No, Mean Girls is definitively not from the 80s.
When Was Mean Girls Released?
As stated in the reference, Mean Girls was a bona fide box office hit when it was released on April 30, 2004. This places the film squarely in the 2000s, not the 1980s.
Why the 2000s, Not the 80s?
The 1980s decade spanned from 1980 to 1989. Mean Girls, released in 2004, came out over a decade after the 80s concluded. The film's setting, fashion, technology (like early 2000s cell phones), and cultural references are characteristic of the early 2000s.
Here's a quick look at the timing:
- The 1980s: 1980-1989
- Mean Girls Release Year: 2004
Therefore, based on its release date and cultural context, Mean Girls belongs to the 2000s era.
