Charli XCX & Troye Sivan – 1999
2018 · 2010s · · · · Directed by Charli XCX Ryan Staake
“1999” turns millennial nostalgia into a sugar-rush electro-pop anthem, with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan recreating late-’90s pop culture touchstones frame-by-frame. The video co-directed by Charli herself cycles through meticulously staged parodies: Titanic’s bow scene, Steve Jobs unveiling the iMac, *NSYNC choreography, even a Sims character creation screen. It’s earnest homage wrapped in irony, mining a pre-smartphone era when both artists were still kids.
