Don't forget Columbine. People always leave that out, but as far as historical milestones that shaped how awful American society has become, it was a big one.
My high school experience started with Columbine freshman year and ended with 9/11 senior year. Life has been so crazy.
Now we get one every week!

It's hard to even explain to people that there was a time when it used to be a very shocking thing to hear about.
"Back in my day, parents didn't have to send their kids off to school every morning pretending everything was normal, but internally struggling with anxiety they might never see them again."
We had some copycats here in Germany and of course Counterstrike or some other game was to blame. Not the very real weapons the people were shot with.
And Marylin Manson.
