The Best Y2K Instagram Story Filters You Have To Save Immediately

June 1, 2021

The Y2K aesthetic has taken the world by storm, both online and offline. According to online sources, the Y2K (which stands for the Year 2000) aesthetic is influenced by the mid-90s and early 2000s. This is evident in fashion, music, and more.?�

Riding on the trend, we thought it'd be fitting to share some of our favourite Y2K IG story filters.

For those who are new to IG story filters, there are 2 ways to save them:

Option 1: If you know the creator�??s username

  • Search for a creator�??s IG handle and select your desired filter
  • Tap the bookmark icon to save it

Option 2: If you know the name of the filter

  • Go to Instagram story and swipe left till you see �??Browse effects�?�
  • Search for the style you�??re after
  • Tap into the specific filter
  • Tap the bookmark icon to save it

Now that you're ready to spice up your stories, let the fun begin.

Grain? Check. Dust? Check. Sparkles? Check. Dreamy glow? Check. Aesthetic backgrounds? Check.

Created by Instagram user @sekutliut, everything about this filter is a Y2K dream come true. It has a slight beautifying effect and comes with music so you can lip-sync while flaunting your fits for the day. This filter is best for taking videos and we like that the angles get fancier with time. Try it out!

Sour

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street.

In case you�??re unaware, this filter by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo pays homage to her recently released album, SOUR. The filter allows users to recreate the iconic sticker face look plastered on her album cover.

It also comes with 5 different songs which can be found in her album. These include:

  • good 4 u
  • brutal
  • happier
  • jealousy, jealousy
  • enough for you

In addition to 9 Y2K-esque backgrounds to choose from, users can tap the screen to select between 6 different angles or styles. Though it doesn�??t come with background music, it definitely isn�??t lacking in the aesthetics department. The filter comes with a soft glow and users can adjust the intensity of the fade effect.

At this point, it�??s clear that the Y2K trend includes a lot of purple, glitter, stickers, and of course, a soft dreamy glow. But something was missing.?�

Created by @alara._.suuu, this filter has all the ingredients needed, including the classic flip phone. This comes with a slight saturating effect but rest assured, it�??s nothing too crazy. We recommend saving this filter for selfies or for days when you want to show off your perfect winged eyeliner.

Sticker Face

Taking things down a notch, this cute filter by @schaschias is a perfect match for you if you prefer something more toned down.

It has a beautifying effect complete with natural-looking lashes, freckles, and lip gloss. On top of that, it has just the right amount of face stickers.
