And all the sort of new wave artists were out as of the '90s. And the grungers were out when the aughts came. It's just always too, and when you put out a record like 2001, and you're a '90s band, it's uphill.
And then fast-forward into the dawn of the 21st century. I was in New York in the early aughts and feeling like, oh, my goodness, new identities are proliferating every day. And trans masculinity-- a lot of friends were transitioning.
And the first people that actually had access to treatment were some of those same privileged folks. And what we saw after 1996 and going into the early aughts was people sort of going back in the closet with respect to their HIV status.
The way the producers described it to the writers, as if we were dropping the bomb on Hiroshima. You can see in-- there's a series in the mid-aughts into the tens, called "Batman, the Brave and the Bold"
And I love talking about the show. When I graduated, it was the early aughts , and I walked into an industry that was not particularly looking for dudes who looked like me.
They were so sweet. And it seems in the first decade of the 2000's or the aughts , as they're sometimes known.

Thank you. Yeah, thank you. And he wrote a lot about music, a lot of it on a blog in the aughts called K-Punk.
Here's a way to think about it. Imagine that "Star Wars" did great in the 1990s, the early aughts , tomorrow, or the 1930s. We could easily generate a cultural account of why that happened, and it would be as plausible as the ones that are out there.
And to that end, I greatly enjoyed his previous book, "Why Information Grows," and his new book "How Humans Judge Machines," which he's going to be discussing predominantly today. And as a designer in technology, I was sort of raised in the of '90s and early aughts reading Byron and Nass's "The Media--" sorry, "The Media Equation." It's subtitle-- "how people treat computers television and new media like real people
I love the focus on state and local. That's fantastic. When I started working in this area, I started doing the work around work life issues in the mid aughts , and at that time we had to look a lot abroad for ideas and for what was happening.
