I can confirm we were all wearing the tightest jeans, trashed chucks, we were overly greasy and smoked too many packs of cigs. I'm not willing to bring this back, honestly. it was a dark period, and the overuse of substances and the high pressure on women to be walking skeletons is something we should never bring back. Nicely done video! it felt very nostalgic.

Let's not talk about Euphoria anymore 💀

This had me in tears. I never coincided the rise of Instagram and social media with the downfall of the party scene, but it makes total sense. I used to be trashed 24/7. As in I was fully carrying a water bottle full of vodka to beauty school with me every day along with being cracked out on adderal and diet pills. It was the look. I was very open about my drug use as if this is what made me "glamorous". If I couldn't find a party or event happening, then I was throwing one. By the end of 2012 though it had all kind of faded away. I blamed it on the fact that by then I had graduated beauty school and was starting to try to build a career. It was more than that though... Those years, or at least the parts of them I was coherent enough to remember, were amazing and full of debauchery. I come from a very small town in Arkansas and grew up watching MTV's Spring Break, Real World/Road Rules and discovered NYC's Club Kids along with drag queens such as Rupaul, Jackie Beat and Coco Peru at an early age. This all fueled a debilitating case of FOMO before i ever hit puberty. Cut to 2009-2012, I was living on the west coast and, after feeling like i had missed out on 18 years of greatness already, refused to let a chance to be too much, party too hard and fill every moment with experiences go by. I was actually going through an extremely rough mental health era at the time(if the water bottle full of vodka wasn't a sign) so it's ironic that I cherish this period so much... Wow, I just dumped it all out on the comments. This triggered me hard though. Thank you for helping me rehash a period in time were I was a God damn fucking rockstar...ish.🖤🖤🖤

I think that what we are now calling indie sleaze bled into tumblr girl soft-grunge rather seamlessly. After the myspace/facebook flash pics came more curated but still messy tumblr posts, not all of which were anonymous. Tumblr is feeling a lot like an in-between of those candid party fotos and the hyper curated blue-ass-water post-hipster instagram posts of the early-mid 2010s. All this to say that I don't think we're getting the carefree partying we did back then back, unless social media gets banned form certain spaces. There's a reason why some clubs took people's phones away in the mid-2010s (can't confirm if or where this happens today). Thanks for the hit of nostalgia ^_^

Thank you for that acknowledgement at the end about the behind the scenes predatory nature of this era. Even though I was in the scene during high school it was obvious to me how girls were being sexually assaulted by the creepy older men which is a tale as old as time unfortunately. But when are girls and young women not being exploited? That’s what I’d like to see as the biggest change going forward

I love the fact that a really short segment from skins secret party being showed for 80 % of a 17:30 minute video

Personally, I like the idea of dressing like the sleazy men I used to be into. It's like taking back the aesthetic.

I think the "ignore my ugly house arrest ankle bracelet" Tumblr post almost perfectly encapsulates this subculture

I lived through this, but wasn’t a huge partier thank god so I missed a lot of the negative social parts. Lots of awful stuff behind the scenes. But the fashion and much of the art were genuinely exciting and accessible. I loved my fluorescent blue tights. There was also that hipster expectation to be well cultured, enmeshed with the need to be spontaneous. You had to be educated on certain things and you had to be wild & just have fun too. So it never felt boring or empty. Interesting times 💜 great work!

You know… Iived through this at the perfect time but didn’t know it. I thought effy was the coolest girl ever in highschool. I’d say that social media definitely ruined things with its perfectly curated vibe but I guess that’s how things go. I don’t think it can really come back. People wear “aesthetics” now by studying it online and copying ppl which is different than wearing it because you’re really living that life. There’s something very uncool and poser-y about that. As a former indie sleaze hipster I could never.

The styles were from other cultures anyhow You were the Imitators

Skins was super popular I remember. The UK, not the US one, which sucked. It seems hyperbolic and ridiculous now when rewatching, but it perfectly captured so much of what I people I knew were trying to be at the time. The only fashion thing you missed out on was the absolute choke hold Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" shoes had on people.

I think that since the times we lived in then felt so uncertain, it fed the "laugh now, cry later" forever partying hipster.. Something you really cant underscore enough in hindsight is that this timeperiod was *truly* sleazy! Since facebook hadnt really become mainstream yet there was still an element of anonymity online. It wasnt the end of the world if you were blackout drunk at a party and all kinds of debauchery happened to be captured on camera because there were no means for you to be tagged in said "incriminating" media and it following you forever. There was an unmistakable sense of freedom that came with this, and ppl lived and partied accordingly. We had just witnessed one of historys biggest financial crisis.. Ppl were emulating 80s fanshion with great irony, we had been made painfully aware that the security, wealth and yuppie lifestyle our parents might have experineced late 70/80's could just go up in smoke overnight.. I cherish my memories of this time in my life and there are very few things i regret personally. But with this indie sleaze revival its very much romantizied by ppl who didnt experience it, and what they fail to mention is that these were very grimy times. Before metoo with a really heavy drugscene..

ugh well i am going to stick to my classic goth dark style. have not changed in 15 years and i am still in fashion now

Indie sleaze was unique to me because it’s the one of the only aesthetics that seem aggressively straight but also aggressively queer. Maybe this is just because my older brother was gay and VERY much in the indie sleeve lifestyle, so when he would throw parties at our house I would see the straight kids at my brother’s school mixed in with the queer kids who were his friends and everyone just seemed to understand it. Like both cultures got molded together in a way I’ve never seen since then. Also this entire asthetic is basically summed up in the movie Project X

My advice, create that self discipline now, and take good care of your body now, those habits if you start young will be easier to keep as you age. And as far as figuring out what you want out of life, I keep telling myself this and others tell me the same- everyone has their own timeline.

Indie sleaze is hipster culture. They're all the same. James Murphy was so annoyed about this new phase of subculture in 2005 he wrote a song about it. "Losing My Edge" it was about this new wave of cool kids coming up and doing it "better". There was already a fully formed "hipster" culture by that time. Not 2008. I can't speak to what it was like in other places but in NYC this is what was going on from 2001-2009.By 2010's the party was over. Being a hipster was mainstream, the music wasn't original anymore and the style was seen on every retail window and street style blog.

This!!!The Hipster conversation is hard to have because of the rule that no hipster calls themselves a hipster. But yeah, Hipsters were a group that primarily cared deeply about underground music. If you took a punk, raver, metalhead, hip-hop-head, old school emo kid etc. who kinda outgrow their own scene but still wanted to listen to interesting music, they became hipsters. I grew up in the punk scene, but always had a crush on girls that listened to stuff like Sunny DayReal Estate, Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith or Modest Mouse. They would burn me CD's and I got into a lot of these bands. Soon, I was going to indie shows because they had way more cute girls than punk shows(Why lie? I mean, I also liked the music, but thats not what initially got me interested in the scene. lol). By the time I was nineteen, I was smoking a cigarette while riding a fixed gear in a flannel shirt, on my way to a Hipster dance party, with a case of Four-loco or PBR in my backpack. The cool thing about hipsters was that you could talk to them about almost any genre of underground music and they would know something about it. The bearded, Man-Bunned, mainstream folks that mainstream media mistakenly called hipsters, rarely knew anything past Mumford & Sons, MGMT, or Vampire Weekend. Hipsters were just broke kids in thrift-store clothes who wanted to party and were unified by a taste for interesting underground music, no matter the genre.

Height of college and early 20’s. Especially the Black versions of this that often overlapped with streetwear. Our idols were J*Davey, SA-RA, Zoe Kravitz. Odd Future, and for some Suzi Analougue. It’s funny to see shit you did and lived through getting a retrospective.

I'm literally just chillin', ate this slice of pizza that was out all night, about to drink another French press and clear a bunch of space on my computer by putting old photos on my hardrive, so I can write up my song lyrics for the band I started with some new friends from a party.

Where I live trends we’re always 2 years behind in trends so this was like 2010-2014 and I was 12-16 and the choke hold indie sleaze and hipster had on me was unreal

Wow. ...love this tbh...Passion pit, M83, phantogram, MGMT, and Animal collective carried me thru high school..and then later findinig cocorosie, crystal castles and Diamanda galas saved me from diving off the deep end of depression...thank the higher powers for such great music ❤🎉❤❤❤

Loved it and lived through it, indie lcubs till all hours every night of the week in London, electro clash and indie music fused and were perfect party tunes. Glad it coincided with my early-mid twenties and beyond. And youre correct instagram curation is probably what killed the style. Special note to Nylon and Super Super magazine for being on trend (ID was up there too). Myspace days were the best way to find your communities, book gigs and discover new music. Long live the coloured tights and pixie boots.

And Daisy Lowe.

Some notes, as someone who lived through this scene in my late teens/early 20s: -Vice magazine was the most crucial driving force for the fashion end of this. Hyper-critical, hyper-sexed and edgy content. Would do street fashion shots of unhoused elderly people living on the street in their fashion inspired spreads. Dark-lit photos of cokes up parties, PBR in every hand. -Pitchfork, Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan had an absolute grip over us. Pitchfork reviews were the most anticipated thing anytime an album dropped, and would fuel SO MANY conversations. -Everyone had the American Apparel hoodie with white drawstrings. It was the hipster equivalent of uggs, in a way.

You've absolutely smashed it with this vid. From the influences, experience and effects - you've really captured what was going on back then. I'm also really pleased you've mentioned the darker aspects of it too though. I lost friends through suicide which was definitely accelerated by the drug use, and misogyny dressed up as harmless partying was rife. I know so many women who were put down, treated like shit and sexually abused and it all be written off as part of the party lifestyle. That said, it was a really exciting period when your mates were getting plucked out of nowhere, signed to a major and suddenly on the cover of magazines and hailed as fashion/music icons. It felt like a time when elitism was being eroded and anything was possible. Although, Apple, American Apparel and many other US corporations were really quick to cash in and control.

The difference between the aesthetics I've grown up with (2010's vanilla Pinterest girl from later millenials to the various yet somehow interconnected gen z aesthetics) is so fascinating to me. The way every generation finds their own identity is truly so uniquely human, I can't wait to see what gen alpha does.

its funny because I dressed in this aesthetic when it was popular but I did not party at all lol. I lived in a rural county in Virginia during this time period at my parents house. I was 20 in 2009 at the start of this trend and 24 in 2012 when It died out. I became obsessed with it because I was longing to go out and party but because my parents were evangelical christians who would not let me drink or go to nightclubs or have any life at all outside of church and work so I used to live vicariously through the pictures of cobra snake. I would buy these clothes rom forever 21 or urban outfitters or American apparel or the thrift store and take flash photography pictures inside my house of me dressed up imagining I was going out to a party. I did not have the means to move out of my parents house until 2014 so I was a very late bloomer when it came to nightlife. I started going out to nightclubs in late 2015. I still go out to clubs now with my husband because I want to make up for lost time even though I am 35. I actually wish this style would come back. It was so flattering on me.

Also why do you keep saying predatory? Just out of curiosity I already told you I don’t socialize there with anyone and only talk to my friends and my husband. Are you saying we are swingers there to hit on young people or something? I’m in a monogamous relationship and neither one of us are into that lifestyle. So what do you mean by predatory? Selling them drugs? We don’t do that either neither one of us sells drugs. It’s clear you are being a troll. I am sure there are swingers that go to clubs but they also go to other social gatherings too like bars. If a 21 year adult ADULT wants to go home with them that’s their choice. 21 isn’t a child it’s a legal adult. Idk what you are even trying to say here. It sounds like you are accusing me of being a swinger when you don’t even know me. I think that lifestyle is icky and it’s not for me. But keep on going an accusing strangers in the internet of things. Like I said you have no life so of course you like to start fights online lol

I graduated HS in 05 and learned to party in this era. I work with a wide age range and because I have a babyface and no kids, my zoomer co-workers think that I'm one of them and frequently invite me out with them. I am genuinely shocked by how hard zoomers don't party! No pregaming, no drugs except maybe a weed vape, no dancing, lots of screen time, they think it's weird to interact with anyone who's not in our group, then they get bored and go home a little after midnight.

Most of the parties I ever went to looked like music videos from the 00's. It makes me sad that they don't get to party like that haha and live 😅

This video is truly amazing! So comprehensive and I learnt so much ❤

I remember the late 2000s/2010s looking very sticky and sweaty lol

WOW, i completely lived out this anesthetic in college 2008-2012. Tumblr was huge in terms of my references for what to look for in the thrift stores or super cheap clothing shops like Forever 21.

pls keep making vids like these!! love your videos

Such an artisticly well done video! This vid rlly is art

Man, this sure was a great time to be in your early 20's! As an elder millennial from this period, i will never give up my v-necks or Raybans lol

So much glitter, we used to dump edible glitter in vodka and drink that. Still not sure that was healthy 😅

So, Skins aesthetic 😂❤

I've never heard of this one before. I thought the two aesthetics that millennials came up with were emo/scene and hipster which honestly this one looks like the love child of both of those aesthetics. When you said the aesthetic's lifespan was between 2008-2012 those were my teenage years. And when you started describing it, I FELT CALLED OUT. When you said shorts over tights my jaw kinda dropped and then you said side bangs it really dropped. That's crazy how the culture in your teenagehood can be so deeply ingrained in your style like that. I was also a mega fan of Ke$ha in high school.

You made a great video w a lots of references thank you

I was too young to party at the height of the Indie sleaze era, but from 2011 to 2014, I dressed in Indie sleaze/Tumblr Grunge styles, but I didn't even know it was an aesthetic. It was just how I used to dress when I went to raves & house parties. Gaga , Ke$ha and Rihanna in her Loud era was my inspiration, and Skins were massive influenens on me.

@@aotctd It's fucking mass made polyester clothing and cocaine. If you're calling this shit your heritage you need to realize that you're not in high school anymore because you're probably a Xillenial clinging desperately to the memories of your youth because it was the only time in your life when you were actually happy and not some washed up, bitter, depressed loser. For the record, I find people copying piece by piece earlier fashion eras to be cringy posers who can't find their own styles, but fashion is cyclical, and always will be. You're acting like kids dressing in low rise jeans, peplum tops, and chunky eyeliner are all collectively committing a Rachel Dolezal. Go get a hobby and realize that you're someone who's not even old yet acting like some grandpa yelling at people to get off his lawn. - Sincerely, a Gen Z who doesn't have an """aesthetic""" because it's lame as fuck

dEFINITELY part of the top 10 smelliest aesthetics

Listening to Kasabian hanging out in the LES so much fun.

there used to be a message board called ravelinks where people would post events on the night of. they would post addresses to checkpoints where you would go behind an old chinese or mexican restaurant and pay for your wristbands and a slip of paper to the real address. then you’d find yourself atop an abandoned bank dancing with a girl who just kissed both your friends. she’s a college student in the city and doesn’t know you’re still in high school from the suburbs. later on when they post the pictures youre making the most fucked up face rolling your eyes off. THANK GOD those pictures are gone…😢

love yr videos. would love to see one about more recent years and also about current trends. hope yr studies are going well.

The dates are off. This was happening in AZ in 2002-2009. I was deep into it and covered it in the weekly indie paper I wrote for. By 2010 it was over; it had gone mainstream.

wow this was a nostalgic jump back into my entire adolescence. so succinctly analysed! 👏 it's a sub from me

This is the beginning of the aesthetic and eras for me. I remember being a big thing id notice was the leather jackets the neon colors.

Glad she mentioned Sky Ferreira. I wonder if she’s even aloud to release music?!

She has new music coming out.

it's also similar to the grunge aesthetic from 2014

It’s similar to the 90’s Heroin chic. Instead of Dakota there was Jennifer Herrema.

I always wonder how does it feels to be in your 20s in 2000's? it must be... good right.? I was only like 10 or in primary school. so i cannot understand the adult life. but looking back at it again, I find them really cool. knowing that the band that I like today are already in their 40s...and watching their old gigs and photos in their 20s omg nostalgia hit 😭

Just found you channel and immediately subscribed, top-notch stuff here!

my older sister was in high school during this era and i remember it so vividly, especially advertisements from that era. As she left for college i'd steal so many clothes around the house to fit into this aesthetic, even if i was too young to participate

that little bit with sky at the end 😂😂😂 this video is perfection!

I´m crying. How nice it was to live those times!. It gives me a beautiful nostalgia.

ah my college days. good times

I lived it, man it was a rush, partyying from wednesday to sunday, stealing shit at AA, akways drinking vodka, always making out, rolling on the ground of the club, puking, orgies at the afters and the best fucking music ever. It was amazing and the last decade before social media became commercialised by the Zucks. Wouldnt want to go back as it was also a very dark time, where i always went off the deep end. It was espcially toxic for women I think. But the sexual tension everywhere was crazy

Are you for real ? The Styles are a literal Imitation of Cultures Way Older

Interesting, but weird to hear about it being analyzed like this lol. I graduated high school in 2009, and while I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong about anything, it’s just always interesting to hear it from outside perspectives. For us, I guess we were coming out of the 90s and the punk, pop punk, etc stuff, and obviously there were emos but they were largely picked on and outcast at the time, as the punks had been previously (scene had not really started as a big trend yet, but from my perspective it was just pop emo like pop punk took outcast punk culture and made it mainstream), and there was this big resurgence of 70s aesthetics primarily from That 70s Show - I’m dead serious, it was a big trend mostly because of the show, we talked about it and there were articles and blablabla - but this neo 70s thing more closely aligned with what our parents had been into in their day, so I think it tended to be more accepted by boomers, and we just saw it as the preppy jock kind of end of the spectrum. I went to both public and private schools and everyone at the private school dressed like this. The preppy public school kids did, but others dressed more skater punk, and ‘hip hop’ style. Rap and hip hop had been very taboo for white kids through the 90s, but blew up in the 2000s and for the first time it became very normalized for white kids to primarily listen to a lot of hip hop, and try to act all gangsta and appropriate black rapper culture basically. The more conservative minded white kids might have still combed their hair over semi-emo like, but it was seen as more of the prep style when it harkened back to the 70s, I guess largely because didn’t anger the boomers. A kid walking into the school dance with long, brushed over hair, a white studded belt, skinny jeans, a fake vintage tee, and a neon green tie? Acceptable, preppy. A kid walking into the dance with an xxxxl T-shirt and sagging pants and a backwards cap? Trouble maker, not up to dress code, we will call your parents young man. A kid with mascara and skinny black pants and spiked out and combed over black hair with a bright blue streak? Quiet, friendless, picked on, depressed. That was our perspective at the time ime.

It was a Complete rip off of Our Cultures and Our Parent's Culture I mean my Generation not yours

I thought that this style illicit an "icky" feeling from me because it coincided with an especially dark period in my life, struggling with IV drug addiction, in and out of facilities. Turns out it was just a sign of the times! I will say that while i did enjoy many aspects of this and neighboring trends and still have a soft spot for a few of the items, I have always hated its adjacency to 1980s aesthetics. Bright neon colors and disco pants have never been my thing and i was always confused as to how they made their way onto the same stage as those drawing heavily from 90s grunge.

I was too young for this era so my version of this was dancing to tik tok by Kesha on just dance in my t-shirt that I cut and tied up the sides (if you know you know) in middle school in 2011
