Hey everyone, welcome back to “Trend Time Capsule.” Today we’re talking about how everything millennial is cool again—thanks to Gen Z putting their own spin on our old favorites. Erin Miller, a TikTok creator and 2000s historian, says, “Does it remind me of my age? Yes,” but admits, “I think they are doing it better.” Let’s dive in.

Big hair has returned in an “undone, still natural way,” from Beyoncé’s red-carpet glam to DIY Bumpit revival. Gen Z is binge-watching Sex and the City for that Carrie Bradshaw energy—proof that a time capsule can feel fresh again. Wired headphones are back, too: no charging, just plug in and go. Mustaches have evolved from hipster chic to a “creep-chic” vibe inspired by Harry Styles and Miles Teller. On Spotify, Recession Pop playlists mix Gaga and Chappell Roan for dancing through tough times. Instagram photo dumps of blurry concert snaps are “intentionally unfiltered,” and TikTok choreographed dances are everywhere—from Renegade to hand-swipe challenges. Throw in jelly claw clips, DVDs and cassettes from thrift stores, jumbo JNCO jeans, even Pokémon card collecting, and you’ve got a millennial revival powered by a generation that never lived it—but can’t get enough.
