I guess for music it also depends on the genres. For me 90s is ancient, since it’s basically the beginnig. 2000s is old classics with a sound that isn’t really produced anymore
2000s was the era of Mainstream Hardcore and Classic Hardstyle
These genres are to some degree based on flopped synthesizers from the 80s, like Roland TR 909 and Roland Alpha Juno. Which made it possible for normal people to play around with that hardware in their free time due to low prices
edit: in 2000s DAWs became more accessable, which changed the sound and gave more people the possibility to make music on their own on their home PC
Ahhh I see. you are speaking of the electronic bleep blorps! Yeah, I mean electronic one could argue started in the 70’s as well but yes.
Also I’m not sure that hardware was ever that low priced. Good hardware has always been spendy. But anyone could still make that music today if they wanted to . The synths are still around. Propellerhead reason is still out there for free if you wanted.
I couldn’t find how much the prices actually dropped, but my understanding is that it originially was on the cheaper side of that hardware and then must‘ve been thrown out by the studios who got them, who made them quite cheap second hand for the automation they could do

I’m confused at this comment, but recorded works have been around since the 1800s.
“Modern” techniques started in the early 70s for recording and multitracking.
I’m a little scared if you think 2000s is classic. Its also one of the worst sounding eras in music history because of digital brickwall limiting.
Random example of a 2005 song that could have come out yesterday and would sound right at home with its amount of limiting
