We decided to take a look back at some memorable moments and trends from life back in 2002. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since these were relevant in our lives.
The noughties was a decade that witnessed numerous memorable trends from fashion combinations of belly tops and low rise jeans to what hits were playing on our radios in 2002.
Have a read of the selection of memorable moments we looked back on that are now 20 years old, from what watched on the big screen to what we named our babies and everything in between.
What was on the big screen
It's safe to say that Harry Potter dominated the movie industry during the 00s. In 2002, the second edition of the franchise Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was released on our big screens.
What we ate
If your mother packed Lunchables in your school bag, you were truly loved. Nothing brings back stronger memories of primary school than the elite combination of mini crackers, ham and cheese.
What we wore
Low rise jeans were all the rage along with crop tops - Christina Aguilera embodied early noughties fashion trends. Thankfully this outfit combination has not reared its head again – well, not just yet!
What we named our babies
The most popular baby boy name recorded in Northern Ireland for 2002 was Matthew while the majority of girls born in the same year were called Chloe.
What we bought
The first mobile phone with a built-in camera was released - the Sanyo SCP-5300. We would love to see the quality of pictures taken with it today.
What we listened to
The Billboard top single of 2002 was Nickleback's How You Remind Me, other popular hits that year included Nelly and Kelly Rowland's Dilemma and Eminem's Lose Yourself.
What we played
Hands up if you wasted endless hours of your life playing The Sims on your desktop.
What we searched for
What we browsed for can tell us a lot about what was trending that year. In 2002, the most popular web searches of the year included Star Wars, Shakira and Spiderman.
What was granted
2002 was the year that saw Lisburn and Newry being granted city status.
What was won
The Belfast Giants were crowned the winners of the ice hockey Superleague Championship 2001-2002.
