CHRISTINA AGUILERA RULED 2000S MUSIC AND THE Y2K ERA ESPECIALLY DURING DIRRTY DAYS WITH THE ICONIC CHAPS!

This is the La La Land era… so interesting that the bling era nostalgia began while we were all quarantining during a pandemic just before an economic disaster

Normani wild side was very y2k inspired and I love it

Great take on these things. Thanks for sharing!

3:33 just right of center in this shot is a genuine "Peaky blinder" with flat cap at an angle to show off his quiff. Great little history lesson thanks. I've actually recently made the shift from tie-dye and bright colors to more restrained Edwardian-influenced clothing but I'm by no means adverse to adding a bright paisley Ascot cravat or a gaudy tie to me outfit!

Definitely The OC for fashion especially Marisa Cooper and Summer Roberts

As I grew up in the late 90s early 2000s I remember all of this being popular. My favorite movies taking big inspirations was Disney movies like Pixel Perfect and Zinon space girl

I will say that technically the Y2K aesthetic started far earlier than the Y2K bug, that just was part of what helped provide its name. What really started it was electronic music and rave clubs in the early 90s that spread to other bits of pop culture from there. It's such a 90s-rooted aesthetic its crazy that people consider its to be a 2000s aesthetic, it's like saying the Memphis style is a 90s aesthetic despite being just like the Y2K aesthetic: being born early in the prior decade and essentially dying early in the next.

Even in the 90s I really like men fashion. Especially the cute crop tops

If you think that women's fashion is boring, then what about men's? Women's clothing is creative and beautiful, men's is minimal, dull and flat.

Awe Kobe ❤😢

How and why is this the first video that comes up if you youtube "understanding y2k" ? There is really no better research than this? wtf ?

man I wish we had transparent technology today...

AESTHETICSEXPLAINED copied your video

this vid was amazing!!!

The best analysis on the topic I’ve seen so far! And I absolutely agree with the conclusion here - the year 2000 feeling can’t be replicated. People really were extremely optimistic about technology and everything related to the point of it being naive. I really like your assessment of this. It’s absolutely expert!

My hands dropped

Y2k is medicore and no aesthetic can fix that

The y2k aesthetic is now renamed to "Cybercore" due to the semantic shift.

Low rise jeans ARE back, but not in the way they were in the 2000s. A lot of low rise stuff are either baggy or straight, not like the super skinny jeans that were popular back then.

My Super Sweet Sixteen that came out on MTV in 2008 was peak McBling. I was 16 in 2008 and had a sweet 16 with a limo and party at Dave & Busters. I got a limo because that bling lifestyle was a thing. I was born and raised in OC where the MTV show Laguna Beach is set. The Hills was on in 2008. So living in OC as a teen in 2008 meant you needed to participate in McBling to be cool, so a limo for your sweet 16 elevated your coolness factor.

The Y2K bug wasn't really as big of a threat as people made it out to be. A lot of it was news hysteria and government facilities running old IBM computers from the 1960s lol. Most businesses and all PC were not affected by this problem. When that code was originally written in the 1950s/60s they didn't think those machines would still be running by the New millennium really underestimating how bad the government is with updating infrastructure lol.

These styles are not easy to get confused. But I guess its easy for me to see the difference because I was an adult already at the time. For me, the 2000s had a 70s style vibe with bright vibrant colors mixed with black and chrome. The late 2000s were blingy and bedazzled. Even those awful "affliction shirts for guys 🤢

Very cool! Thank you for the analysis and relevant cultural information

Good topographic overview, not much detailed analysis into the actual styles themselves. I have HISTORICAL CONTEXT now though!!

HUGE lil kim fan ❤

Jimi Hendrix was definitely the best dressed person of the 60s. There was a trend in the early 80s for wearing colourful gender bending clothes again with the new romantics movement in the UK (like the culture club, annie lennox and duran duran’s early years), which was really awesome, but unfortunately it didn’t last long.

All theze rappers bow down to the queen

The queen of all female rappers

She isn,t Queen of Rap but theoriginal fashionista for Nicki Copycat

I graduated High School in 1975. I remember the base uniform was faded flared jeans, Dingos(harness biker boots) or sneakers, wide belts w/ big buckles, and T shirts topped off with an open denim western shirt or a patterned shirt. The Ts could be plain white, solid colors, and/or classic graphics like your fav bands, or underground comics like Mr Natural/Keep on Trucking, etc. In the winter I wore a surplus Navy peacoat. Funny now that Im 66 yrs old and retired I dress pretty much the same. Jeans minus the extreme fading and flare, a more mid sized belt, and work boots or white sneakers.

And it bothers me so much when millennials get y2k wrong

This video is what I call being ahead of time, now this style is totally back, especially low rise jeans

Kpop groups like NewJeans, STAYC and XG are kinda revisiting the Y2k aesthetic right now though they add some modern twist to it. I think it's pretty cool.

Eve & Mary J's unique styles were called ghetto too.

Is sneakers with heels y2k?

Keep making videos, your channel should take off.

Saying “ ALL-e-Uh” instead of Aaliyah was triggering lol

The early 2000s are a repugnant time for culture

Let's not forget that Queen 👑 🐝 had a knockout body to carry out all theses iconic styles💖Just the 👑🐐

Wowwww, hearing you talk about the fall of the y2k aesthetic!!! The country really did lose its sense of optimism around that time. I felt it, but I never attributed that feeling to what you were describing! The results of the election, 9/11, and the Iraq War did paint that darker image for me as a kid. The collective trauma was/is so powerful. But also, I'm happy the bright futurism, bright colors, chromes, and metallic colors are coming around again! Just adds that bit of hope for the future, like you said. Awesome video, thank you for making these!!!

Actually the Y2K era began in 1998 not 1997 and great video.

Omg Brittany Murphy looks so pretty here
