Draft:Y2K (aesthetic)

Y2K refers to a loosely defined art movement and fashion trend that emerged in the 1990s and has since seen a mass revival in the 2020's as an internet aesthetic.

Originally, Y2K as an internet aesthetic retrospectively referred to a retrofuturistic art movement, characterised by metallic materials, blobjects and reflective clothing. As the term Y2K garnered mainstream attention over the course of the 2020s, this term has since expanded to refer to 2000s fashion in general ; the former definition of Y2K is sometimes known as Cybercore to differentiate itself from the latter.
