Britain in the noughties 

Millenium Dome, Reality tv - Big Brother, Strictly Come Dancing, Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Jackson dies, Avatar, Titanic and Harry Potter. Arctic Monkeys and other independent bands cut out middle man, launch of youtube, facebook, twitter, social media...

Little Britain, youth films Bullet Boy, Kidulthood, This is England, Fish Tank, Harry Brown, Eden Lake all very negative representations - Angus Thongs and perfect snogging in 2008 one of the exceptions?
