It is curious how a generation that didn’t even live the 00s consciously, is starring in its comeback; drinking from all its trends to turn them into the great aspiration, beyond aesthetics. Let’s talk about how generation Z is driving Y2K nostalgia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From Bad Gyal’s “Flow 2000<\/strong>” to Miu Miu<\/strong>‘s latest collection. Today it all harks back to those wonderful years when thinking positively about the future was still an option. Times when we were relegated to hedonism and living a carefree youth, without having to experience the social anxiety of the hyper-modern era, or go out to protest against the climate crisis or lgbtphobia.<\/p>\n

The 2000s were all that, but they were also years in which the culture of toxicity was erected as pop, without us even being aware of it. The horror show of celebrity culture, paparazzi stalking and sitcoms developed from a heteronormative and misogynistic lens were part of the structural problem. It was all accepted without batting an eyelid.<\/p>\n

\"Britney<\/p>\n

The 2000 phenomenon<\/strong>, already taught by the school of the new generations, has now seen, beyond the Free Britney movement, Kim<\/a><\/strong> joking about her sex tape on SNL<\/strong> or the Scary Movie reboot, a general desire on the part of the Millenials to escape to “better” and “less oppressive” times. From this springs a general desire on the part of Millenials<\/strong> to escape to “better” and “less oppressive” times when the concern was equally between tuning in to Mean Girls for the fourth time or applauding Paris Hilton<\/strong>‘s politically incorrect jokes.<\/p>\n

Being aware nowadays of the whole reality of having to fight against a thousand social problems leads us to develop this feeling of nostalgia, to return to a superficiality in which we didn’t have to pretend to be happy.<\/p>\n
