I honestly do understand your point of view. But IMO the opposite is true. Y2k was the perpetuation of a fear by the media. While based on something 'real' the threat of apocalypse was not.

As far as 2012 there is at least 3 sources that I know of that have independently come to that date as some sort of moment of change in time. For me, as far as the potential for world-ending stuff, 2012 is more credible than Y2K.
