<v Speaker 1>months of twenty twenty five. The Y two K movement

5
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 1>refers to a style inspired by the exuberant optimism and

6
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>futurism of the late nineteen nineties and early two thousand hundreds,

7
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>marked by early Internet esthetics, translucent plastics, metallic finishes, pixel art,

8
