I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

I think a lot of people missed the point of it, but I don't really know what, if anything in that entire movie could be seen as aspirational. Playing the bass? Cheating on a teenager with a girl with dyed hair? Getting in a sword fight in a club? Like, nothing in that movie is the type of thing I would describe as a goal.
