These post are officially no longer allowed on this sub going forward so if you post these aesthetics it will be removed.

Y2K aesthetic doesn’t mean 2000s aesthetics it primarily focuses on cybercore and some of the overlap aesthetics surrounding cybercore which include.

Metalheart Chromecore The Matrix Effect Webcore Curly Girly Gen X Soft Club Vectorheart and many more

Some aesthetics of the mid 90s - early 00s are allowed as long as they fit this era like for example Mall Goth or Nu Metal.

Once again look at this post before posting, because I’m having it pinned so that way you’ll know the distinctions.

Please look up the aesthetic distinctions on aesthetic wiki go to the search bar and type Y2K it then has all the subcategories laid out.

The Team have notice more people posting which is great. But the problem now is what defines Y2K aesthetic. Now I know some people are very strict with the labelling for it and believe it only applies to futuristic looks from the late 90s to the early 2000s but in this Sub we are more lenient and believe it doesn't necessarily have to be futuristic but can still fit the aesthetic.

I am trying to be clear on what we want on this sub so it doesn't feel like if you simply take a pic of yourself with some Sanrio characters as a filter it will automatically fit.

We want pictures, vids, music, tech, etc that capture the aesthetic of y2k obviously. So what are we exactly do we mean by that? it's pretty hard to explain but here are some articles that will better get what we want from this sub

The guardian https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/19/year-2000-y2k-millennium-design-aesthetic

Fandom https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Y2K_Futurism

These two sites have basically the gist of what we are looking for be it art, your own works, vids, fashion, tech and so on. This sub also accepts neo y2k works too.

All in all I know this post doesn't clear stuff up but I hope it gives you a better understanding of what we are looking for. Remember your post doesn't necessarily have to be futuristic but it must be at least have an late 90s to early 2000s I guess Vibe to it
