i'm fully aware that y2k and the early 2000's aesthetic ppl call y2k are different but...

 i usually refer to the early 2000's aesthetic as y2k cuz then ppl actually know what im talking about

i refer to the true y2k as "futuristic y2k" cuz if i say y2k alone, ppl will be veryyyyy confused and im too tired to educate ppl

heres a link the tells u abt the two differences:
