The film didn't age well

Seems like all the fashion is back in today's mainstream trends. Chokers, mini skirts, knee highs, platform shoes.... they've all made a comeback. Not in my closet but you know, if you frequent tumblr maybe.

I think you just described what makes the movie relevant to this day. The fashion but not be exactly the same but trust me the "social-ness", attitude and spoiled teens are definitely still a thing.

The fashion didn't age well, but the script did!

But then, the original story had already been around for almost 200 years and is still selling well.

I'd disagree.

I think it helped birth today and is as relevant as ever.

Totally disagree. I watch this film every few years, and consider it a classic.

To me it's aged well in the way some films become like a time capsule of their era -- but in a good way, not a bad way. It's definitely one of the most Ninetiest films out there, packed with references that were very much of their specific time (Pauly Shore, Beavis & Butthead, etc).

But with some films, that kind of thing makes them even more delightful and watchable, while others just seem cheesily out of date. I think it works with Clueless. I just saw it again today and I still laugh at the great script.

So being sociable and spoiled teens are a 90s phenomenon?

Also disagree about the clothes, I still love them, plaid, miniskirts, high socks, etc.

Last, will you say the same thing about clothes from A Rebel without a Cause, Some Kind of Wonderful, and Plein Soleil? Each decade has a staple signature fashion and though they mark the era, many of us still love the fashion from these periods, be it the 20s, 40s, or 80s.

I never understood the “film didn’t age well” mentality.

Well then, neither did Gone With The Wind, nor Rebel Without A Cause, nor Dirty Harry, nor The Pelican Brief nor The Big Chill.

And how is “attitude” or “spoiled teens” a “didn’t age well” thing. Name a year in the last 80 years there weren’t spoiled teens or teens with attitudes here and there.
