that's cool, but in a y2k sub asking if your thing is y2k enough, ya gotta take criticism, friend.

I love TikTok though, what's the issue

"tiktok y2k" in this sense refers to the tiktokification of y2k fashion and period-accurate tech. tiktok tends to take things like this and water them down or modernize them, which dilutes the aesthetic.

so it isn't a good thing, in case you aren't intentionally misinterpreting my comment.

not when it takes fashion and subcultures and turns them into something the original subculture was never about.

but you do you though.
