The 2000s period was a period of constant, rapid cultural changes due to the fluctuating economy and technological changes. The early 2000s was definitely marked by stricter travel (due to 9/11 sadly) and still had remnants of late 90s pop culture. The late 2000s saw fashion trends and technology change.People always say that the 00s were rubbish because of 9/11 and the Financial crash, but those events occurred on opposite ends of the decade, if you take away the years 2001, 2008 & 2009 and just left the years 2000 & the years from 2002 to 2007, then you have a pretty awesome decade by and large.The aughts is a way of referring to the decade 2000 to 2009 in American English. The equivalent term used in British English is the noughties.
