Y2K: Visions of the Future
en
A subreddit about Y2K (also known as Cyber Y2K, Futuristic Y2K, or Kaybug), an aesthetic that was prevalent in pop culture from 1998 to 2004 and, to lesser extents, 1997 and 2005. We also allow posts that aren't futuristic or sci-fi, but have late 90s to early 2000s vibes. Early Frutiger Aero and Metro (pre-2009) posts are allowed as well.
In 1999, on the verge of a new century, there was a bright and optimistic view of the future. The y2k aesthetic is an almost retro-futuristic style. It was born out of the resurgence of 60s modernism and futurism in the 90s and 00s.
