Remember "Daria" from MTV's late 90's period? Yes or No- here we go: It's the 90's refracted through the lens of these screen shots of "Daria" (lalalala you're standing on my neck, etc.) First observation: 9 out of 10 shows on TV are some version of "Sick Sad World."
Daria's sister Quinn was using a laptop not to go online, but to use one of those magic computer programs that let's you see what someone's head looks like on different outfits.
JANE IS ON A PAYPHONE.
Quinn is talking to the President of the Fashion Club on a cordless LANDLINE! That's a poster of Devon on the wall, but I had these beauties back in 2000:
More landlines and ladies' POWER suits!
There's a poster of someone that's probably Jewel on the wall, but I prefer to think it's a reference to the poster I had below.
BOOKS! Okay high schoolers maybe still use books of the paper and print variety, BUT the big difference is what's NOT in this picture: no texting, no social media of any kind, and sadly no podcasts!
"Sick Sad World" was all over feet, and need I say more:
Goodnight Mr. Belvedere, wherever you are.
