One year too early for the title? The 21st century started on 2001.

Plot twist: Centuries end in "0", they don't start in "0".
The 21st Century started 1/1/2001.
I don't feel like this is correct.

How so? The first century surely started with year 0, the first year. Just like a person is zero years old during its first year. And years 0-99 make up the first century. Then the second century starts at 100-199, and so on.

Correct.
The 1st century started at 1 A.D. and included 100. 2nd century started 101 to 200. Etc etc. If you change the 21st century to be 2000. You would to shift everything down. Eventually making the 1st century 99 years. Or creating a year 0 or using 1BC.

We can go at any time.

Babies don't start at 1.

Babies don't start at 1.
In many Asian countries they do if I am not mistaken but it irrelevant to when the millennium starts anyway

This is why all the years in the "20th Century" started with "19". 20 is the end, not the start.

There is no year 1 in our current calendar system either. The Gregorian Calendar begins in 1582. The Julian Calendar includes year 1, but changed in year 8, so 0001-01-01 is a slightly different day in the Gregorian Calendar, the Julian Calendar, and the old Julian Calendar. 2000 years after Julian Calendar 0001-01-01 is late December 2000.
This has less meaning in China because China used its own calendar until 1911. People living in China 2000 years before 2001-01-01 would not have called it year 1.

I thought it was the 20th century because if you count centuries starting at 1-99 CE, 1900-1999 is the twentieth one
One to 99 is not a century.
