Why do zoomers keep confusing the 90s with the 80s and 70s? We weren't THAT primitive. We had internet and cell phones too. Modern clothing styles basically began in the late 90s. We had dropped the neon, spandex, and big hair by the early 90s. A dude wearing what that dude in blue is wearing woulda got his ass kicked in school.

The 90s were the transition point from the "old world" pre-internet to the modern era. By the 2000s, everyone I knew was online.

This is kind of like asking my mother how accurate a picture of the great depression is. It's 20 years before her time.

Part of me thinks they do it intentionally at this point.
