Though we may have rang in the new millennium roughly 25 years ago, the 2000s still feel as though they were yesterday. But between logging into MySpace, watching American Idol and of course, trying to make those teeny tiny sunglasses look good, we still found the time to snap a whole lot of photos — ones that tell us more about this iconic time period than the dogearred pages of any history book.

From Mike Tyson getting his signature ink to the Twin Towers on September 10, 2001, here are 24 photos that perfectly exemplify the vibe of the early aughts.
