"I'm 23 and in the last year or so i've see girls my age following trends like... Y2K, cottage-core, egirl etc. Is it sad for normie women pushing into their mid 20s to hop on trends like this or am I just being a judgemental bitch?"

"Further proof that y2k era was the last one where we wanted to predict the future of music, fashion, technology and culture instead of doing meta takes on the immediate present or post-ironically appreciating the past through "aesthetics""
"It may have ran slow, less intuitive, but it was cooler hands down. The Matrix, Cyber-babe pink fuzzy computer type shit, etc."
The Internet looked cooler when it was Y2K · u/_Zedd96 · ↑33 · 2021-11-18
