9/11 definitely killed the Y2K aesthetic. Y2K represented what people imagined the 2000s to be, only to be quickly replaced with a surge of "MURICA" and military iconography one year into the millennia. People's vision of a perfect utopia was broken with the constant fear and war mongering of the "War on Terror".

For me Y2K is all about trance music, ace combat series, Nokia phones, Playstation, Oakley sunglasses, spiky hair, G-Shock watches, futuristic electronic bgm

My favorite trend was the semi-transparent electronics. From N64 controllers, to Tamagotchis, to computer peripherals. I also loved the late-60s/early-70s revival in everything, from Austin Powers to the Spice Girls. Also, I loved Jnco jeans. Oh and trance music. Seems like everything was better back then. 1999 was a peak year IMO.

It's very difficult for those that didn't live during this time to imagine the actual optimism and hope for the future, Y2K fear mongering notwithstanding. Can you imagine witnessing a new MILLENIUM !? Combined with the rise in new technologies afforded by PC's and the internet, it was clear that a new era was dawning leading to an explosion of creativity surrounding this aesthetic.

In art and design, nothing happens in a bubble. This was the culmination of 60's pop-art, op-art, 70's futurism, 80's Memphis, Minimalism, etc. I am an industrial designer and graduated in 1999. I am also a design teacher. This is the very best breakdown of Y2K ever. To me, this was the closest to a quasi art movement of the turn of the century, and it was magical to me. This whole thing runs deeply in my veins.

Crazy to think about the fact that Michael Jackson pioneered the Y2K aesthetic with his Scream Video in mid-1995. Dude was a whole 2 years ahead of the curve.

I think the Y2K aesthetic was more defined by the years BEFORE 2000 than after. It started in the mid-90s with the internet boom and anticipation of the new millenium, which was viewed as a futuristic event. As someone else said, it all died in 2001.

Y2K seemed like a really cool era to just be alive and exist within the culture. Someone made a great point in the comments on how 9/11 swiftly ended the potential of what Y2K could've been since the new culture was one of war and fear. We should bring this aesthetic back because even today, it still seems so futuristic

talked to a genz coworker recently. She only knew Y2K as a fashion trend, and not as the theory that computer systems would crash bc it wouldn't recognize 1999 becoming 2000. She was dumbfounded when i told her what the real Y2K event was. Never felt older lmao

The "Frutiger Aero" period is the evolution of this aesthetic. I think a video covering this period would be a great addition.

Personal web pages. I miss those. MySpace pretty much killed them. Before everyone migrated over to social media accounts, we each designed our own personal pages on sites like GeoCities, using clipart, backgrounds, and crude animations that seemed cutting edge at the time. We started with basic html and gradually worked in Java applets and links to Flash animations. There were blogging sites that were partially pre-formatted, but there was still a lot of creative flexibility. And then, once we were starting to learn programming language, suddenly everyone was instead setting up MySpace pages that had very limited customizability and a growing build-up of ad banners. Facebook and Twitter then took over, with cleaner looks, but the creativity was gone, and we were down to posting paragraphs of text and uploading pictures, rather than designing whole experiences.

I was born in 84 and started high school in 99. Art, music, tech, and movies made the world seem promising. Although everyday life was honestly bland in comparison, art and culture made the world look so big. Before the internet, your life was your neighborhood and town and you'd hear stories from Other Places, but the internet makes you realize how BIG the world actually is. I remember fondly this aesthetic (not even realizing it was an aesthetic at the time), making collages from my teen magazines, Teen People and YM, desperate for Delia's "futuristic teen clothes", wearing rave meets space clothing. We were very aware of the 70s as an inspiration for our fashion. We wanted bell bottoms, lava lamps, black lights, funky music, funky clothes, small shirts that had yin and yang and "groovy" on them, sci fi, platforms, athleisure, etc... Speaking of the 70s... Love, sex, and rock n roll. I also want to point out that the era was very sexual. And since our parents were teens and young adults in the 70s, most (I'm saying most, not all) of our parents weren't so scandalized by sex in our collective culture. And some of this to a detrimental effect - it was completely normal for girls to be sexualized and to date much older boys/men. I look back at many things back then and it's a big YIKES. (I still have some of my Yikes branded notebooks, by the way.) Rushing home to watch TRL because there wasn't a collective place to watch music videos and interviews with your favorite musicians besides MTV. The era seemed exciting and full of potential. I wish this era as the "love letter to the future" could have kept pace with us into our actual future. 😕 Great video but makes me sad to see how little our actual future represents the hope we had.

I was a young child during the transition from the previous millennium to the current one, and so I really do associate the Y2K aesthetic with optimism with regards to the future. It's funny how I can look back to those years and think of them as somehow being more "modern" than the ones that came after. The late '00s and early '10s feel a lot more "dated" to me.

That black, white and Dark blue aesthetic is how I view the entire year of 2002, always have.

I miss the electronics that were transparent so you could observe the components inside. We had a telephone like that, I loved that phone!

I'm 33 now and still stuck in this era. It's a huge part of my inspiration and aesthetic. 2002 was top teir in everything.

This is the official y2k aesthetic case study of KZfaq. The one and only one you’ll need to learn y2k. Awesome work brother. I enjoyed this vid with my breakfast

That description of y2k being so alien and otherworldly is ironic. I was born 1998 so I didn't get to experience it as the adult that I am now but I have faint memories of it and a kind of fascination and almost strange nostalgia for it. It's like remembering being in another reality which feels more distant when you look around in the one you are living in. I remember having a flip phone with those aero graphics, like o2 with their blue water theme. I remember silver being perceived as a cool colour. The 90's movies like X-Men and Men in Black. It was definitely a part of my early child-hood and I saw it as a form of escape from reality.

I can vouch for cds being magical to hold back in the 2000s. As a kid every time I’d pop in the matrix into our dvd player I’d marvel at how something as cool as movies and games could fit inside such a weird lil circle.

idc if i sound like a typical 90s kid reminiscing about the past, but the 90s and early 2000s were truly a magical time; great music, great movies, great fashion, great tech progression, great aesthetics.

I remember being about 11 years old in the 99' & everything feeling "futuristic". I am glad you pointed this out and I am not the only one. One of my fondest memories was sitting in my older cousin's Saturn (I mean even the car Brand name was about space/celestial object"). It first felt futuristic with the 3rd passenger suiciude door. Once sitting in there we were on our way to a friends house to play some games on the futuristic Sega Dreamcast, a video game console that had screens on the memory card that could go into your controller and actually went in the internet! On the way there I remember looking at the stars while listening to Sandstorm from Darude on a metallic looking CD and thinking about how we were in the "future". Edit: Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast really contributed to that future feeling with its aesthetics and being the first online console RPG.

'91 millennial here, thank you SO much for this video! As a person who deeply misses that decade, seeing your video popping out on my algorithm literally made my day... Damn, I almost forgot some of the trends from that era! Personally speaking, what I love and miss from those years is the general positive feeling about the future, the growth of technology in such a short timespan - I still remember how shocked I was when the ps2 was announced back in the days- and the fashion. Oh, and the music! Nowadays, I listen to all those from the past more than modern ones... Damn how I wish I could go back to those days!

I was born in 93, so I didn't get to be a teen during y2k. I still remember it grabbing my eye a lot when I was little. The silvery and space like and shiny and colorful and smooth. Really did something for my brain and was really fascinating to me. I was really drawn to games like ddr and music that was featured in it and the UI design style of those games.

I was born in 1975, and this look has aged really well to me, at least compared to the first couple of decades in my life. I grew up with wood paneling on everything, chrome would have been a dream.

The movie 'The Island' released in 2005 captures this aesthetic so well. I also think the y2k aesthetic is heavily linked to the 'frutiger aero' style of the mid to late 2000s, with the latter having more natural, organic visuals like grassy landscapes and wildlife (think windows xp wallpaper). Even as someone born in 2004, the y2k style and 2000s movies/music is very fascinating to me :)

early 2000's had amazing aesthetics.

For us millennials born before 1996 this was normal to us by the time it came out. I LOVED it !

I'm an '01 baby so I missed this, but my early childhood playing PS2, watching certain movies, and seeing some of it in things like science textbooks makes me incredibly nostalgic for a time I never really experienced. Love that Gen Z is kind of remixing it cause it needed a comeback!

i was born in '93, so being a relatively young kid when this was happening, i just thought of it as completely normal. like, this is how all pop artists and their album covers and music videos are just supposed to look! i also had one of those clear inflatable chairs, but, mine had a green stem intersecting the whole seat part, and a purple flower on top. i haven't seen any others like that haha

Thank you! always loved this aesthetic so much growing up but could never find any divisive videos covering it in depth also I've been kind of on a treasure hunt for as much media from this era that I could find so this is perfect timing

I was so young in this era, old enough to internalize what i was looking at but not old enough to participate in any meaningful way. Looking at my art now I can see im still holding onto the feeling this aesthetic moment gave me. Thanks for the essay! Really lit up a fire for this and got me thinking!

I know it’s not the same as it was used to be regarding y2k movement and aeathetics, but It’s making a come back in some forms and as a 90’s-2000’s kid I’m here for it. I’m strongly nostalgic about this. 😅❤

I love how thorough this video is. I feel like you really touched upon every point of the y2k era. I was a kid during the 2000s so I didn’t grasp the importance of the internet at the time, I guess I was too busy playing pinball on windows. Great video essay!

This video is WONDERFUL! Definitely sending it to everyone who calls mcbling "y2k" (Honestly it's SO frustrating to me when I search for y2k things and I see stuff from 2006-2008 lol). I turned 16 in 2000 so this era was absolutely magical for me. To be in one's teens during this "art movement" (and it really did feel like that) was so much fun. The Sega Dreamcast and its marketing was a huge part of it for me personally, I also got into asian pop music around that time and oh my GOSH did Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan really know how to do the y2k aesthetic! I was very much saturated with the look & feel of this era while it was happening. And that's not counting the emergence of the television channel ZDTV (later to become TechTV, and later G4TechTV after a merger, and then just G4..... boy that's a story) which was focused on technology at the time... I just left it on all day, basically! XD Thank you so much for the nostalgia trip, honestly the memories this video brought back are innumerable!

As someone who grew up and became an adult in this very era you absolutely nailed it. From the inflection point of the launch of the iMac to recognising the black artist and hype Williams influence of the era to just the grand overview that we may never have such a total blanketed art era again. Great insight all over and thoroughly enjoyed. I wish you many white wines in the future. You have earned them!

Unbelievably thorough analysis on this aesthetic. Please do 70s/disco/ colorful psychedelic aesthetic

I was born in 1989. It was such a interesting time to grow up. I'm glad I got to experience it. Before things changed to how they are nowadays. There was a sense of Retro-Futurism mixed with vintage vibes. McDonald's had Nintendo 64's, Blockbuster/Hollywood video, you could preview music before buying it. Magazines would come with demo discs for new games coming soon. There's so many reasons why the 90's ruled. Because it had a bit of a 80's vibe and attitude. Such awesome Aesthetics all over in such diverse ways. It was like "okay kids, go have fun, you might get hurt so watch out, but, have fun 👍🏻." Nowadays, it's like they completely got rid of any "fun, goof off, odd stuff." It's like everything is all modernized, minimalism, contemporary, bland, repetitive and if it doesn't make money 💰 then it's gotta go.. so all those old houses, old shops, drive in movie theaters, roller rinks, obstacle courses, bouncy houses, indoor fun zones with r/c speed boats, mini golf ⛳ with loops, bumper cars, ball pits, just weird random stuff. Random weird local shops, stores that you could play halo 1 on big TVs and link up LAN parties. Towns still had older run down sorta house's, duplexes, just unique "lower income living options ya know?") where I live they have literally gotten rid of all of that and just put in cookie cutter type places to live and everything costs ridiculous per month and everything is so bland and stale. I just miss the creativity, the quirkiness that's all. Being born in 1989 I was lucky to get to see the tail end of these things that aren't around anymore and I can't help but wonder what it must be like for kids that never got to experience the stuff the 90s kids got to experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Getting to be a teen when wild Boyz, jackass, CKY was a big deal 🤘🏻 a kid when Steve Erwin was literally my idol! Growing up on magic school bus, bill Nye the science guy, captain planet, X-Men the animated series, all the animated series tv shows. All the classic animated movies. Like it was the best time to be a kid and a teenager. It had such a Vibe.

Sega Dreamcast vibe, design, and everything felt so connected to the Era for me. Brings a lot of nostalgia for that time.

I'm probably biased from being born in 1994, but this is one of the best videos I've seen in a long, long time. Seriously well done!

I was born in 91. So this is right down my alley. Thanks for this nostalgia trip

Thank you for being one of the many talking heads on the internet who actually knows what Y2K is. Love this video!

I love the futuristic chrome aesthetic, maybe the world actually became super advanced and stylish in an alternate universe.

this is a great video. I actually watched it twice. Please make something like this for the aesthetic that came right after Y2K. All the optimism and perceived future wealth of the 90s evaporated once the wars started again after 911 and clothing and style became more dark. This also reflected on a lot of the music that came right after Y2K.

I'm obsessed with this era and stumbled upon your video by complete accident, excellent work mate!

As a '92 Millennial I ofc remember this. But it was very obvious when it came to a screeching halt. The late 90s early 2000s optimistic future died for many American Millennials when we had to deal with Columbine in 99, 9/11 in 01 and Columbia in 03. After those 3 events you basically felt like school safety, country safety, and science safety were not 100% secure. That said, it was a cool time before it ended. You did feel like you lived in the future. But EVEN at the time there was a level of performative future(aside from the CD's, Macs and DVD's. Those were actual improvements). The CGI was new but it wasn't destroying the 90s CGI yet(like Jurassic Park). The designs were future-y with the smooth curved shapes and the clear or chromed out appliances and toys. But we could tell a lot of it was cosmetic. There were no video phones, electric cars, drones or touchscreens or anything. It was a lot of 90s type of stuff given a retro-future(60s and 70s) overhaul. Anyway, good video and I agree with your thoughts at the end. Y2K was the last "total" aesthetic and we'll never see anything like that again because of the internet. Now it's microtrends that come and go. I don't think we'll have any more hardline 20/30yr nostalgia revamps either because once the 2010's are nostalgic there won't be anymore total aesthetics to copy. The world/Internet/social media really opened up everything in that decade onward.

Very nice video ! As a person who grew up in the Y2K era, I can't really describe what it is, but when something looks and feels Y2K, I just know.

I'm currently running a starfinder campaign set in a late 90's american city. This was very insightful even for someone like me who was there at the time. A truly magical time of optimism.

What I find so fascinating about the zeitgeist of the time, is that it was as if society in its entirety had wholeheartedly embraced aspirations of a utopia in which one transits through public/private architectural marvels by day and at night one sips cosmos in glossy lounges. As though collectively we'd abandoned all aspirations exceeding - today will be like yesterday, just better.

It's funny when I was growing up as a kid, I hated this style. It felt cheap to me, specially when electronics were painted in silver colors. But this video and pretty much all of Pan Pizza's channel has made me find an appreciation for the era and the aesthetics of it. Perhaps it's because of nostalgia and well, just growing up and having different tastes now. Then again, when we look back at eras we tend to look at the best of the time.

Seeing this all laid out like this is such a mind fuck. I really wonder where aesthetics are going now ? I am a jewelry designer and it feels like my work is so different from other contemporary jewelry atm. Your point about the decentralized world of aesthetic islands we all live on is extremely interesting! I would love to see a global aesthetic based around the human body as its primary driving force. Human centric, like how Frank Herberts Dune is a world completely dominated by the human scale. In doing so humanity grows to a new height. I would also kill to hear your ideas about the potential consequences of AI taking such a dominant role in future design. Incredible video!!!!

You should be so proud of yourself. I would be if I had made this video. I have always been interested in this topic, ever since I was able to conceptualize the shifting of/contrast between aesthetics, past to the present. Thank you for this interesting video that helps me reflect on my childhood and adolescence. I could cry just from feeling immersed in that time period watching this.

What a beautiful video, from start to end, you nailed it !!

This is one of the few aesthetic trends I was consciously aware of and possibly the only one I actually appreciated at the time. I was actually saddened that there would be a time in the near future that this style would no longer be in fashion. It's also jarring to remember how optimistic we could be back then compared to now, at least before 9/11.

Lived it. Was in my mid twenties during y2k. Interesting to hear the perceptions of someone who came along afterwards.

Now I understand why the Ultraviolet movie had such a weird look haha. I had never realized everything that was intrinsic to this aesthetic. I always remembered it as "what movies were like when I was little" without realizing how specific it is. Suddenly I can think of a large number of media that follow this aesthetic.

this is the single greatest retrospective on this era yet, thank you

THANK YOU for this video. I think after a couple of years of 2000s fashion being ‘in’, people are finally starting to learn what *genuine* Y2K is - I’ve certainly developed a new appreciation for it. There’s evidence to suggest elements of the fashion are making a comeback in 2023 but obviously we’re never going to have the full movement again. Which makes me sad as I was a young child and never really got to experience it 😩

I’m so glad you made this. Thank you!

Amazing, i can confidently say that this is the best aesthetic analysis video essay i've seen in a long time. Very vast, very throughout, and most importantly, very eye opening about some crucial details about this movement that a lot of people don't know of. I can only say, thank you, for making such an interesting dissection on a very important time period for design in general. Lots of love ✌

Yep, one of the aesthetics that stand out as particularly nostalgic and memorable to me. Was born '94 myself. It was everywhere, from music vids to movies, technology, interior and more

ok normally i don't leave comments on videos but i feel like i HAVE to say something. you are a very talented writer and speaker, and I can feel how passionate you are about this topic. i can also tell how well-versed and educated you are in the field of art and design, and how excited you are to share your knowledge with all of us here on youtube. this was such a pleasure to watch (and made me very nostalgic). this deserves so much more love and attention especially since i can tell how much time and effort you put into making it. i hope your channel gets the attention it deserves soon!! i'd love to see more content like this and i look forward to what you'll upload next :)

It was such a fresh look! I loved the PS1 and demo discs and Dreamcast and Mechanical Animals. I loved all the white and silver and coloured translucent plastics!

Great video! So glad I watched it entirely and your sincere appreciation for the era made it even better.

This was so good, love hearing about this side of y2k. What reminds me most of y2k is the movie zenon and the bubble bags. Caught up on your Dune video but had to watch the movie first loved that one too. ❤

I'm so glad I found this video. I could never put my finger on why so many parts of the Y2K aesthetic were the way they were, they just 'felt' right, but you put it in words and it's much easier to understand now

You've done a wonderful job with research into this video essay! Thank you!

This is so astoundingly well executed. I'm glad KZfaq finally got around to recommending it.

Absolutely amazing! My mind was blown watching this. Suddenly, so many things from my childhood made much more sense. Thank you so much for this!

It’s nice to see someone being just as (if not more) obsessed with this stuff as I am, haha. This video covered so much of what I’ve also been thinking & researching, and it offered a lot of new insights as well. Very impressed with your level of research and analysis! The way socio-economic factors influence pop culture and design is one of my biggest interests, especially when it comes to the ‘90s and ‘00s-as well as the’ 60s and ‘70s (since we can see so many elements from these earlier decades referenced or mirrored in the later decades, as you mentioned). I love that both space age and flower power aesthetics had their own reimagined versions in the millennium era. That “groovy”, kid-oriented version of Y2K is embedded into all my childhood memories, along with Groovival / Curly Girly kind of aesthetics. I’m actually currently working on a sort of research project/write-up about the films that came out in the year 1995-which in my opinion was one of the most interesting years in cinema history, mainly because it was such a watershed year for technology. I’m not sure yet if I’m gonna publish it as a letterboxd list or a blog or something, but when I do I’ll definitely link to this video!

Brilliant video! Actually I’ve never even thought this was a thing until I watched the video and fell into deep nostalgia and memories. This aesthetic was everywhere around us at that time. Thank you for bringing these memories and explaining in such an informative way, you really nailed it! ❤

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for your hard work!

I was born 1991, and was in elementary school during this period of time. I remember very well the aesthetic of this era. The music, the fashion, everything, I thought it was so cool! When I got to middle school (2002-2005), it all eventually seemed to disappear, and I was genuinely confused what had happened. As a kid, I thought it was there to stay! I literally had a mini depression for a small chunk of time in middle school, not to mention middle school was just plain rough, period. But now that I am 31, I understand styles and trends come and go, but I will ALWAYS remember this era very fondly.

Amazing video. This is why I find it so tragic when kids think anything that looks 2000s is “Y2K”. Also hearing you describe this all made me think of “the bean” in Chicago Millennium park, it makes so much sense

Absolutely amazing work man.

Incredible content, loved every bit of it!!

The 80s/90s and Y2K aesthetic holds a special place in my heart. This video gave me so much nostalgia. Now I want to get a lava lamp and some Oakley Eye Jackets. Subscribed.

Ultimate, thorough, complete, deep analysis of the Aesthetics that began with the new century. The way it was contextualized gives you a great understanding of the overall situation of those times. This was definitely a documentary my man, a great work of art, everything mixes perfectly 🤯 Big support from Italy! 🇮🇹

I’m glad this one popped off for you! Really enjoyed the video.

I love this video so much. The aesthetic, atmosphere and environment the 2000's had. Was everywhere and now a memory to when this was.

I was so drawn in and mesmerised by your narrating and storytelling it felt like a vaporwave album, not like listening to it, but being inside of it. What was an hour felt like a singular point in time. I spiritually want more. What about its direct progeny: "Frutiger Aero"?

Also, I still love CDs and DVDs. Streaming is convenient and all, but physical media just hits different.

This is an extraordinary video essay. Just so well articulated right the way through. Well done 👏

Amazing, amazing work. Thank you for this essay.

I loved the iMac's marketing. "sorry, no beige." **shows a top down photo of five orange imacs in a semicircular pattern as if its a citris fruit** "yum." **every available imac color** "no artificial colors"

Excellent video. I was at university studying a Bachelor of Multimedia Design at this stage. You are spot on with the idea of everything feeling utopian and futuristic. I loved the whole graphic design aesthetic and in particular crafting my own animated hud graphics for my university projects was essential. I loved my silver PVC nightclubbing jacket and the ruby red lenses in my Oakley style sunglasses. I still remember around 2002, the moment i saw the whole movement crash came when I was looking through a department store catalogue and saw the new season dresses for the ladies- They were in loose, flowing cottons, with generous, layered and angled cuts and all in organic oranges and brown floral prints. My mind had a little meltdown as I thought to myself - “this doesn’t fit”. All of a sudden the glorious futurism we were rocketing towards came crashing down, and like the Apollo moon program, I knew we were never going back.

Omg how have I missed ur videos for this long! I love this content !!!

Very tied into Afro Futurism. The first I remember seeing of this aesthetic movement was spearheaded by Hype Williams in videos he directed for various electro-RnB stars like Timbaland, 702, Missy Elliott, TLC, Mel B and Busta Rhymes.

This is an absolute love letter to one of the most interesting zeitgeists in my lifetime, one I remember only as a very young kid. Looking back the look and style was so innocent and humbling when looking at the corporatised, minimalist looks of today. It was all about being seen and being heard, nowadays it's corrupted by so much censorship and sanitisation that the optimism of the time seems so naïve.

Your content is wildly underappreciated, damn you have a talent! I missed Y2K aesthetics mostly because it wasn't much of a thing in my country back in the days, but I find it very captivating. This documentary is pure gold!

This is a topnotch video. Thank you for your time and work.👍

This video is AMAZING. Fantastic job. I was born in 1992 so i grew up during this era. The whole timeframe and everything about it; the music, the movies, the video games, the fashion, it all stuck with me to this day. I tend to look at the years of 1997-2001 as the "perfect times" of course with nostalgia blurring my view, but it has a certain feeling i don't want to let go of.

i'm amazed at how detailed and well researched this video is! the fact that you talked about pretty much every art form the style was used, the core basics of it and the thought process behind it makes it so fascinating

This is the beginning and end of the Y2K aesthetics study. Amazing work.

This was such an incredible watch!! SO well made, so many wonderful talking points. Not only was it a nostalgia trip, but I learned a lot! One of the best analysis videos I've watched! I've come away with so many conversation pieces to share with my loved ones. THANK YOU!

I've always talked about this and felt this about the 2000s I grew up in. Thanks for making a video on it to spread the knowledge to the others

It was a celebratory time for sure. All kinds of wild futurism fueled by pounding beats, XTC and Red Bull. It was a fun time to be out partying but it also felt it was like a thing that ended as soon as it started. All those transparent plastics looked great when new but tended to look pretty dingy after just a bit of real world use. The cool underground Techno look got mainstream so fast that those metallic sweatpants you wore at that ultra cool D&B party made you look like a complete Bombfunk wannabe a few weeks later (speaking from experience here). The paranoia and jingoism after 9/11 shut down the party for good. It's heartbreaking to me that we never really rekindled that spark again but instead seem to have devolved to a world dominated by a culture of division, dogma and pessimism. I secretly hope that the advent of AI will somehow make us lust for the future again but early signs are pointing more towards it leading us to a potential dystopia. But at least it has caused a change that goes much deeper then anything we have seen since the adoption of the Internet. I can only imagine the freaky fashion that will go along this revolution.😮

Great video, loved this era. The nostalgia is next level with this because it was such a centralized total design movement. I can’t imagine something happening like this again.

Wow what a great channel!!So glad this popped up for me.

Great work! Amazing research and analysis, so interesting, thank you

This was a very well made documentary. You did your homework PLUS extra credit! Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
