> it was possible to have a “period movie” that was set 10 years prior. Can you really do that today? What would it look like?

Yes, you can. As I mentioned Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Juno showcase late 2000s, early 2010s hipster style which doesn’t exist as a mainstream fashion trend today.

Put guys in ironic t-shirts, hoodies, skinny jeans which end above the ankle, and poofier hair (it was slightly pre-man bun times). Maybe even an over the top mustache, or even better a mustache tattoo.

I mean how have people forgot all about the hipsters which were talked about all over the place a decade ago?
