2000s in Fashion

Many styles popular at the end of the 1990s remained popular at the beginning of the 2000s. Generation Y replaced Generation X as the predominent youth generation and the first baby boomers began to retire.

Subcultures of the 2000s

Raver

The rave culture which started in the '90s continued on into the early 2000s and nominally into the mid- and late-2000s.[citation needed] Rave subculture is largely defined by large dance parties, called raves, and is typically associated with electronica such as techno, trance music and drum and bass, as well as dark colored and black clothes and accessories such as glowsticks and binkies.[citation needed] The subculture is also often associated, whether fairly or unfairly, with illicit drug use, especially psychedelic drugs such as ecstasy and LSD.

Hip Hop Influence

Hip hop culture began to appeal to wider audiences and demographics. The music inspired fashions which included baggy (but not excessively so) clothing, jewelry, and grills. The hip-hop influence expanded into other musical realms, especially pop music (including '90s teenybopper artists such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara, and Justin Timberlake), but also touched on some Country such as Big & Rich's Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy). By the mid-2000s, hip hop was very much ingrained into pop culture mentality.

Emo

Emo is also sometimes associated with a certain fashion. The term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. Emo fashion has changed with time. Early trends included straight, unparted hair (similar to that of Romulans in Star Trek), tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.

Headgear

While it was fashionable in the '90s to wear baseball caps in reverse, this trend slowly shifted towards favoring wearing it to the side or forward and slightly tilted.
