    End of the dot com bubble.

    But it happened mostly in 2000:

    And coincidentally 9/11

    The September 11 attacks also contributed heavily to the stock market downturn, as investors became unsure about the prospect of terrorism affecting the United States economy.

      Was the 2002 a year of recession? Or is the stock market downturn considered a recession because rich people lost money?

        Unlike wealth, losses usually trickle down. When companies go bankrupt their employees loose their jobs. Millionaires actually love recessions, Jack Welch said:

        Never miss out on an opportunity like a good recession.

        The 2002 recession was not as global and universal as later ones. The dot com bubble mostly affected tech companies, and the internet was not as common as nowadays. I asked my parents once how they felt that recession, when I first read about it later, I was in school in 2002. They said they didnt even know there was a recession that time, in eastern europe it wasnt noticably worse than the chaos of the 90s

        There is a simpsons episode about the bubble, s13e18, aired in 2002:
