Would "wedding singer" set in 2003 have nostaglic appeal?

It takes about 15-20 years to truly discover a decade. We'll appreciate the 00s more in the 20s. The kids in high school at the time need to hit 30.

Nah. The eighties has a magic that I don't think any other era can emulate.
It's what made the film so great.

Funny, I was wondering this same thing the other day when it was on TV.

The 13 years from 1985 to 1998 is a totally different beast to the 13 years between 2003 to 2016.

Pop culture seemed to change a lot and very quickly sometime between 1993 and 1995. Technology and social media has changed in the last several years, as you stated, but I don't feel there are that many differences in fashion, music, movies, etc. Seeing a DeLorean isn't the same as seeing a Honda, Toyota, BMW, Jeep, Mercedes, Nissan, Ford, Dodge, etc. etc. from 2003.

The '80s was like a different time, even when viewed 5 or 6 years after the decade was over; the early 2000's, at least where we're at now, not so much. I say give it another 10-15 years.

You got the wrong guy, mang. I don't come off no banana boat.

I came here looking for a thread just like this. It's absurd how separated a decade it felt from the 80s to the 90s.

But, the 90s could easily be parodied too. I sometimes feel like Clueless is a 90s homage movie, but it was actually made in the 90s. Of course, Dazed and Confused captures the 70s, The Wonder Years the 60s. The 50s, 40s, 30s, and 20s are all pretty distinguished.

But since the turn of the century, these past decades have bled into each other. I don't know if it was 9/11 or what - but the cultural zeitgeist just isn't as attached to a decade as it was through most of the 20th century.

Maybe we just need to get to the 20s
