Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman,
Y2K is a delightfully nostalgic and bitingly told exploration about how
the early 2000s forever changed us and the world we live in.
THE EARLY 2000s
conjures images of inflatable furniture, flip phones, and low-rise
jeans. It was a new millennium and the future looked bright, promising
prosperity for all. The internet had arrived, and technology was shiny
and fun. For many, 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, we are 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
“All Star,” body glitter, AOL chatrooms, Total Request Live, and early
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’s hit song “What’s Your
Fantasy” shaped a generation’s sexual awakening; in another she
interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from
the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Vogue; in another she reveals
how the McMansion became an ominous symbol of the housing collapse.
Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K
is the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K
Era—a perfectly timed collection that holds a startling mirror to our
past, present, and future.
