Nostalgia and Aesthetics of the Y2K Era

Let’s fall into a Y2K-Hole. The Shuffle bois turn to the world of pop culture and consumer aesthetics with expert guest Colette Shade, author of “Y2K: How the 2000’s Became Everything.” Colette walks us through what the defining features of the Y2K era were, the history of the dot com bubble, some of the period’s most iconic styles and movements (Y2K Futurism, Frutiger Aero, Blobject, 2K1, Techno-orientalism, McBling), as well as various manifestations of the intense sexism of the time.
