Reflections on Y2K's Cultural Impact

The anticipation surrounding Y2K represented a unique cultural moment, where widespread fears about potential technological failures loomed large. Many individuals, including Kyle Mooney, recall their experiences from New Year's Eve 1999, often marked by a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Mooney's movie, Y2K, creatively channels this nostalgia by portraying the anxieties of that era, while also amplifying them with a satirical yet dark twist, such as machines turning violent. This blend of humor and horror reveals the absurdity of the past, making audiences reconsider their relationship with technology.
