02/26/2019 PROS: "The 2000s" brought back a lot of good memories and made me pretty emotional. CONS: The music episode ignored perhaps the most important band of the decade, Radiohead, and probably the most influential rapper of the decade, Lil Wayne. In the future, when CNN writes its music episodes, it should consult people who were young during the given decade and who understand the zeitgeist of the decade better as a result.
