About Y2K:
Y2K, an abbreviation for year 2000, is a zeitgeist of the late 90s and early 2000s with its peak years being 1993 to 2003. With the rise of technology and the dot-com boom, the Y2K aesthetic embodied concepts of utopias where technology solved all problems, but also the panic that arose from the future (think the Matrix). It drew inspiration from the rise of the internet and the seemingly endless possibilities of the tech world. Characteristics that categorized the look included blob-like forms, translucency and iridescence—traits that can be seen in fashion today.
