dark y2k
Dark Y2K is a recent style that is heavily inspired by both Emo, Visual Kei and Scene subcultures, however, unlike many other subcultures, the style is reliant on both music and image. The style got its name from the recent "Y2K fashion" that is increasing in popularity on TikTok. It's basically a more fashionable merge of Emo and Scene, to put it simply.
Style: Graphic shirts, button-up shirts underneath shirts, red or black leopard pants, skinny jeans, fishnets, goth boots, vans, shirts with skulls, chokers, straight hair with side partings (the back can be spiked), plaid skirts and pants with chains, pocket chains, striped t-shirts, pants with straps, studded belts usually dangling down to the hip, studded wristbands, shirts and jackets with patches, corsets, tutus, lots of jewellery sometimes featuring crucifixes, 2000s sunglasses, clothes featuring Sanrio characters, ties usually checkered or featuring skulls and Tripp pants. Clothes with both neon and dark colours juxtaposed together are also acceptable.
Music: The music is a combination of both emo rock, metal and crunkcore, however, recent music from artists such as Capoxxo and 100 Gecs who have a more modern sound of scenecore like music are also acceptable.
Beliefs: Anyone in this subculture has to be Pro-BLM, anti-racist, accepting of LGBT and anti-sexist. If not, then they aren't apart of it or even alternative in the first place.
