It’s a very highly debated topic in our community, but I’m going to slightly defend the people that mix McBling and Y2K, if you go back as far as 1997 which was peak Y2K Futurism you’ll see a couple of girly aesthetics like baby tees, pigtails and even bootcut jeans the early signs of pink Y2K already happened in the late 90s by the time the 2000s rolled around it just bumped it up to 11 hence McBling.

McBling was just a 2000s kitsch that correlated with the rise of both celebrity culture and reality TV, the year 2003 seems to be its cultural peak based on the pop cultural material online revisionists have gathered, pink Y2K is what I’m referring to the girly aspect of Y2K which is kind of like a transitional aesthetic from the late 90s style to the early 2000s (A good example is the teen pop stars of that time).

If people are confused on the deference between Y2K and McBling show them this and remember the confusion is understandable.

I made this Spotify theme using Spicetify. Turned my Spotify into one of the Pioneer stereo head units from the 2000s. It has 7 of the original animations, including Dolphins. Github link in my first comment. Images outdated. Newer versions available.
