Growing Up In The Y2K: Sex Tapes, Scandals & Conspiracies

GROWING UP IN THE Y2K: SEX TAPES, SCANDALS & CONSPIRACIES | Though barely 90s babies, Ash (@ashleighxorose) & Indi (@fueledbyindi) grew up in the most iconic era: the early 2000s! Starting with the y2k bug fear, the decade saw celebrity culture BOOM! While world politics was a garbage fire, Paris Hilton was fighting with Lindsay, Lizzie Maguire was still our Disney queen and celebrity sex tapes were the talk of the town!

Were celebrity sex tapes iconic or revenge porn normalised? Was the drama surrounding teenage pregnancy barbie over-hyped? Did Marilyn Manson REALLY remove his ribs to suck his own peen? And why was Janet Jackson cancelled when JT exposed her?  Enjoy the nostalgia with a side of questioning: when is it iconic and when do we realise that the early 2000s were the wild west?
