Rewatched this for the first time since '96 yesterday! Interesting perceptions

It's funny how I was a teen when this came out and saw it in the cinema, and now watching it in 2020 how out of touch the culture seems to be. It accurately captured some of the things of the 90s though.

The thing that stuck out the most to me was Margo's boyfriend being attractive back then, when today that same guy in a bar would be guaranteed fresh off the street from begging and no one would find that attractive.

What other perceptions did you notice?

Same here. I was in HS when this came out. I like how Margo wears a blue flannel shirt -that was very popular in the 90s. I used to wear them. Then 2 songs from Bush are in this movie as well. (Love Gavin Rossdale still lol!)
Yeah the way Davids friends looked and dressed , one of them had one of those wallets that had the chain hanging off the pants. Another had long hair and another was a drummer with somewhat messy hair. All these styles a girl in the 90s could find this attractive at the time because that was what was "in" then.
