2000 (song)

"2000" is a song by the American alternative rock band, Garbage. It was included as a B-side on several editions of the band's 2001 single, "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)", and can be found on the promotional CD single and the UK limited edition vinyl single. It was written by band members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig, and produced by Garbage.

The song is characterized by its driving beat, distorted guitars, and Shirley Manson's breathy vocals. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic, hinting at themes of futurism, disconnection, and the changing landscape of society at the dawn of the new millennium. "2000" maintains a darker, more industrial sound compared to the poppier elements found on some of the tracks from Garbage's Beautiful Garbage album, from which "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)" was taken.

While not considered one of Garbage's major hits, "2000" is a well-regarded B-side among fans, praised for its unique atmosphere and showcasing the band's experimental tendencies. Its unavailability on major streaming platforms and inclusion only as a B-side has contributed to its cult status within the Garbage fanbase.
