Edition 65 | Out Now
From carefully curated feeds in the first year (hello, CPM35 filter!) to casual photo dumps by fourth year, we’ve come full circle. Just like how the Y2K era’s cyber-grunge aesthetic was replaced by minimalism, only to return with a nostalgic twist, we’ve gone from perfectly polished to perfectly us.
And then, standing at convocation in our graduation robes, the magic of it all hits. The butterfly clip you thought was cringe in second year is now your lucky charm, and MicMac’s maggi, once traded for trendy cafés, is what you’ll miss the most.
In this 65th edition of DTU Times, we’re not just jumping on the Y2K bandwagon—we’re exploring how trends, like time itself, move in mysterious circles. We’re all living in our own version of Y2K, some experiences need to go out of fashion before we realise their timeless appeal, a quiet return to the memories that shaped us.
As you don your graduation robes, perhaps sporting those chunky sneakers that are somehow cool again, remember that like Y2K, college life isn’t about the apocalypse that never came—it’s about the revolution that did. Let’s not forget the beauty in looking back, in remembering who we were and who we’ve become. Appreciate the journey, and rock those platform shoes like it’s 1999 all over again.
