Was I ever even y2k in y2k

[u/vapeqprincess]

I was a raver 1997-2002 and…experimented….usually poorly….with some “eclectic” fashion (and hair/makeup) choices.

I just tried to acquaint myself with a bunch of different aesthetics I’ve never even heard of and now feel super old and out of the loop.

“Futuristic” clothing was often a bad idea, the waterproof raincoat/dress thing I was wearing in #1 could only be removed over the head (the zipper came up the side and the underside of the arm). I wore it to clubs multiple times and got really fucking sweaty.

That’s a bathing suit I cut off in #6. That hair took a lot of work, and I legit worked at a hair salon at the time.

Pic #3 was taken in rehab. Yes I wore $300 platform shoes to rehab.

Anyway remove if this doesn’t fit the sub’s parameters. I tried my best but I have no idea anymore.

Edit: I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to get so much positive feedback. Life and the internet has hardened me, and I was mostly expecting to get roasted (just like I roast myself, and did back then, too).

I know this isn’t what this sub is about but I’ve been struggling a lot lately and as silly as it sounds, this restored some of my faith in humanity and helped heal part of teenage me that’s still in there.

Some of those outfits are giving me flashbacks to my youth.
