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?

My memory of watching that movie is feeling uncomfortable and realizing "oh, these characters are the people I went to college with."

Maybe that's what I'm remembering. Scott Pilgrim didn't influence the people around me, they were already there? I definitely had a roommate that was very Scott-like.
