which y2k girl are you?
six questions, zero science ✧
Six questions, five outcomes, no data collected at all — this runs entirely in your browser and I never see a single answer. Be honest, it's better that way.
1. You've got one hour before you have to leave. What's the plan?
- Skincare, gloss, done. I'd rather look like myself
- Full face, big lashes, something that photographs
- Silver liner and whatever's reflective. Experimenting
- Blush, bow, soft everything, twenty minutes of indecision
- Fifty minutes on my phone and ten minutes of panic
2. Pick a nail.
- Milky white, almond, nothing on top
- Long, glossy, one rhinestone too many
- Full chrome. Mirror finish. Slightly inhuman
- Soft pink with a tiny bow on the ring finger
- Chipped black polish from three weeks ago
3. It's 2003 and you're being handed a phone. Which one?
- Something small and white with a charm hanging off it
- Flip phone, mirrored front, rhinestones I applied myself
- The translucent one where you can see the circuit board
- Pink, obviously. With a matching case and a strap
- Whichever one has snake on it
4. Somebody's filming. What are you doing?
- Looking slightly away from the lens. Never at it
- Straight down the barrel. This is my natural habitat
- Checking how the light is hitting the metallic bits
- Hands over my face, laughing, secretly enjoying it
- Ruining the shot on purpose. Every time
5. Your 2000s song comes on. Which one is it?
- Something slow with strings that made me cry at fourteen
- The one with the key change. Obviously the key change
- Timbaland production. Weird drums. Ahead of its time
- The sweet one everybody pretends they've outgrown
- Whatever's loud enough to annoy someone
6. Be honest about your group chat.
- I read everything and reply to about a third of it
- Voice notes. Long ones. Unprompted
- I only surface to send a link with no context
- I send the screenshot and ask what it means
- I started it, I named it, and I cause most of the problems
the results
✧ Angel
Soft, quiet, slightly unknowable. You've built a whole look out of restraint — one perfect gloss, skin doing all the work, nothing shouting. People assume you're shy and then find out you're just selective. The halo is real, it's simply not straight.
★ Popstar
Front-facing, full production, absolutely no notes. You were built for a stage and you've decided the stage is wherever you happen to be standing. The lashes are big, the chorus is bigger, and you have never once been quietly in a room.
◈ Cyber
Chrome, translucent plastic, and a faint air of being from slightly later than everyone else. You liked the futuristic end of the 2000s — the frosted, silver, science-fiction bit — and you never let it go. Cold-toned and quietly the most interesting person here.
❀ Coquette
Bows, blush, and a great deal more self-awareness than the aesthetic lets on. You've gone soft and girlish on purpose, and anyone reading that as naive is making a mistake you find quite funny. Sweet on the surface, entirely deliberate underneath.
✦ Certified Menace
Chipped polish, ruined photos, and a group chat you personally destabilised. You have the whole aesthetic available to you and you deploy about forty percent of it, because doing it properly would be too easy. Chaotic, extremely funny, faintly ungovernable.
