A punk subgenre found in litterature, movies, videogames and other media. Its aesthetic mainly focusses on a world that is stuck in the late 90s to early 2000s and has never moved on, borrowing themes from Mark Fisher's Lost Futures theory and borrows aesthetic themes from Frutiger Aero, Dreamcore, Weirdcore and Vaporwave, but obviously its main aesthetic theme is the Y2K aesthetic of the New Millenium, thus the name.
The goal of the Milleniumpunk aesthetic, besides creating a form of familiarity and nostalgia, is to also emphasise on the Y2K bubble, with each universe represented in pop culture, such as movies and litterature, being shown as both a utopian place, with people dreaming about a prosperous future, while also being a dystopian one, with countless threats, such as an economic crisis threatening to destroy that bubble, thus the dreamy and cozy feeling the entire time.
Milleniumpunk borrows heavily from other punk genres, such as Dieselpunk, Steampunk and Cyberpunk, thus most of the tymes called Neo-Dieselpunk or Meta-Cyberpunk

B: Dude, that's so Milleniumpunk!
A: Look at this iMac G3 on his desk! Gosh, that's almost two decades old, but looks like it's from the future, or are we stuck in the past?
B: We're tripping in a Milleniumpunk fever dream, then!

Get the Milleniumpunk mug.People who only eat sushi and think they're healthy, be on the internet for 10 hours and think they're better people because they drive hybrid cars. They also probably have around five partners and don't want marriage or kids. Oh and, some of them are alcohol addicts. Also they have a weird obsession with Pokémon and Techno music.
