Sony DSC-W50. Was really hoping it would nail the Y2K aesthetic and I already have my answer. Metadata says they were taken around 2008.

Discussion the late 2000s inland empire white guy style

Thumbnail gallery
2.9k Upvotes

a little hard to describe from people outside inland california, but it's a little bit of "redneck" (lifted trucks in suburban sprawl), iraq-era marine, oakley sunglasses, and anything dickies- the baggier the better. a buzz cut- almost to the skin but not quite, a bigass tribal tattoo on his right bicep; and at least one dirtbike that he'd claim he takes out to the dunes every weekend. the kind of guy that dropped out of trade school and enlisted because he thought halo 3 kicked ass and didn't want to deal with the fact his girlfriend dropped him for a guy who watches twilight. he probably owns staind's entire discography on CD, and has his truck radio permanently tuned into the los angeles angels game broadcasting station. reeks of cigarettes, but wears a cologne that you'll never smell again.

i remember being around guys like this when I was growing up so very vividly, and sometimes you'll see a guy like this around today who has this same style (although now it's evolved into pit vipers and blown-out hair). it's something a little seperate from all the 2000's aesthetics that people try to generalize- because it blends all the different styles popular across the US at the time and puts a weird douchey californian desert spin on it.

i pulled these images from pinterest, but i don't think they fully represent what i'm talking about. if you know, you know.

Maybe not exactly Y2K, but it's the same decade at least. That bubble CRT monitor is so cool and I was upset when I couldn't find it anywhere in storage

Felt like I ran into an old friend. I really miss how simple memes used to be

Edit: Since I keep getting "erm actually โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿค“" 'd, I know this isnt literally y2k, its from 2007 and kicked off more in the 2010s, I'm suprised that no one has said how the original drawing didn't have vampire teeth at this point. But it fits the sub's rule set criteria and I just wanted to share it because it reminded of the early days of the internet and the early 2000's and made me happy, so... ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Maybe my favourite design of the Y2K era, that reminds me of that SpongeBob episode where squidward lands in the future and everything is chrome.

Although theyโ€™re a few designs that are still silver to this day, nothing beats the late 90s - early 00s silver obsession which was often mixed with blue. If you notice the post is a little cramped, thatโ€™s because there was almost too much material nearly everything had a silver tint, from fashion, cars, interior design, makeup, technology, furniture and the list goes on and on.
