Well, summer is within spitting distance, so prepare for a new record. :)
The dot-com burst was a recession too.
Oh, and you are ignoring the entire thing where every currency except the dollar was destroyed in the 90s.
Also, history ended in 1986. It seems you didn't get the memo. It would have been typed and nailed into your local clipboard.

Y2K wasn't that bad compared to the rest
In hindsight. There was some degree of hysteria at the time, which prompted ended at the turn of the millenia when planes did not fall out of the sky and computer systems did not all fail in unison.
Nothing personal, I try to correct this view everywhere I see it.
Y2K didn't happen because a lot of talented engineers worked their asses off to prevent it from happening. It is the bane of IT people everywhere that the working state of the systems they create and maintain is being taken for granted by the public, with barely a thought givem to those who fight bugs, spam, cyber attacks and pure entropy every day. It is in fact a minor miracle of engineering that we're even having this conversation.
God(or whatever metaphysical force you subscribe to) guard the engineers. Of all types.

There was that one guy who got charged $60k in late fees at blockbuster though.

If anything it was a misdirect.
When the world/news goes crazy, it's probably not actually that bad. Surprise mothetfucker!
Whenever I hear a new term I have to figure out if it's really that bad, or just made up nonsense.
Comparatively, sure it's small potatoes.
