Charli XCX And Troye Sivan Cosplay As Spice Girls, BSB, And Eminem In '1999' Video
Last week,
Charli XCX and
Troye Sivan dropped the nostalgia-fueled pop banger "
1999," complete with spot-on
Matrix-inspired
single art. If listening to the track managed to dredge up all your precious pre-millennium memories, then you'll be psyched to find out that the video is that, times infinity.
Charli and Troye raided the costume closet of your dreams for the vid, which references various pop culture moments, movies, and celebs from the late '90s. Charli cosplays as all five Spice Ladies, TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, plus a turtlenecked Steve Jobs, while Troye dresses up as goateed Backstreet Gentlemen, a Ramen-curled Justin Timberlake, plus a bleach-haired Slim Shady. With each other, they redesign iconic scenes from
Titanic and
The Matrix, and even revive Marilyn Manson and Rose McGowan's wild look from the 1998 VMAs.
Elsewhere,
The Sims computer game surfaces, as do Skechers sneakers, Surge soda, and Baby-G watches. It can take you a couple views to catch every single '90s wink, nevertheless it's entirely worth it — this vid is fully buggin'!
So what did we learn today? Apparently, Charli (a self-proclaimed "'90s bitch") and Troye have innovated nostalgia." Thanks, you two!
