I think I've had a bit of a falling out with Y2K aesthetics lately

I think one of the reasons for my falling out with Y2K is that the gulf between the quality of concept designs and actual produced designs for Y2K is incredibly wide.

@dzuk ohhh yeah

as much as there was plenty of sweet looking tech from the '00s there was also a -ton- that was either unpractical as hell or just downright bad, either due to poor design, poor production quality or both

@Thaminga yeah, and I guess every era has great examples and a ton of shit, but I think Y2K tendencies are distinguished by a particular lack of repairability and longevity, even among their best examples.
