It's ironic how such a culture flourished directly and immediately in the aftermath of a recession. Perhaps these were all very wealthy youth.
Also ironically, it died out when the economy was actually starting to recover. Eventually it got replaced by art hoe but that's another story.

Yeah but if your idea is that it was driven by the economy it started at the tail end of a huge period of pretty good growth and lasted through a horrible long trough. In other words it existed through both. Not sure how both economic extremes could have come to the same fashion conclusion. It was way better than the soundcloud rapper shit everyone wore afterwards in my area though

I think this is probably the best conclusion. The recession of '08 likely hit these girls' parents, but that's about it.

There's a fair argument that some fashion trends were driven by economic factors (e.g., the 80s in the US/Japan), but that doesn't seem applicable here.

Looking back, it wasn't all that bad, eh lads?

[Anonymous No.15121914]

i think a lot of the "magic" of that time stems from the fact that even though the internet and social media (to an extent) were already a thing, smartphones weren't. Social Media back then was way more playful than the depressing cesspool that instagram is nowadays. Loads of these pictures were taken in a moment with the primary purpose to capture said moment and with posting it on social media being a secondary thought (most of these were taken with disposable cameras). Zoomers under the constant pressure of posting shit in their instastories right then and there in realtime, to show everyone how much fun they are having will never understand. Back then you would check social media maybe 1-3 times a day, close your laptop, be done with it and not think about it anymore. I know i sound like a boomer but this "innocent" and pressureless era of social media was ideal.

I understand the need for this take to SEEM accurate, but unfortunately, it most definitely is not. people REALLY cared about myspace back then. it was always an argument about "omg he just takes those polaroids so he can scan them onto hsi computer to post on myspace!!! they're supposed to just hang on the wall but he does this extra thing to advertise he likes vintage stuff!!" there was also way more drama with top 8/top 12 friend lists. normal, smart girls and guys would do stuff like, "hey hey, can you take a pic of me sitting here staring off in the distance in this sick outfit?" and that was normal. the kid with the DSLR camera was KING because that kid was posting high quality pics online of parties and shows, and the only area in between for going out taking scene pics was polaroids/film cameras or digital Canon Rebel (which would get stolen and were a liability). nobody had a camera phone that worked very well, so honestly, there was WAY more of an emphasis on taking posed, choreographed pics of each other.

i remember this distinctly because my HS gf was a vintage chick who wore the highwaisted skirts and had the thick, shaggy hair and did the same thing of carrying herself in this fragile, anorexic (eating disorder) way that a lot of the girls on here do.

also just an FYI these types of people were way more mean, aloof and carried a LOT more social power than it looks in these casual bedroom chillout pics. a lot would be super mean to your face. it was crazy, people were super competitive back then about music and fashion. being a poser (stealing all of your faves from one or two people exclusively) was under INTENSE scrutiny. the investigations never ended.

Oof, but I'm not nostalgic. What I see, personally, is mostly time wasted, an embarrassing proto-me who could've been better sooner if I had taken a few different turns.

Macro culturally, I guess kind of the same? It all seems quaint, both like how lazy affectations of... simplicity! of all things! passed for aesthetic refinement and like... oh this is how people dressed before we had to face real history again?

Some stuff ITT is good, because of course some people kept better cultural flames alight, but... goddamn no, the 2000s were a bleak void. There was neither the satisfied, positivistic optimism of pre-2001 (when we thought we were facing real history again back then, oh lol) or the struggle born engagement with real life that's been growing since 2011 or so.

Some of you are going to be like, "what are you talking about, engagement with real life, *points to Instagram*" and I'm going to be like "exactly," and you're going to be like "what" and I'm going to be like "forget authenticity it's not 2004 anymore and anyway that app was for the first bit of its existence literally about faking your photos being taken on ~film~, STFU and think for a minute about why people would use Facetune, or get plastic surgery, or whatever."

Post occupy indie wasnt much different aesthetically until 2012~, media conglomerates stole from indie and the mainstream grafted a lot of indie's identity onto itself. Insofar as fashion, the 90s waves of indie are popular, and bedroom pop and twee are also part of mainstream indie hybridization that is really popular amongst zoomers

I agree with you 100% that the internet was better around that time. A lot of people I talk to seem to agree. It wigs me out to see all these zoomers, engaging in an internet where advertising is as dominant on all corners of the web as it is, appearing totally unaware that there exists a better model for social media. Shit like Tumblr, for all it's faults, was better when it was ad free and programmed by people who weren't dead-set on making their site addictive through the application of casino-based psychological research. I feel like shit after being sucked into instagram for hours, whereas, with Tumblr, I'd often feel inspired to go draw or make something after catching up on blogs I liked. There was simultaneously an air of mystery, anonymity and community on Tumblr back then. Shit, I even remember being online before all the social justice diatribe was as tribal, cutthroat and thoughtless as it is now in everyday discourse.


>>15125730
>also just an FYI these types of people were way more mean, aloof and carried a LOT more social power than it looks in these casual bedroom chillout pics. a lot would be super mean to your face. it was crazy, people were super competitive back then about music and fashion. being a poser (stealing all of your faves from one or two people exclusively) was under INTENSE scrutiny. the investigations never ended.
There were a lot of douchebags posturing in the idie-scene shit, for sure. I'm fortunate enough to have missed most of those social interactions, but whatever. There are douchebags today still anyway, so I don't know what difference it makes.

as someone who was in high school 2007-2010, both of these takes are pretty accurate. people were just as obsessed with appearances on social media, only it wasn't as prolific yet. and indie cred was literally everything.

You also see the last dying gasps of those indie rock bands like the Vaccines that we all instantly forgot about. All singing songs about fucking underage fans. Can't imagine that today. There has to be some connection between this really carefree attitude and the absolutely desperate times people were living in post 2008.

Both are true. On the topic of people being assholes though I feel the need to point out the distinction of who people were mean to. Back in 2011 people (mostly those highest on the food chain) picked on and talked shit about those in their scene as they'd be seen almost like rivals. If you just stayed out of peoples way and did your own thing you wouldn't be seen as a threat and therefore left alone. This contrasts with 2020 as it's aimed towards people both in and out of their scene.
It went from high competition in the in-group to moderate competition with everyone.

It's weird because the aesthetic was around since what, Neutral Milk Hotel in the late 90s? Then it shows up in bands and indie films right through the 00s until it suddenly exploded for normal people in 2009ish. It's celebration of vintage and twee stuff was definately a rejection of the bright, synthetic, boxy uglyness of the 00s. I remember as a young teen being so relieved boot cut low rise jeans and everything else was finally fucking dead.

As quaint as this shit is today it's a million times better than what it replaced and I don't think i'll ever, ever want a 00s revival. I'm starting to think it'll never properly happen thank god.

I feel that. Hard.

Also, I think it's worth noting the severe irony in feeling nostalgic about 2000s hipster culture which was, arguably, primarily focused on nostalgia and irony. It's a self-affirming, static loop. Feels like a real sign of the end of culture.

And I'm nostalgic about it too, don't get me wrong.

But I also remember the stupidity of the "scene-emo" kid thing, with the backcombed hair, and big bracelets and post-hardcore bands. Holy fuck did that shit suck. And it dominated the "alternative" side of my highschool.

Oof. This is all hitting me weirder than I thought it would. I’m remembering how I felt in this era while I was in undergrad.

I remember a constant pissing contest of everyone seeking something ‘original.’ But the ‘original’ thing was always just a callback to something from before, fitting a certain trendy criteria of quirkiness. But at least there was a sense of layering in what people were starting to appreciate - things made with care or out of real materials until it all just rapidly became urban outfitters shit. It was when all the ‘craft’ stuff was flourishing. Some of it was obnoxious and pretentious but compared to the sugar and plastic of the early 00’s it felt welcome.

The digital aspect melding into ‘real life’ feels clumsy and stupid. 1% have made brief careers out of things like twitch streaming and influencer shit, while the rest try to imitate that behavior and it translates terribly into the real world. It’s like living in a world where everyone is a too-close obnoxious face on a YouTube thumbnail.

Bunch of shit like geographic isolation, mental physical illness meant I basically didn't have a youth, my 20s were wasted. Also, getting old, literally a generation separated from the zoomers. I always just wanted cool indie friends, all my friends were blue collar Mormons. Fuck, feels bad man.
