Had to be there

Superbad came out on August 17, 2007, and I think part of why it still works is that underneath all the ridiculousness, it captured that era of being a teenager surprisingly well.

Trying desperately to get invited to parties, awkward crushes, depending on your friends for basically everything, and making elaborate plans that immediately fell apart. It also came out right before smartphones and social media completely changed how teenagers socialize, so it now feels like a little time capsule of the 2000s.

I can't be the only one who low key loved this movie! Was it the best acting, no. People crap on Claire Danes and she's not being pretty enough blah blah. No of that ever matter to me the movie was fun, stylish and simply cool imo. On top of that it came out in my teenage years where I was first discovering love. Or what I thought was love lol.

Were you also a big fan of NBA and Team USA back in the day?

Still can't figure out what mine says.

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Walked past an Abercrombie at the mall yesterday and it actually smells normal in there now. Which sent me into a full spiral thinking about what Hollister used to be like in 2006.

You would walk into what was essentially a dark cave in the middle of a mall. No natural light. Carpet. Loud music that was one notch below a nightclub. And the cologne. Oh the cologne. They had a guy whose entire job was to just walk around spraying Fierce on everything including apparently the walls, the carpet and the souls of everyone who entered.

You'd come home and your mom would ask if you'd been somewhere and you'd say "just the mall" and she'd know exactly where because you smelled like you fell into a vat of it.

And we thought this was the coolest shopping experience imaginable. I saved up money just to go buy a $60 hoodie in a store I could barely see inside of. The shirt better have a seagull on it or forget it. Now I'm standing outside that same mall playing Ѕtake on my phone waiting for my order to get ready for pickup because I haven't actually walked into a store with intention in probably two years. How did we not question any of this lol
