Y2K is shortened from The Year 2000, Y stands for Year 2 stands for two and K stands for kilo which means 1,000 and 1000 to the second power is 2000. Thus, Y2K represents the fashion trend in the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s. Highlights of this fashion trend are colorful clothes and many accessories as a prop. The accessories which we have seen quite clearly is a big head phone hanging around the neck. Or dress in low-waist pants, short-cropped shirts, loose-cropped tops, or fit-cropped tops with a screening of big cartoon characters, and jeans skirts to add more hotness and coolness to the 2000s style.
Y2K is not only used with fashion, but also used to call the incident during the year 1999 to 2000. It was an event that everyone was excited about because it was a step across the millennium or the cross step of the 1000th anniversary, which did not happen easily, causing a greater celebration than usual. As well as new global changes in systems and technologies, this event is set as the Y2K event.
At present, the internet is widely accessible everywhere which makes people in the modern time want to know about the past. There are also famous stars and models in the fashion industry dressed in this style, such as Milli, Bowkylion and Bella Hadid, until it is known and has been famous till the present. It also made us think about the old atmosphere in the 2000s.
Y2K is more than a fashion trend. In the present, the word Y2K is used to add at the end of the favorite phrase to be more beautiful wording. For example, this papaya salad shop is so Y2K, the price of this pair of shoes is so Y2K, and this hairstyle is Y2K. Including the Y2K posture which is receiving a lot of attention right now. This posture is about showing your 2 fingers with a little tongue sticking out of your mouth. Including taking a picture with flash light on, lower natural light from a high angle which is a popular trend to take a selfie in 2000’s.
