time Of Our Lives" and take this song back instead.

6. Cassie - "Me & U" (2006)

You couldn't escape this song when it first came out, and now people barely remember it.

7. Unk - "Walk It Out" (2006)

While this song can be kind of annoying, it definitely defines 2000s music.

8. Jibbs - "Chain Hang Low" (2006)

Again, another song that can be annoying, but it was so popular it's hard to believe it's barely played anymore.

9. Omarion - Ice Box (2006)

This song was one of my personal favorites when growing up. As an added bonus the music video is pretty entertaining.

10. Danity Kane - "Show Stopper" (2006)

Does anybody know what happened to Danity Kane?

11. Vanessa Hudgens - "Say Okay" (2006)

Every High School Musical fan freaked out when they found out Zac Effron was the co-star in this music video.

12. Mika - "Grace Kelly" (2007)

This is one of the catchier songs you will ever listen to. This is definitely a song that needs to be brought back from the dead.

13. Ashley Tisdale - "He Said She Said" (2007)

Ashley Tisdale was the first Disney star to go rogue with this boundary pushing music video.

14. Kat DeLuna - "Whine Up" (2007)

Another catchy song that everyone knew. Featuring Elephant Man made this song even better.

15. Chris Brown - "With You" (2007)

"With You" was pretty much the quintessential first slow dance song. Chris Brown has had a lot of hits since this one, but in my opinion, this song is one of his best.

16. Mims - "This Is Why I'm Hot" (2007)

This was the song you played if you wanted to look cool.

17. Sean Kingston - "Take You There" (2007)

A follow up to Sean Kingston's more popular "Beautiful Girls," but more catchy in my opinion. I still jam out to this song every time I hear it.

18. Ne-Yo - "Closer" (2008)

I really don't understand why this song isn't just as popular today as when it first came out. It's such a great pop song.

19. T.I. - "Whatever You Like" (2008)

This music video is so cute. And this song is also so catchy. Every girl wanted a T.I. in her life in 2008.

20. Nelly - "Grillz" (2010)

This song really made grills a pop culture phenomenon in 2010. Everyone secretly wanted a set after this music video came out.

As you can see, there's a reason why some of these songs have been forgotten about, but you know you knew all of the words to at least one of them. I hope you enjoyed watching and listening to these music videos as much as I did while making this list.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2092
boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
