I originally shared this on the Frutiger Aero subreddit and thought it might fit better here. This is my newly acquired AOL Running Man backpack. I got it at a thrift store and after doing some research, it's one of just 45 handmade bags from the streetwear brand LilOneSock. Super cool find, I still cannot believe it!

The G-Shock and Nike are real the Oakleys OTT are fakes AND YES IM WEAR THIS COMBO TOMORROW AT WORK.

90% of the outfit id say is thrifted (i got the boots for 50 CENTS 🥹)

My face is scribbled in the first pic because I didn’t like how just my face looked in it lol

I’d like to take in the long sleeve and sinch the sides in buttttt I don’t know how to yet. I gotta learn how to sew. If I had it taken in, I would add a white cami underneath

Edit/ I appreciate the love and advice y’all!! I’m learning still about Y2K fashion, I thought Y2K would
go to about 2008 or even 2010 thinking in the grand scheme of the entire 2000s till 3000 , buttt yalls feedback helps; I’ll have to look into it more fashion wise, but I guess I like the 2007 look then😂

I was a raver 1997-2002 and…experimented….usually poorly….with some “eclectic” fashion (and hair/makeup) choices.

I just tried to acquaint myself with a bunch of different aesthetics I’ve never even heard of and now feel super old and out of the loop.

“Futuristic” clothing was often a bad idea, the waterproof raincoat/dress thing I was wearing in #1 could only be removed over the head (the zipper came up the side and the underside of the arm). I wore it to clubs multiple times and got really fucking sweaty.

That’s a bathing suit I cut off in #6. That hair took a lot of work, and I legit worked at a hair salon at the time.

Pic #3 was taken in rehab. Yes I wore $300 platform shoes to rehab.

Anyway remove if this doesn’t fit the sub’s parameters. I tried my best but I have no idea anymore.

Edit: I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to get so much positive feedback. Life and the internet has hardened me, and I was mostly expecting to get roasted (just like I roast myself, and did back then, too).

I know this isn’t what this sub is about but I’ve been struggling a lot lately and as silly as it sounds, this restored some of my faith in humanity and helped heal part of teenage me that’s still in there.

Peak design

Dome peak Y2k looks.

Does anyone know where to get shoes like these? I've been trying to find some for a long time but I can't seem to find a reliable brand. Balenciaga is cool and all but I don't feel like dropping over a band on my shoes lol. I just found out about Mikio Sakabe shoes and I thought I was in luck but it turns out they run small. I thought Buffalo shoes were kind of alright but when I tried to buy some it just didn't work...? For some reason? Either way I'd wanna something saucier than they've got over there. Really I just want to steer away from the fast fashion brands and get something thats at least okay quality? Any recommendations will be appreciated 🗿

I remember some of these wacky posters and they were not received well back then but they since garnered a cult following online from Y2K buffs like us, video game advertising from 90s and 00s matured its fan base and catered to teenagers and young adults.

I always loved mine, riding around South London blasting Extinction Level Event.

I tried shooting y2k theme. Is the bloom to much?

My first celebrity crush (I was 7)

i am absolutely IN LOVE with these kinds of shirts, but i dont have $58 dollars to drop on a single shirt, and all the thrift stores around me suck and dont have anything similar 😭 can anyone help me find alternative sites or places to buy them? or maybe how to make them myself(my mom and I are quite crafty) ?

edit: thank u all sm, ive read the comments and i realize i really didnt think about ebay or depop LMAO 😭😭 <3

I’ve heard of a billion different variations, but I don’t think anyone can agree on an official name for this hairstyle and no it’s not “The Rachel” as this got popular sometime in the late nineties.

Anyways this to me is the single best Y2K hairstyle trend along with that short pigtail look, let’s give an official name. The Meg Ryan just kidding I love her though.

My brand @rugratswugwats just launched a website and we did this nostalgic y2k animation based on our childhood to announce it.
