Deftones (ft. Maynard James Keenan) - Passenger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjainiB8mk4 The correct combo of angry and smooth. And definitely in my rotation when I was a millennial teen.

The Cat Empire - Days like these: This song took over Australian radio in 2002, not sure if it made it international, but it's Reggae Hip Hop style bounces you along on a sunny Summer afternoon on the balcony with a beer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf1uCVww59Y

Decapitated - Winds of Creation. The band is an average of roughly 18 years old at the time they released this album. It launched their careers, and the album is to this day one of the best (death) metal albums ever made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrcHBj67VIU

"The Bubble Song" by Drain STH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDy6oh5I-lk Moody, downtempo track from Swedish alternative metal band's 1999 album Freaks of Nature. I love most of the album, but this one speaks to me.

Chumbawamba - Pass it Along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlX-7LdxryM The followup to Tubthumping was a commercial flop but GM still decided to buy the rights to this song for something like $70-100,000. Chumbawamba took that money and donated it all to anarchist groups investigating GM for environmental crimes. Song's rad too

Idioteque - Radiohead | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svwJTnZOaco | Having not really been exposed to it by my parents this was some of the first 'modern' music I listened to thanks to the epigraph in 'Monsters of Men' and it set a standard that has been hard to live up to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PEybjgUj6U - Björk - Unison (2001). Björk was what finally got me into electronic music, thanks to her blending of electronic elements with things like a full orchestra (as featured in this album). (I also consider the best concert film I've ever seen/heard, though this YT upload isn't the best quality)

Original Prankster by The Offspring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp6Qn8IwPf8 from 2000s Conspiracy of One. Million Miles Away is my fave off that one, but this is the more iconic of its time for me

Underworld - Jumbo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i56xzNLvQDQ | This was recommended to me a month ago by my neighbour, who went to their concert in Seattle. Didn't really hook me but I bet it's someone's jam.

Len-Kids in America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-3VS9t8hNI You know what came out in 2000. That's right, the greatest cobbled together anime film ever, Digimon the Movie(sarcastic) but honestly the soundtrack rips and Len did a fun cover of this that perfectly encapsulates the Turn of the Millennium imo

Paralysed Age - Bloodsucker 2000 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc_mVn640rA - In 2000, White Wolf released a tie in compilation CD for Vampire: The Masquerade. It is, on the whole, about as goofygoth as you would expect a tie-in CD for Vampire: The Masquerade to be, but this is easily my favorite.

Midlake - Roller Skate (Farewell June) [3:34]. Midlake's a hard fave for me and their first release was in 2001, so let's wave off this month early with a song subtitled Farewell June! This album was from when Midlake was compared quite a bit to Radiohead so I'm curious if you'll agree with this listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIUFZF696c
