Scientists say our power grids and technological communications are under threat in the new Solar Cycle, which begins in 2020. *Even landscape architecture stayed consistent within this technological Utopian realm.Īlthough Y2K fashion was mostly reserved for going out, most 2000s fashion was heavily influenced by globalization, fast-fashion, and actively driven by online shopping that was now available to shoppers all over the world.Īre we in for another rendition of the Y2K era and all that it cultivated for us? This was also due to the attainability and refinement of curves through the use of digital image manipulation. This set the precedent for bubble pop and other digital themes which had amassed throughout media and advertisements. America remains to be the most powerful economy in the world due to the happenings of the Cold War and the events that led to the end of the economic terror it caused its citizens.įine-tuned with the theories of technological determinism, the trend of new pop stars, fashion, and even digital sound analogs were first introduced and born of this era. Americans championed innovation and abundance, while the Soviet Union viewed Americans as materialistic and rapacious. Imaginably, these themes can be attributed to the ‘peace and prosperity’ collective consciousness that had transpired after the Cold War had ended in 1991. Before this was a period in which Americans had advocated for free-market capitalism, in contrast to the Soviets who firmly held communist belief systems. Implications of an unapologetic chauvinism with an alien-like futuristic undertone ensued. With strappy, metallic, reflective suits that you would sport in extraterrestrial laboratory experiments (should an alien abduction happen), these textures are indubitably entwined with an alluring theme of intricate beauty to showcase the female body which acutely nods to a sort of "femme bot" sex appeal.
However, velvet technological visions of opulence appeared mutually endless among both Generation Y and Z, and that which had come to pass: the Y2K era of 2000-2009. These ingredients were key components to envision all that this era had embraced (or for Gen Y, had endured).Ī comment that can be seen on the Instagram account reads “I was like 14 and my bedazzled blackberry cover said “sexy”.” The Y2K fashion craze faultlessly blended the era of Gen-Y, those 25 and older, and the new coming-of-age generational wave of preteens embracing all the unfathomable technological prosperity that the future clearly held in store for them.Ĭounterculture in the ’80s had successfully influenced the industry with overconfident, overwearing, egotistical undertones that seemed acceptable for those of all ages to adapt. This moment in time altered the late '90s fashion trends and successively influenced the Bratz Doll and Mean Girls aesthetic coming into the early 2000s.
It's now coming back with a reckoning as we enter into a recharged decade with double digits, symbolizing a newly discovered modernized milestone into the latest century.īright with technological Utopianism and rose-colored glasses (I don’t mean metaphorically speaking), the babies of the ’80s were just coming out of the Cold War.
Y2K Fashion is virtually about bold, ornamental compositions aligned with an Area 51 affectation.
