I was born 94, vividly remember 9/11 on the news and being annoyed no cartoons were on. I remember the turn of the millennium but not specifically about Y2K
You would've been in first grade during school hours lol, why would you have expected cartoons?
Edit: I forgot timezones exist lol
I'm from the UK so it actually happened more in the afternoon. The one thing I don't remember is if it was after I finished school normally or if we were sent home earlier. I think it was the former though
IMO if you were American, you would remember it for being traumatizing rather than for disrupting your cartoons. I'm about the same age as you and it had a huge impact on everyone I knew.
