Currently, Zoomers and Gen Alpha are really into Y2K. So give it a couple of years, and Scene and Emo will be back in fashion and this will be considered peak cool parents photos.
What type of fashion is Y2K?
Is it matrix-grunge?
I wish. It kinda falls into like some kind of Bratz-core or something, in my opinion. There's a handful of outfits I see that wouldn't have looked out place in a high school in 2000, but a lot of it feels like Temu ripping off Hot Topic vibes. A lot of jeans that wish they were JNCOs, some cargo pants, plenty of crop tops, and zip-up hoodies. The closest I could find to Matrix anything in a quick search were a couple of outfits that wouldn't look out of place at an MCR concert.
This is labeled as "Y2K Grunge":
Who doesn't enjoy a nice pair of flares/jeans with the bottom all frayed where you've walked on it, and wet up to your knees because that's the reality of weather.
Ooooh. I knew a y2k grunge girl in the early 2000s. My sister.
Bottom style just looks like "girl grunge".
Basically most of those wouldn't be out of place in highschool in the 90s/2000s I guess.
Yeah, the weird part for me is that some of these are like "celebrity fits," so it's like teenagers to mid-20s adults wearing what the fashion industry thinks 90s - 2000s high school kids wore, as high fashion. Like if people started doing photo shoots and runway walks in skateboard kid outfits. It feels as incongruent as when companies sell ripped t-shirts for $2,000.
True. Especially for the first and third pics. The other ones are more realistic.
