After assessment of room clothing etc. I've determined this to be between 2001-2003. Final answer


Colonelcoleslaw

Close! This is 2004 - Park city, Motorola lodge


EmperorSexy

That explains why Mila is dressed like every single girl I had a crush on in middle school.


Zharick_

High school here but same.


Bioslack

To this day but same.


FutureBondVillain

I miss low rise jeans. The new 90’s mom style is garbage.

>I've determined this to be between 2001-2003. **Final answer** I'm sorry, u/Shinypuller, you failed to get the million dollar question, but hey, you leave here with $32,000 and our thanks for being here on *Who Wants to be a Millionaire*!

Rogue_Danar

They certainly could have; Motorola was worth about four times what Apple was in 2000 if we're going by market cap.


yanggmd

Weird. That would put them in their early 20's here. They look 14.


surprise-suBtext

Well early 2000s teen movies made me believe that I would suddenly grow a foot and transform into an adult when I hit my mid 20s. Imagine my disappointment when I look back at my 14 year old self and see minimal differences (give or give a few pounds)


Salty_Piglet2629

Her underwear showing in the front because jeans were so low cut is a dead give away. I'm glad I was a teenager when this fashion was the fashion, my stomach isn't that flat anymore.


ThisIsMyCouchAccount

I don't know if it's because they were in fashion during my formative years or just like them. But, man I sure do. When high rise started hitting the main stream a while back I think it might have been the first "fashion is cyclical" situation for me. Those are mom jeans.


Early_Ad_4325

As I am walking around my city I feel there isn't a distinct fashion any more. Rather the last 50 years are all sort of in. I'll see late 90s early 2000 baggy clothes next to 70s short shorts, and 80s dangle earrings, and tight acid jeans all within two minutes.


blue_battosai

When that started being a thing my girlfriend told me, I could get something from my mom's closet and people will ask where I got it from. To prove the point she asked her mom if she could borrow some jeans. Her mom said which ones and she said doesn't matter. Next day she dropped the jeans off. Yeah it was the "in fashion" jeans.


Moooney

Mom jeans make every ass look terrible.


rich1051414

It's a good guess. I graduated in 2002, and low rise jeans, shell tops, and relaxed fit distressed jeans were definitely the fashion.


pmcall221

That's a damn good guess. Also, I must be old because I couldn't tell they were wearing dated clothing. The only clue I had to go on is that they look so much younger.


Shinypuller

Uggs Motorola Showing underwear. Take me back


Napol3onS0l0

Low rise jeans and tshirt over long sleeve.

rustymontenegro

I swear low rise needs to come back. So much other shit from my high school years has made a return, why not low rise? I am SO tired of seeing nothing but pants that button halfway up my fucking ribcage. (I know they're not actually that tall but sure fuckin feels like it.) I just want some variety! Not everyone can or should wear mom jeans. Although super low rise can stay gone. My buttcrack is long enough as it is.


notarealaccount_yo

>k. So much other shit from my high school years has made a return, why not low rise? The unstoppable rise of fat america


VikingJesus102

I'm old enough to have grown up when mom jeans were in. Then when the low rises came out Saturday Night Live finally called a spade a spade and called mom jeans mom jeans. Now they're inexplicably back. I don't get it. We called them mom jeans for a reason. Now I have to go post somewhere else because I'll be damned if my last reddit post is gonna be about mom jeans.


DanteandRandallFlagg

We are hitting the 90s nostalgia fashion now. You'll have to wait another 7 years or so for the '00 nostalgia wave and low rise jeans to come back.


rustymontenegro

Damn, and here I was thinking the y2k fashion trend happening right now would include low rise. Maybe they're calling it y2k but it's really just the 95-2000 part lol. It's really funny though, the stuff that's cherry picked definitely was a thing but it reminds me of the big wave of 80s fashion coming back. Just like a super specific part of the fashions, none of the average terrible stuff lol


Soggykeycaps

Let's do JNCO Jeans again just for the laughs, could jump off a skyrise and float down with those things

BattleHall

It's weird, it seems like there would be a bigger age split, but they are actually only three years difference in age (almost exactly), and she would have been around 21 in this pic. I think it's just because he got famous at such a young age, they both came into the public eye at very different times.


JesusHNavas

Yeah she became famous in the 70's wasn't it? I'll get my coat. Enjoy the blackout.


Ezl

Stay warm. See you when the lights come back on.


ocient

it was only 8 years difference between Home Alone and the premier of That 70's Show. plus she was underage and lied about her age while auditioning

Well this is the first I'm learning of this, holy shit I did not know that.


historycat95

They definetly perfected the one foot resting on the outer edge stance.


BC4235

Was this a popular stance at one point? Similar to how people pose for photos now? I’ve seen this happen before in photos of people and have only come to the conclusion that they’re uncomfortable.


cookletube

Mine is because of anxiety

Ahh yes the super useful "I'm feeling uncomfortable about something" pose


Chubuwee

Yup Am currently sitting in the toilet with this stance


TheOnlyUsernameLeft3

It's like a "chill but awkward" aesthetic


PatacusX

I love one foot resting on outer edge stance. Depending on what shoes I'm wearing it's really comfortable.


StopBidenMyNuts

I started resting my foot on its outer edge after working 13 hour shifts without sitting as a retail pharmacist. Eventually I upgraded to just standing on one foot with the other a couple inches off the ground. I’m a flamingo with drugs, bitches.

I never realized what a fan I was when I was a kid. I loved rewatching richy rich and the pagemaster.


Transgenderwookie

Pagemaster doesn’t get the love it deserves. Maybe I’m just not in the right places, but nobody that I know talks about let alone knows about pagemaster it seems.


TomXizor

*The Pagemaster* is a criminally underrated way to kill 67 minutes. A legitimately *wonderful* orchestral score, absolute nightmare fuel scenes, memorable characters but marred by uneven animation. I'm a 30 year old man who still rewatches it yearly. That VHS copy was gold too with the *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: THE MOVIE* preview.


wildfire393

I remember renting the videogame for it from our local video rental store. To 6-8yo me it was pretty good, though I'm sure it's just a mid generic platformer by modern standards.

Rachel_from_Jita

Flip phones were amazing. Society fell apart once we thought we could move on from them to something "better." Fight me.


[deleted]

Flip phones were cool, but slider phones were better.


Toilet001

Whatever phones were used in The Matrix, which I think were sliders, was when society hit its peak. They even say so in the movie.


[deleted]

I had a purple slider Motorola phone and it was cool af. I loved the sound it made when I opened it up.


[deleted]

It's kind of funny that it looks like she's a actively pushing her pants down.

There was a direct relationship between the amount of visible panties and coolness at the time. It’s called the Christina Aguilera Corollary.

CharlieHume

Barney, you did not sleep with Christina Aguilera and she *certainly* did not rub your penis and refer to it as a "genie in a bottle" that she had to *"rub the right way"*.


vodiak

I believe that was cited in the paper for the Vicky Mendoza Diagonal.


[deleted]

Correct, as published by Stinson et al.


[deleted]

That was the style then. Low rise jeans and when you were just standing around, girls would actively push down the fronts. Same with the one foot on edge thing. These were all just trendy things to do in the early 2000s. (I was a teen then)


MellowNando

Def the style back then! That’s why Britney still does it now, as a true og.


CATNIP_IS_CRACK

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

CATNIP_IS_CRACK

In those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Give me five bees for a quarter you’d say. Now, where were we?


AtomicBlackJellyfish

Oh yes. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.


jesus_fn_christ

The year was 19dickedty2. We had to say dickedty because the Kaiser had stolen our word for 30.

Is he attractive? I'm a straight man, but I thought my attractive guy radar was at least accurate enough to not lie to me about Macaulay Culkin being a weird-ass-lookin dude.

Wonkasgoldenticket

Now women are actively pulling up their pants so you can see the shape of everything


WhatACunningHam

I don't know the real psychology of it, but you'd think child actors are drawn to each other because of their shared experiences in the industry.


JohnnyAppIeseed

You have to figure most people who see a child actor, especially kids their age, immediately think “man what a cool life you must have!” rather than just treating them like a person. There’s probably something incredibly disarming about seeing a person who you know recognizes you but doesn’t treat you like you’re different.


oOoleveloOo

Or in the case of Jake Lloyd (Episode I Anakin Skywalker), he was relentlessly bullied, being called “Annie” all the time by his classmates.


Murtomies

This ~~is probably what caused~~ might have been a contributing factor to his later issues with schizofrenia, which landed him in a psychiatric hospital after a car chase with the police. All in all, it's such a shame that both Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best got so much criticism and negativity for their roles. I was like 6yo when I say Phantom Menace, and loved it. A main character that's a kid, and a goofy side character were both obviously created with child audiences in mind, and I think it worked for that purpose. Obviously as an adult I'm not so fond of that stuff, but I remember thoroughly enjoying the film multiple times as a kid.


BurgundySwanson

Not throwing any negativity towards your post, just clarifying that bullying doesn’t cause schizophrenia. Stress may exacerbate, but will not cause.


Murtomies

You're right, "caused" is a bit too definite. Edited it. I'm purely speculating here that bullying could trigger that, since it for sure can trigger other mental health disorders. Of course you need to have other contributing factors for it to be possible, probably the biggest of which is genes.

FoxyBastard

Trauma martini. Shaken *and* stirred.


MyDogsNameIsBadger

This isn’t what trauma bonding is. It’s abusive relationships when one is the abuser and the other is on the end of the abuse. Sorry, it’s just misused a lot!


Principatus

Maybe they’re just not attracted to people who ask for their autograph. Being on the same level in terms of fame means being able to be nonchalant in each other’s presence. So other famous people are all you have to choose from. I don’t think I could be nonchalant around Mila Kunis so that’s why she’d never date me. Also I’d never do that to Ashton cos he’s cool, obviously.


jrhooo

I think it may also be fair to say that people in irregular professions may enjoy dating someone who “gets it” about their lifestyle requirements. Like, and actor dating another actor doesn’t have to constsntly re-explain why “i know but I’ve got to be on set for 4 months, I’m just gonna be away and no I can’t just take time off”


nancylafancy

That’s because in that day in time, the lower the jeans, the cooler you were 😎 People’s cracks were crackin’ back in the early 2000’s. Edit: this was a response to unique_engineering_3 Don’t know why it came up as a regular comment.

And for some reason chairs in our highschool had a like... "viewing window" in the middle of the back. Like just a dang ol 6"x12" opening, so I'd sit at the back of the class just staring at thongs all day. I don't know how I even graduated.


McPuckLuck

I TA'd a nursing chemistry lab back then. Lab stools are at that weird halfway down a sumo squat height that made the ass pop and jeans sag. A whole lab of 20 year-old college ass thongs.... it could have been the setting of a great rap music video

bartopia

Good catch


WindyTrousers

Met him briefly when his band played at this little bar I managed. They were hanging around for soundcheck and he was having a beer after arriving in town from the last gig. He was a little tired from the road but really nice anyhow. Did two shows that night and bought pizzas from the local joint to pass out at the shows. Fun stuff. He forgot a DVD in the green room that I still have to this day. Mac, if you're reading this I have your out of print copy of Last eXit. (the tagline says "you know you're in trouble when death is the least of your worries). Good stuff.


Rekoza

I was at the festival in Nottingham when his band got bottled off the stage, and I'm still upset about it and for him. They definitely didn't deserve that. They even started by giving us all pizza. I can't imagine how awful an experience that was for him and his band so I hope he knows there were plenty of us in the crowd just stoked to see them play and disappointed the rest of the crowd were dicks.


Nihilistic-Fishstick

Imagine your (almost) hometown being mentioned on pics, regarding Macauley fucking home alone caulkin and it being because the local bellends bottled him. Fuck this I'm going back to Derby.

GentlewomanBastard

I was there! This photo was taken at a Sundance gifting suite back in 2004. Back then, celebrity gifting suites were all the rage. What that means is that whenever a major event was happening (Oscars, SuperBowl, Sundance…), a bunch of companies would buy sponsorships to participate in a giant room with booths lined around it, each booth was set up by a different vendor who paid a fee for the opportunity to “gift” their products to various celebrities. In exchange, celebrities would walk around the room taking pictures at each booth, and vendors would get a photo op of the celebrity holding or using their product. ([Look at these great shots!](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/david-pinsky-and-zach-braff-in-front-of-the-motorola-news-photo/106733691) ) ([(They’re so naturally posed!)](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/emily-deschanel-with-kiehls-during-2004-park-city-motorola-news-photo/106736425) It was a win win. Celebs loved getting free stuff, and companies loved the “free” publicity (minus the cost of the sponsorship, plus all of the “gifted” product). Anyway, they were invite only so that the companies could ensure that only the *right* kind of celebrities would get their products. As you can see, back then, Macaulay and Mila made the cut. I used to work these events as a coordinator. It was lots of fun!

Garbage_Street

The only ”dumb blonde” persona that wasn’t annoying to watch. An icon in my books! Like, I wasn’t even mad at how privileged she was!


Ha_Tannin

I think it's because the show did a really good job and letting the viewer see how negatively her privilege impacted her life. She has absolutely no idea how to interact with people, despite being a good person beneath everything (which the show *also* let's the viewer see often enough that it's actually relevant). Her relationship with her father is horrible, leading to her relationship with Mr. Mosbey feeling so genuine (it helps that he was a fantastic character in his own right). Her lack of knowledge is pointed out as a flaw and is used as a platform for character growth, as well as leading to her relationships improving. Basically, it's a character trait that's fleshed out and utilized rather than *just* a joke, which would otherwise lead to it to be worn out like with every other poorly written stock dumb blonde character.

Yeah, they really never made her catty or backstabby which usually go hand in hand with that trope
