I was in high school. Trenchcoats were pretty popular to wear at the time with the nerds and geeks. We even had the kids in choir who looked up to an a capella group called "The Trenchcoats", who would regularly wear them.

Trenchcoats got banned because of Columbine and the choir kids werent allowed to wear them anymore. Even the a capella group changed their name to "The Coats" around that time. Weird times, man.

For anyone wondering:

The Matrix came out in late March 1999
Colombine happened in late April 1999
