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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, I agree. We knew what cool was but kids seem to have lost it somewhere along the way. Though not really same old, older generations were also weird.
Man I feel lucky to have grown up in the brief period where kids were cool, what are the odds?
Emo is all cringe, but scene girls are still hot.
Alt is hot. Emo, scene, goth, they’re all hot.
Maybe I’m just biased as a millennial, but Scene was definitely a way cooler vibe overall than whatever it is zoomers and alphas are doing.
And no why would me having a crush on every scene girl in my highschool affect my opinion on this dont be silly.

What type of fashion is Y2K?
Is it matrix-grunge?

This is labeled as “Y2K Grunge”:
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.

True. Especially for the first and third pics. The other ones are more realistic.
I think all the pics might be ads for tweens though.

Yeah this is definitively just the same old “what we did as kids was cool but what the kids do now is not”

Can’t tell if goth or emo in black and white photos.
It’s certainly either emo or scene based on their hair. My ESPN tells me they’re scene.
So technically (pushes up glasses) the picture tells us nothing of their music’s tastes so all you know is how they dressed
Emo and goth are different mindsets, not just musical tastes.
I’m not either, so my pics won’t be as entertaining in 20+ years.
But emo and goth transcended music and became a lifestyle. Like country, it’s music and a location.
Well I’m pretty sure they’re not the Jethro Tull type
Goth girls are hot. Emo girls, not so much.
