The first quarter of this century is over at the end of 2025.
2001 was the first year in this century. 2025 is the 25th year in this century. 2100 will be the 100th - and last - year in this century.
(1 was the first year in the first century, 100 was the 100th - and last - year in the first century. That's why every subsequent century starts on xx1 or xxx1 as well)
So 2000 was still 2nd millennium?
Don't you remember all the pedantic asshats saying that 2000 wasn't a new century? "There was no year zero!", "People just want all the digits to change!", "You're celebrating a year early!"
They've now moved on to "water isn't wet, it makes things wet".
I guess it's nice they want to be smart at least, even though their idea of smart is to copy some bit of pedantry they saw someone else do.
