“Nohing I’veread has cut to the heart of the 󈧄like Y2K”—nbspBustlePerfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2Knbspis a delightfully nostalgic and bitingly told exploration about how the early 2000s forever changed us and the world we live in.THE EARLY 2000s conures images of inflatable furniture, flip phones, and low-rise jeans. It was a new millennium and the future looked bright, promising prosperity for all. Theinternet had arrived, and technology was shiny and fun. Formany, it felt like the end of history: no more wars, racism, or sexism. But then history kept happening. Twenty-five years after the ball dropped on December 31st, 1999, weare still living in the shadows of the Y2K Era.In Y2K one of our most brilliant young critics Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation on everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period. By close reading Y2K artifacts like the Hummer H2, Smash Mouth’s“Al Star,”body glitter, AOL chatrooms, Total Request Live, andearly internet porn, Shade produces an affectionate yet searing critique of a decade that started with a boom and ended with a crash.In one essay Colette unpacks how hearing Ludacris’shit song “Wht’sYour Fantasy”shaped a generation’ssexual awakening in another she interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Voge in another shenbspreveals how the McMansion became an ominous symbol of the housing collapse.Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2Knbspis the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K Era—aperfectly timed collection that holds a startling mirror to our past, present, and future.
