1997
Clinton's second inauguration
1997 functions as a noun or adjective referring to the year between 1996 and 1998.
Like other years, it labels events, products, or vintages from that time: the 1997 Asian financial crisis, a 1997 Bordeaux, class of 1997.
In nostalgic contexts, it evokes late-nineties culture—the early internet era, particular music and films: That song is so 1997.
