The Spice Girls' single 'Wannabe' was released in the U.S. The Y2K Era became well-defined by 1997, replacing the Core '90s Era which had been known for its grittier aesthetics such as Grunge. Campaigns like Nintendo's ' Play It Loud' era might have been a precursor to Y2K, as well. First signs of the Y2K aesthetic going mainstream appeared around 1995 to 1996, with the release of Windows 95, the start of the Internet boom, the original PlayStation and Nintendo 64 being released with games such as Wipeout and Super Mario 64, Pokemon being released in Japan, the films Hackers, Trainspotting, and Scream being released, the Spice Girls, Robyn, Moloko, and Backstreet Boys debuting in Europe, and the music video for Michael and Janet Jackson's 'Scream'. Y2K has its origins in the underground UK rave scene of the late '80s/Early '90s, as well as the early works of the Sheffield-based Designers Republic.

The Y2K Era ended around 2004 and was succeeded by the Frutiger Aero era. Most Y2K aesthetics rely on the use of technology and slick futuristic looks, signaling the optimism for the 3rd Millennium or 21st Century. Some of its aspects include tight leather pants, shiny clothing, silver eye shadow, spiky up-dos, Oakleys, gradients, translucence, and Blobitecture. Named after the Year 2000 problem, it is characterized by a distinct aesthetic period, encapsulating fashion, hardware design, music, and furnishings shining with tech optimism-sometimes literally. Y2K (also known as Kaybug or Cybercore) is an aesthetic that was prevalent in popular culture from roughly 1997 to 2004, succeeding the Memphis Design and Grunge eras and overlapping with the McBling, UrBling, Surf Crush, and 2K1 aesthetics. ATTENTION! Not to be confused with the McBling aesthetic, which was popular from 2000 to 2008 (partially overlapping with the actual Y2K aesthetic) and is also commonly lumped under the 'Y2K' umbrella term on social media.
