90s/00s zine. Nostalgic? We want to hear about it! 

Celebrate the days of the past. Or denigrate. Reminisce. Or repress. Wax poetic about the future.

​Tell us about our era.

Texts were 10¢ a pop. We squeezed our eyes shut and wrote entire novels in T9. Lady Di's revenge dress shook our world. We saw the cancellation of the 1994 World Series. Disney was in the midst of its Renaissance. We had hoardish collections of cassettes, CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs. Hours and days were spent perfecting our countless Internet profiles. Sleepless nights were spent on AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN messengers. We approached the massive omelet... ... and managed to take a slice!!! We read books not for self-fulfillment, but for Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas. We jammed our Trapper Keepers into our Jansport backpacks. Our JNCOs slogged when it rained and we never mastered our Heelys. We lived, loved, and drove by the Thomas Guide. Every sleepover necessitated a trip to Blockbuster (or Hollywood Video -- we won't judge). We played Nintendo, removed ladders from swimming pools, sent amusement park guests to their doom, and took excellent care (yes?) of our Neopets and Tamagotchis. We asked Jeeves, then Google. We haunted Internet forums and messaging boards. The dial-up's canticle promised the world at our fingertips.

Then the world ended on January 1, 2000.​​​​

For Gen X and Millennials, the Y2K zeitgeist was ours. They were the days of youth and splendor, and it's been a while now -- how are you doing? Are you y2(o)k?

y2(areyouo)k

At the turn of the millennium, we had it all. The world belonged to us and we were eager to reach out and touch the future. y2(are you o)k is similarly yours, whether you're Millennial, Gen X, Boomer, or Z. Give us whatever you've got -- as long as it hearkens back in one way or another to the 90s and early 00s. Reflect, venerate, denigrate. Talk lyrical about the past or make connections to the future. It's up to you. The world is your oyster.​
