I remember on December 31, 1999 VH1 kept playing "1999 by Prince" on a continuous loop for about 5 hours I think, might've been longer. I spent New Year's day and night proper playing Final Fantasy VIII.

I was nineteen, but because my conservative grandparents were staying with us I couldn't go out or have alcohol (despite being of legal age here in Australia) and ended up not even bothering to stay up until midnight. As the new millennium arrived, my younger brother who was stuck on an inflatable mattress next to me rolled over and said 'happy fucking New Year.'
On the bright side, my mother and I got up early and went for a walk to see the first sunrise of 2000 and saw a bunch of ibis. So that's a cool memory I will always treasure.

(I was 12) I kept my PC shut down... so it couldn't malfunction when year 2000 starts. Probably was playing Age of Empires II (the archaic version), Unreal 1 or something earlier that day or studying for the exams, cuz we don't have Xristmas here.[/i]

I had just moved to Atlanta. Had zero friends, and wasn't in a very good place in my life. It was pretty lame, tbh. No jetpacks, no flying cars, no dome cities. The year 2000, turned out to be just like the ones previous. Still love Prince though

Instead of heart-warming Christmas movies meant for kids, my parents made me and my friends watch The Matrix, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense and some other movies I can't quite remember.

Escaped from city to countryside to my parents and had a blast there. Unfortunately all my friends from the town had escaped to the city I escaped from -- well at least me and gf had a great night in the snowy woods, watching explosions in the sky

I spent most of the evening with a poorly baby sitting on my shoulder who was by turns crying about the loud noises from all the fireworks and puking over me, good times... not much different from 2000 2003 and 2006, the in between years I was getting paid by others to cover their duties so they could get drunk, still beats 1995 I spent that one in a literal war zone manning a trench and hoping the fireworks weren't a re-enactment of the Tet offensive... especially since the locals were rather unhappy about us stopping their ethnic cleansing efforts...

Nothing special, no parties or anything. I was at my computer. At midnight, I called my friends, wished them HNY and looked out the windows to see the fireworks.

If I remember correctly we poured out some seltzer in glases, clinked them together, said "Happy New Year!" And then went to bed. At ten o'clock. Because that's how you roll on the mild side.

I don't celebrate New Years, it just seems like an excuse to get drunk, so I largely ignored it whilst waiting to see if the world would end with the Y2K bug. Then I was oh so surprised when nothing happened.

The girlfriend of one of my good friends kept hitting on me the entire night. I was avoiding and rejecting all of it, since you know - "bros..." and all that, but he still got mad at me almost to a fighting point (he would have lost badly). Not something you forget 😂
They broke up shortly after. A year later I dated the girl for several months and we still talk to each other till today. Lost touch with my friend, but not because of the girl.

I was...21. The song, if I recall correctly, was Mambo Number 5 and the bar I frequented was awash with gross old people in Hawaian shirts.
So I went to a fancy bar and got my first taste of "real" whiskey.
It was a whole new world to go with the new millennium.

I vaguely recall a couple of friends being at my house and us trying and failing (or at least only succeeding after considerable effort) to pop a champagne bottle - not because any of us actually wanted to drink it, just for symbolic purposes. I think the consensus by the time the day actually rolled around was that Y2K wasn't going to be that big of a deal, plus we were in the American Midwest and plenty of other places had already hit midnight without much happening.
I think it was either 2000 or 2001 when we actually didn't realize that the clock had hit midnight until my dog started loudly protesting the fireworks.

I was 14 and had just started as a freshman in high school. I also had to get four impacted wisdom teeth removed in order to be fitted for braces and the only time the office could schedule me during school break was New Year's Eve (during the day, obviously LOL). So, that New Year's Eve was spent with cotton wads crammed in my mouth, on antibiotics and pain meds, watching the fireworks on TV. Good times.

I was watching movies, don't remember which ones, possibly Die Hard, as that's a holiday favorite.
I do recall my dad checked the phone to make sure it was working when midnight struck.
