What is Y2K Fashion?

Y2K means the year 2000.

The original meaning was actually an important bug when calculating the program’s processing date many years ago.

At that time, people who were about to enter the 21st century believed that this bug would paralyze the global infrastructure and set off a lot of trouble. And this kind of technological panic, which now seems rather interesting, adds more mystery to the special time period at the intersection of the millennium this century.

Later, with the real arrival of 2000, the Internet world full of mysterious charm gradually emerged, coupled with people’s expectations and yearning for the new century, contributed to Y2K’s unique style full of illusory futurism.

The above explanation may be a bit difficult to understand. We can understand by looking at the representatives of fashion in that period.

The most representative fashion figure of that period was Britney Spears.
