yeah it's never actually coming back - the hedonism is gone but so is the music (the 'indie' in 'indie sleaze'), without those it's just a costume party calling itself a hashtag.

Having lived through those years, they were also pretty grungy, I can't imagine any of those 00s hipster girls seeing the idea of a Tiktok 'clean girl' or the slicked-back bun crowd as anything other than virtuous killjoy hell lol.

Agreed! It’s also hard to be truly hedonistic when everyone is a brand (either you are one yourself or you are representing one). You have to act a certain way and dress a certain way.
