  • "We grew up watching the media scrutinize women's bodies relentlessly," Becky Jones, a millennial woman, told Newsweek.

The article from Newsweek discusses how millennials are revisiting the toxic beauty standards of the 1990s and 2000s, highlighting the negative impact these standards had on body image and self-esteem. It explores how media from that era, including movies, TV shows, and magazines, promoted an unrealistic and often unattainable ideal of beauty, focusing on thinness, specific body shapes, and particular features. The piece notes a resurgence of interest in these standards through social media, where nostalgia for the era's pop culture brings back these images, often without the critical context of their harmful effects. Experts and commentators cited in the article express concern over the potential for these standards to influence younger generations negatively, urging for a more inclusive and realistic portrayal of beauty. The article also touches on movements like body positivity and the push for diversity in media as counteractions to these outdated beauty norms.
