Throwback: America's sweetheart, Los Angeles icon and pop tycoon, Britney Spears, in Mexico (2002). What a time.

What. A Time. '

What was in the air in 2002?

 

AGAIN. WHAT A ******* TIME. Seriously? What was in the air in 2002? 

IMO, this was the best year of pop culture in the 2000s.

The air in 2002 was that Britney was an untouchable megastar with more confidence, presence, and poise than any of her contemporaries, but because she didn't dress in a turtleneck while gracing us with Whitney level vocals, she was deemed a "bad influence". I remember despite her talent she always had this stigma perpetuated by the patriarchy that she was outrageous and how could she be corrupting the poor innocent children whose parents could not reach the remote in time to change the channel away from this harlot who was sent up by Satan to..... I don't really know, that's basically where the argument ended.

For me, as a closeted insecure 13 year old, I was so impressed by her. She didn't compel me to do anything that adults may view negatively; rather I was just in awe of her stage presence and music that rose above anybody else who tried to imitate her (I love them but Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, etc were all trying to duplicate the Britney vibe without success). 

I really wish she would come back in a way that she wants because I know she has the creativity and drive to make it happen, and I wish the people who only judge her by her Instagram knew what a formidable force she was at her prime.

That “Remembering 2002” video got to me.  There was something truly magical about that year.

My childhood 

I'd give anything to go back to the late 90s and early 2000s.

Things were better back then.

The exact same happened to Madonna; she had a huge career and ultimately, became an ICON.

They are HYPOCRITES.
