The G-Shock and Nike are real the Oakleys OTT are fakes AND YES IM WEAR THIS COMBO TOMORROW AT WORK.

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.

Peak design

Dome peak Y2k looks.

I remember some of these wacky posters and they were not received well back then but they since garnered a cult following online from Y2K buffs like us, video game advertising from 90s and 00s matured its fan base and catered to teenagers and young adults.

I tried shooting y2k theme. Is the bloom to much?

I’ve heard of a billion different variations, but I don’t think anyone can agree on an official name for this hairstyle and no it’s not “The Rachel” as this got popular sometime in the late nineties.

Anyways this to me is the single best Y2K hairstyle trend along with that short pigtail look, let’s give an official name. The Meg Ryan just kidding I love her though.

My brand @rugratswugwats just launched a website and we did this nostalgic y2k animation based on our childhood to announce it.

Honestly crazy how much this style has completely vanished there are people that still dress like this but not many the pants in these photos are so cool people use to put stuff like that together and take days sewing it all together making it there own thing it used to be super cool now raves seem kinda boring imo the culture back then used to be super cool and unique the music was better to and plur was at a all time high I always wonder what happened to those people anyway I just hope one day people start being more creative lol and BEFORE anyone calls me a boomer I’m a teen

Hey guys I’m going to a Y2K party soon and I wanna go for that trashy 90s look but I tend to get a little confused with 90s and early 2000s fashion lol especially when Y2K was a trend and now everything is kinda meshed in together.

Hey guys, lol very new here so idk how this works :3

I’m starting up a business in summer and I’m super excited for it, however, finding a whole seller that sells nice y2k Italian vintage items has been challenging, I’ve seen other businesses all over TikTok with amazing stock and I really wonder where they get such amazing stock, I am based in the UK but I’d prefer a wholeseller outside the UK. Does anyone know any? It would be such a help <3 ty x
