··· PERSONAL TOP PICKS FROM 1997-2002 (+ fitting 1996 ones)
Songs of the years of Geocities home pages, modem bleeps, Hed Kandi and Y2K talk. 2002 was the hardest year to classify, though (hence the paragraph above). The popularity of downtempo electronic music was on its last legs, though it hadn’t died out yet. Politically we were already in another, much darker era.
