y’all be tryna gate keep the entire era of y2k when literally so many different types of groups contributed to it, so here are SOME of the different styles y2k has to offer, a thread hoę:
first of all y2k is specifically a futuristic type of fashion sense. but since social media permanently changed the definition, let’s get into the other looks then! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💃🏾" title="Tanzende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Tanzende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
black peoples impact is undeniable https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💅🏾" title="Nagellack (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Nagellack (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">an era where hip hop and fashion meets https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag"> also very east coast/nyc influenced in particular, chef kiss 10/10 across the board btch!
we also have the super sexy video vixen y2k aesthetic, very southern influenced, naan one of u hoes touching them!!!
lil kim deserves her own slot bc without her where would any of us be?????
then there’s the popular general fashion trends of the early 2000s! it’s giving Lizzie McGuire!!
also britney deserve her own slot yes ma’am
and my baby xtinaaa hispanic queen i literally stan
y2k punk fashion, chewed tf down!
imagine not giving my girl avril her own slot????
and pink!!!
we can’t ignore the impact the white girls and their bimbo barbie rich girl y2k style had and still has to this day!
thee literal queen, who’s seeing her??? no one??? exactly.
then we have the jersey shore ed hardy oonts oonts btches!
and honestly without these gworls would y’all be putting bears flowers and candy on y’all’s nails rn????
honorary mention: harajuku girls
moral of the story, the spectrum of y2k is broad. we can speak on our impacts obvi but we can’t gatekept an ENTIRE era, now let’s go touch some mf grass..
that being said, the y2k inspired looks black ppl are doing now is very tailored to us & how we express fashion hence why when a yt person dresses the same way, it looks weird lmao.. but there are so many y2k styles, u can tailor it to YOU rather than copying what fits us.
now last but NEVER least,
NIGERIAN Y2K / NOLLYWOOD BABES
the founder, the creator, the blue print, you bitches could never, will never, and should never https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✋🏾" title="Erhobene Hand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Hand (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😹" title="Katzengesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Katzengesicht mit Freudentränen">
and let’s not forget the nollywood y2k boys!!!
so yeah, the end, i love all the looks served during that era and don’t mind giving all groups their flowers!
