Where does the Y2K trend start?
With the first 9x and generation 8x, 7x … perhaps the name Y2K is really familiar. So familiar, but not many people can describe exactly what this phenomenon is. Just know that, it has caused the world to be fidgety in December 1999. The acronym Y2K was created by programmer David Eddy in 1995. In which, Y is Year, K is Kilo (an international unit of measurement for multiples greater than 1000), so 2K means is 2000. In other words, Y2K is the name of a "disaster" related to the computer system of mankind.

The name Y2K started to popularize in the late 1990s, when people were both frightened and excited by the development of technology. For many, the year 2000 meant the beginning of a brand new era, a time of prosperity, and for some it was the end of the world. So the culture in the late 1990s was shaped by luxury consumerism, hoarding designer inventories and chasing future trends through clothing. Streetwear clothes and outfits from this period were decorated with sparkling glitter, designer logos printed large and clearly, and tight-fitting skirts.

Why is Y2K "hot" back?
The cyclical nature of fashion trends is to take old trends from previous decades and change them for the times. From the 70s-90s, the famous street fashion trend was the inspiration for all today's clothing.
A deeper reason may be because we are facing the same pressures as in the 1990s: "The Covid -19 pandemic and the problem of storing food to survive." As well as relying on social media to overcome this difficult period. Bright colors, glittering glitter, tight crop top, the positivity from outfits as a "shield" is safe for us when faced with the current world.
Or simply these colors and details help to feel less bored. Whatever the reason, the Y2K style has returned spectacularly as well as erased the fashion world in the past 2-3 years.
