Two decades after its birth, Y2K is back on track and social media plays a big part on this.
Right now, we all know that Y2K was revived by the Gen Z, a generation too young to know and explore about Y2K fashion looks, with metallic jackets, bubblegum pink, and velour tracksuits, unique and innovative. It is now widely embraced and young adults are now growing nostalgic with cropped color tees and some baggy pants.
Its influence is not hard to find, to be honest—most especially when K-pop is taking over the world. Fans know it, that no one is doing it better that K-pop stars. From their most recent outfits and comebacks, one thing is for sure: Y2K is surely here.
