      while this kind of style was biggest in the mid 2000s or so, it persisted as a standard style until perhaps about 2012 in some less hip areas

      that was more like early 2000s unless you lived in a cornfield

      Bro I just went to a local carnival in New Jersey and there were hundreds of latina girls there dressed exactly like OP’s pic.

      But as far as most people, yeah, OP’s pic is like, 2006-2010 at latest, although its mostly that the pink haired girl is a bit datedly scene compared to her friends who are very 2009 tumblr girl.

      my pet peeve for women’s fashion from this era was those giant brim hats and looooong chain pendants
      It looked so tacky

          it started monochrome as emo fashion around 2004-2007 and gradually got more colourful into the late 00s.The hairstyle itself was the last thing to go. I can still go on facebook and look up old profile pictures of classmates from like 2012/13 with those behives on their heads.

          Literally no one dressed like this in 2000, that was ”mall” goth and nu metal era, earliest this started was probably 2004 around, i was more a punk around 2004 but i did see girls like this but less outrageous colours

          You’re hecking deluded if you don’t think scene was a social media driven fad for normies that lifted everything from myspace. There was 0 ‘personality’ involved, you didn’t even have to listen to a specific kind of music. All these girls literally became instagram thots.

          Yeah, Myspace around 2005 was massive where people used to post their photos, favourite music and influence each other. I don’t know people think social media is anything we had everything we have now back then but in a more primitive form, there was also yahoo pages, msn messenger, forums, LULZ etc. It wasn’t that long ago in the scheme of things.

    It did. Way more style and soul was on display instead of the monochrome npc fashion #1294 (variation 2) hell we live in now.

        Social media in the 00’s was mostly flat. You interacted with friends only and made new friends online; you didn’t put individuals on a pedestal and worship them.

        Social media since maybe 2010? 2013? is alot more (e)celebrity centric. Content creators, other ecelebrities, actors, TV personalities etc are all in the public eye on social media every day. You can choose to use social media purely as a friend networking tool but it’s very much in the interest of companies to keep you forming parasocial relationships with Youtubers and racking up the advertisement view count as you phonezombie through your timeline.

        I realise this sounds like a /pol/ schizopost; it’s not, I just hate what social media companies have done to the internet. It’s irreversible and will only continue to get worse as time goes on.

          100% true but dressing scene was entirely about impressing your friends on that 00s social media. I’m pretty sure it was the first fashion trend built around taking selfies (in your bedroom with a deskcam). There was absolutely no substance to it and it was adopted entirely by the most normie girls in the world. Like I said there wasn’t even a type of music associated with it like the shitty pop punk emo it evolved out of. I remember at the tail end of scene how they’d wear really generic band tees (Joy Division, ACDC, Guns n Roses etc) and it became a talking point for adult men to get mad about how they couldn’t name any songs. And all these girls happily transitioned into instagram thots by the mid 2010s, sometimes with a hipster or ‘swag’ phase inbetween.

          is talking shite.

          I’d track down some pictures of scene girls I knew then and now but I live in Japan and LULZ doesn’t like my IP for some hecking reason so I can’t post pictures.

            Posers still bother me and it’s even worse now with rap worshippers wearing 60s-90s (classic) rock tshirts "because i like the design stop gatekeeping". I’m a typical quiet nerd IRL but if I were more outspoken I’d love to make conversation with someone wearing a band shirt who very clearly has no interest in the band’s music.

            >LULZ doesn’t like my IP for some hecking reason so I can’t post pictures.
            It’s a soft rangeban and there’s no real way around it aside from using another device or ISP or something. I have a friend in Germany who’s had the same issue for over a year.

            wrong, real scene girls were anorexic or cutters or both
            >there wasn’t even a type of music associated with it
            wrong, crunkcore and screamo were specifically associated, plus edm more broadly
            >I remember at the tail end of scene how they’d wear really generic band tees (Joy Division, ACDC, Guns n Roses etc
            youre just talking about literal target shopping normies at that point, legit nothing to do with scene at all.
            >all these girls happily transitioned into instagram thots by the mid 2010
            the actual scene girls got into 2009 indie-twee to some extent and then 2014 pale grunge.

            youre such a bargain bin stupid lol. where do you live indiana?

    No fashion was at its worst most obnoxious. People will say the 2000s were the worst dressed. But at least we didn’t have hypebeasts, swag, Hipsters and tech wear stupids lol.

    Who knows about "peaked", but it’s having a comeback of sorts. Not something those of us actually living with the uggs and floppy-hats-in-paris actually worn by normies in that era would have predicted…but the styles that are being looked on fondly in retrospect aren’t the way "normies" of the time dressed. Normies then were wearing American Eagle.

    What’s being called "2010 fashion" is actually a very tiny slice, mostly focused on indie kids, who were not seen as cool in the least at the time. The migration of these indie styles into the mainstream didn’t happen until "peak Art Hoe" of 2015-2016, and that was in a much more generic & easily reproducible form.

    Now there are those who say that "indie sleaze" is just another flash-in-the-pan trend for zoomers, but one that millennials in media & marketing have latched onto, because they have personal nostalgia for it, and that it’s not a "real" trend in the sense that it’s not widespread in reality.

    I think there may be some truth to that. It’s rather unlikely that mainstream people will be engaging in throwbacking to a style era that ended less than 10 years ago.

    But I also think that we’re distinctly coming to the end of the "hype" era regardless…Interest in "indie sleaze" seems like a symptom or a step related to the search for a new "thing", although it’s unlikely to be the endpoint for long.

    Personally…I think scuzzball skatery mexican guys are about to moon.
