Yes, 9/11 was a terrible event. There were also terrible events in the 90s like pre 9/11 attack in 1993 and Columbine in 1999 etc. But people loved the 90s.
The 2000's were a depressing decade because of 9/11; The 2000's were an awesome decade because of the movies, games, songs, and tv shows that happened at that time period
