In 2001, I was 21 years old and I was studying at Manchester university, I haven’t been to Manchester for 4 years now but the best thing about this video is the old trams, I loved there acceleration noise, it’s a shame they’ve been replaced, but they were outdated for there time.

[@mrworldwide5811]

I was too young to remember this the early 2000s-late 90s an amazing time to be alive what I loved the most is the buildings with the white and the weird grey stone

[@teshiku1249]

I wasn’t even alive then but it really didn’t change from 2001 to 2014, I love those years when the world felt grey

[@willking9410]

it really did change quite abit

[@cba.literallycant.]

It was the millennials coming of age era
2010s were far too late for this time period, 1998-2006 was that like era
2007-2013 was the next 13-16 was another era
2017-now has been current

2014?😂😂 you ain’t experienced the world yet

[@theblah12]

I think you’ll find that Manchester is still very grey!

[@hassankhan384]

When things were alot better then today, and life in 90s and 00s was simple and just good to be alive in those days wish I was there at least I wish if I was 18 years old in 1999 or around those years.

Worst decision they made getting rid of Cannon Street bus station.

@@theone77443 no because the 20th century started in 1901 so the 2001 was the start of the 21st century

[@cba.literallycant.]

@@rmg5111 it does make it mad confusing but on a technicality the year 2000, is the 20th century as there was never a “Year 0” in history
2000 is the first year of the 2000s decade however it is the last year of the 20th century.
