- I just remember being that cringy kid
in elementary school, being like, "I can do the dance."
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) We're gonna see if you know some 2000s music.
- Yes! Yes, I love 2000s music.
- I'm always ready to see if I know 2000s music,
but I'm never ready for the hate that I get
when I don't know it.
- I did well on the last one, so I'm hoping this time
it'll be more 2000s songs I'm familiar with.
- I feel so sad because 2000s music is my weakest decade by far.
- Okay, so, I mean, 2000s music, I guess since I lived through the era,
I'll maybe know a little bit more.
- Even though I listen to a lot of music,
I grew up the most to 2000s music, so this is my place.
- Well, I'm gonna try my best, so hopefully I get some.

- Oh, wait. Who's the artist, though?
- It's songs like this that make me really want to learn
how to play the drums, just rocking out with the drums
sticks in your hand, and you're just going all crazy.
- I feel like every 2000s song sounded like this.
- Oh! I wasn't expecting this.
This is a great way to start it off.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - Dang, I forgot their name.
- I don't know who it is, but I've heard the song.
- I do not know the name or the artist.
- I think it's called "Welcome to the Black Parade."
I don't know the artist.
- "Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.
- (FBE) This is "Welcome to the Black Parade,"
and it's by My Chemical Romance. - My Chemical Ro-- oh my god!
I just get so frustrated when I know them
because I've heard of them and I grew up with it,
but it's like I just can't put it together.
- (FBE) According to the lead singer, Gerard Way, "The Black Parade"
is the patient who dies of cancer at an early age.
In this song, the patient is dying in his hospital bed,
and his journey to death is the black parade.
- Aww, dang, that's crazy grim.
That paints a really dark picture in your head,
but, I mean, what an anthem to go out to.
- I always say this, but I really like it
when songs do that, when they actually have meaning.

- (FBE) Aly and AJ are sisters, but they got their start
on the Disney Channel.
Aly got her start on the show Phil of the Future,
and AJ appeared in the movie Cowbells.
- I feel like a lot of stars got their start
on the Disney Channel, like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez,
like, all of them.
- "Potential Breakup Song" completely had me mad
at an ex-boyfriend that I never even had as a 10-year-old,
but it was still such a good song.

I got one right.
- I just remember being that cringy kid
in elementary school, being like, "I can do the dance."
- 2000s was, for some reason, really known for having songs
that always had dance moves coordinated with them,
so Soulja Boy was just one of those most memorable ones,
where everybody knew how to dance to it.

- I feel like back then we didn't really pay attention
to the lyrics and actually notice how deep and dark
these songs are, but now that I'm actually smart enough
to listen them, like, oh crap, this is definitely probably
some dark stuff for some middle schoolers.

I feel like I'm gonna know the name. I don't know who it is.
- I don't know this, so, no. First time hearing it.

but I don't know the artist.
- Can I guess the title? "Vindicated."
- (FBE) This is called "Vindicated," and it's by Dashboard Confessional.
- I have never heard of them.
- (FBE) Dashboard Confessional front man Chris Carrabba
wrote this song for the movie Spider-Man 2.
- That's why it sounds familiar. Okay, that's funny.
That's gotta be a cool gig, writing a song for such a big movie.
- Love those old movies.
They're not that old, but I love the older Spider-Man
better than Garfield and Holland. Sue me.

It's by Timbaland, featuring One Republic.
- Oh! Right, they were featured in it.
Okay.
- Is it "too late to apologize" that I got it wrong?
- (FBE) It's just "Apologize." - Ye-- you-- but it's the--
- 2000s music, when that's something that you've grown up with
and you listened to as a youngin' and then now,
that's where you really get thrown back.
- Coming into here in a controlled place,
where I'm able to listen to them one-by-one,
it kind of really hits me a little hard
and makes me realize, wow, no matter how different it is,
this music is still beautiful.
