Worst Years of the 21st Century
What are the worst years that this millennium has had to offer, and why?
2020 (MMXX) was a leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 20th year of the third millennium, the 20th year of the 21st century, and the 1st year of the 2020s... read more This is the year everything when everything went crap. School and mass shootings got 3 times more common than 2019 in this year.
1998: Born
2002: Vividly remember
2003-2018: Best years ever
2019: Graduated college before I knew what Covid was, lucky me. Found work and fell in love with my love, moved into an apartment in Korea, Seoul, last good year.
2020-2023: These years in my opinion are made of plastic and vomit that a giant vomited out. Almost broke up with my love in 2021, grandma passed away in 2020 after getting Covid.
Small problems began in 2020 and them big problems in 2021 and I predict bigger problems will happen in 2029 and then bigger then massive problems will start in 2039 then ultra massive problems in 2052 then problems as big as the biggest objects you saw in your life in 2080-2100, I am born early enough that I'm glad I won't see 2080.
The year 2023 (MMXXIII) was a common year that started on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. It was the 2023rd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations. Additionally, it was the 23rd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, as well as the 4th year of the 2020s decade. September is almostly over and almostly all months in this year were totally horrible for me. It is possible that October, November or December will, at least partially, redeem this year, but I strongly doubt it. This horror year should be cancelled. 2020, 2021 (excluding February, March and November) and January - first half of August 2022 were very good.
This year is so far the worst, because I have tons of anxiety this year!
Horrible, so much anxienty and alcohol. Pandemic is over, but we are near to the WW3.
2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2001st year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 1st year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 2nd year of the 2000s decade. Not a very bad year, other than 9/11, but that is all that happened
2021 (MMXXI) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar, the 21st year of the third millennium, the 21st year of the 21st century, and the 2nd year of the 2020s. 2021 was scheduled to host many major events that were originally scheduled for 2020... read more March-December 2020 it went downhill but went back up in January-August which became back to okay level, July and August were good then everything became hell in September. When my grandpa tripped and fell of the skateboard he was badly injured and had to go to hospital. In October my grandma got Covid and died the month after. Horrible music dropped. Terrible movies. Winter the dolphin died, then Kush the red panda died in November/december. My dog died on my sisters birthday. In December my nephew was bullied alot. October november december 2021 were top 3 worst months I lived through. Covid was so high in October and november. Even though Covid toned down a bit in December, January-March 2022 was really bad too. Ukraine war started. I almost broke up with my love. My friends mom and aunt both died in a car crash. After all that mess it toned down in spring 2022. June to December 2022 was still bad but not as bad as Sep 2021-Mar 2022. It was bad because I had to stress out in work and I was layed off from the job I got in 2019. Same thing that happened in January 2022 it happened in November 2023 we almost broke up again because I didn't have a job yet. Finally this month (March 2024) I finally got a new job. October 2023 sucked too Hamas attacked Israel. Then in january 2024 my cousin dropped out of college after a year and my other grandma started a battle with brain cancer. Most of this decade has been bad not just for me because of terrible movies terrible music , people erasing history these days , woke media is everywhere , businesses got worse , AI has taken over and is everywhere , EVs are taking over , yes 2022 and 2023 were bad too. My heart has hardened on this decade with burning passion as a 1998er who spent their childhood on the 2000s and teen years 2011-2016. Just I want 2005-2019 (and January-August 2021) back!

2014 (MMXIV) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2014th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 14th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2010s decade. The same thing for 2015 can be said here but to a much milder extent. I was very ill the summer this year when I was in Lithuania. Too lucky that the trip was in every other category legendary though. No scars either.
Had a sickness bug on Christmas, lots of people where sick at school, think it is when my dog was dying but could've been 2015, either way terrible year.
2016 (MMXVI) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2016th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 16th year of the 3rd millennium, the 16th year of the 21st century, and the 7th year of the 2010s decade. 2016 was a hard year for me! I was a lazy kid! I was not social and I was completely a stay-at-home kid! I was placed in a class that I never belonged to in school, not even once! Other things that happened were extreme weather, exploding cell phones, and I fought with a girl who I hated so much because she was so rude and annoying!
Trump, Celebrities dying like the flies (Bowie, Snape, Muhammad Ali, Princess Leia,...), Zika virus, terrorist attacks in Brussels, Nice, Munich, Turkey and Berlin, ...
Personally, 2016 was overall a pretty good year for me. Uni getting under way, making good progress there...
2007 (MMVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2007th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 7th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 8th year of the 2000s decade. There was a flood in our city and our house got flooded so we had to tempararily move house for a year or 2. Also had a horrible teacher.
The Virginia Tech shooting occurred, and the Global Financial Crisis started.
To be honest CAN WE PLEASE delete 2007 though?
2018 (MMXVIII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2018th year of the Common Era (CE), the 9th year of the 2010s decade, the 18th year of the 21st century, and the 18th year of the 3rd millennium. Fortnite became popular and made 2009-2012 borns fall for it. Fortnite sucks! At least the stupid fortnite trend toned down in 2019! 2018 you are just awful. What else? This was one of the worst years for music. 2018 was one of the WORST year of the 2010's. I hated it. Worse than 2017 and 2019. This year is overliked/overrated, in my opinion I am glad to have it on this list!
In my opinion, a terrible year but at least I got to watch the entirety of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise (except for episode 12.5 of MGLN ViVid because it was just a recap episode) for the very first time and the first three seasons (the original, A's, and StrikerS) became my favorite magical girl anime (and currently, my favorite anime in general) of all time though and the best movie I've ever seen (Ready Player One) came out that year.
2022 (MMXXII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2022nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 22nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2020s decade. This started the most wars in the 21st century. The French-West African War, the 3rd war over Israel, and, worst of all, the Russo-Ukraine war. COVID was still going strong in most of the world. TBH, I don't blame people for voting 2020. After all, COVID started that year. But throw that on top of massive wars in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East? Yeah, I'm going to have to vote 2022.
This was genuinely the most boring year I have ever experienced. I turned 16 but I would've NEVER WISHED my sweet 16 on such a boring, pointless, forgettable year.I honestly think 2020 Is way better than this dumb year.
2009 was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2009th year of the Common Era and Anno Domini designations. It was the 10th and final year of the 2000s decade. 2009 sucked, It was just boring! I was hospitalized 2 times and I got a very mean teacher back then and I hated it, I had a lot of bad school days in 2009, thank god I skipped some days out of it! Nickelodeon and other T.V. channels changed their logo and got crappy designs, The N was rebranded to TeenNick and Noggin died in 2009 and replaced by Nick Jr. and we had a teeny tiny bland vehicle and It was stiff and we knew Michael Jackson Died And got replaced by that idiot Justin POOPER!
My least favourite of the 2000s. I despised daycare enough and this was the only year when the whole year consisted of me going to daycare. The birth of my brother was the only positive thing about this year.
2015 (MMXV) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2015th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 15th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 6th year of the 2010s decade. Worst year In my opinion so far honestly. While having some memorable things in it like a Norway trip, and the "start" of my friendship with my best friend, the bad stuff is really bad. December 2015, when I was the illest I've ever been and a video game, Space Quest V scarred my childhood for the closest two years coming.
Offensive, idiotic, should have NEVER happened. Absolutely nothing good or interesting happened that year. Why does everyone like this pointless year so much? I would do anything to delete this horrifying year from existence. Should have been totally skipped.
2013 (MMXIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2013th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 13th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 4th year of the 2010s decade. Awesome, this was tied with 2014, better than 2017, not as good as 2018. Games and music were amazing this year. NHL 14 was released. I got to do so many things.
Similar to 2012 in that it was good but not too interesting. Moving on.
2017 (MMXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2017th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 17th year of the 3rd millennium, the 17th year of the 21st century, and the 8th year of the 2010s decade. For me:
1999: Born
2000-2005: Great!
2006-2008: Beat Years Of My Life (looks like nothing happened)
2009: Sucks
2010: was bad too
2011-2012: They were both okay! (Nothing special)
2013: HORRIBLE Horrible year for me, where do I begin and how do I begin, I mean how? I got braces, Frozen was released then, the teachers were mean back then, I had a very crappy school year, my behaviors were violent and out of control, my life was screwed up and destroyed, Plus... CRINGWORTHY FANBASES! I was finally glad that I left the GoAnimate (GayAnimate) community to move on to Flash Animation
2014 (January-March): Bad, but still memorable
2014 (April)-2015: Meh, It was okay!
2016-present: Awful!
2019 (MMXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2019th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 19th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 10th and last year of the 2010s decade. 2019 - Almost the Worst Year of My Lifetime
Here are the reasons:
1. My driver did not take me home on June 5th
2. I had a painful tooth that was erupting my molar on the bottom left side of my mouth
3. YouTube's Greedy Terms of Service Policy on December 10, 2019
4. Lots of good celebrities died (ex. Caroll Spinney), I know my mom says I do not know these celebrties, but it is still sad to see them go
5. Dora and the Lost City of Gold
6. An Uber Accident on March 27, 2019 (I forgot to call my mom back then... Sheeh...)
7. I had a painful zit in my ear, so I got it treated in September
8. I was non compliant during Ready Mastery at school (I thought my teacher was going to kill me then, Duh... I think it was because I was sick with a cold)
9. My late drivers on the days January 2, September 3, September 23, November 18, and 21
10. YouTube Rewind 2019
Though 2019 may feel a little the same 2017 (in my opinion), regarding this post...
Let's hope the 2020s can have an 80s/90s comeback!
2012 (MMXII) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2012th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 12th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2010s decade. This year was when many things broke loose, like the End of the World Prediction, and how stressful it was for me at the time when I was a severely autisitc 9 year old (with the prediction and other fears I had grown from that year)
It was a good year. Not too significant but I got Nintendo Wii and Mario Party 9 which introduced me to Nintendo.
Ugh, what’s bad about this year if Hurricane Sandy and shootings at a Movie Theater in Colorado and an Elementary School in Connecticut.
2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2003rd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 3rd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 4th year of the 2000s decade. Hey. I'll have you know this was when I was born, If anything this was the best year of my life because of it.
2008 was a leap year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2008th year based on the Common Era/Anno Domini designations. It is the 8th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 9th year of the 2000s decade. I'm surprised this year is not at the top 10. It was NOTORIOUS for being insanely difficult. I get PTSD from this year man like it was such a scary time. Also, let's not even get started with the economic depression thing that happened
2004 was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2004th year of the Common Era and Anno Domini designations
2010 was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2010th year based on Anno Domini/Common Era designations. It is the 10th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 1st year of the 2010s decade. 2010 ties as the worst year of my life with 2020. Had a severe head injury after falling of a fairground ride then got rushed in an ambulance, had concussion, I was throwing up, then when they where stitching up my head some chemical went into my eyes and burnt them resulting in my eyes literally sealing shut for like 2 days. Got brain damage, eating disorders, emetaphobia, OCD and PTSD. Also was getting bullied at school.
2010 was mediocre, and all I could ever do was cry myself to sleep.
2011 (MMXI) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2011th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations. This year killed millions and millions! Even worse than 2012!
Add an extra 2 years and it's better

2005 was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2005th year of the Common Era and Anno Domini designations. It was the 6th year of the 2000s decade. August 29, 2005 - Hurricane Katrina kills 1836 people and ruins the city of New Orleans, as well as the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast and parts of Alabama.
One of the only good things about this was the beginning of YouTube.
Hurricane katrina struck in this year on august 29
2024 (MMXXIV) is the current year, and is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. It's the 2024th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations.
This is the 24th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2020s decade.
2006 was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2006th year based on the Common Era/Anno Domini designations. It is the 6th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 7th year of the 2000s decade. Just because of one manga series doesn't mean this year sucked. Grow the hell up
2002 (MMII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2002nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 2nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2000s decade. This is the year I Was born. I have peace and quiet until... the following years had started.
I do love the early 2000s, but I also remember (2005-2012), my childhood years, so I cannot hate those years, well except for 2009.
