Y2K Aesthetic Movies & TV Shows
This list is now focusing on the period between 1995 - 2003, called the Y2K Era, in the mid nineties, there was a fear of the impending new millennium and what it would bring, people began to think that once the clock struck 00:00 AM on January 1st 2000, computers wouldn't properly recognize the circuit units and that it would cause an error in the calendar data, this would also lead to a collapse of all digital software, bringing in an impeding doom, this fear mongering also lead to optimism, the optimism was brought forth by the world wide web, this made people think there future was not only bright, but that it was going to be digitally enhanced, hence the aesthetic, The Y2K bug didn't happen, but the aesthetic still carried on for a couple of more years, ending a few years after 9/11, with that little history lesson out of the way, my goal is to highlight both the aesthetic of the films and TV shows and the premise, what I mean by that is that it, has to have some relation to espionage, digital software, futurism or technological optimism. When it comes to the aesthetic it's not essential, but if it doesn't have the correct premise I'm not adding it even if it has a Y2K aesthetic, a lot of these movies and shows I haven't seen and some of them you most certainly won't know. Enjoy PS.
