Clear craze comeback

From the 80s to the early 00s, plastics were commonly translucent on Macintoshes, Tamagotchi’s, sneakers, and most electronics.

Transparency meant purity. Nothing to hide, and it stands out better than the other ones.

Eventually functionality was favored over transparency and the fad died.

We see it now in small electronics for niche markets for differentiation. It could grow more popular among other subsets within the Y2K aesthetic.
