Reply to Highschool in the 90s, circa 1992 by mollygwenandmoe

Yearbook!

Tons of rando candids that all featured largely the same people because so many people would notice a camera and scurry. It's also why so many yearbook shots of candids are rarely head-on.

And by the time you got the film back from an event (this was pre-digital) you had to make due with whatever you had.

Many schools (like mine and probably OPs) had limited numbers of color pages while the rest were Black/white due to costs.

Finally, that outfit is 100% 1992. Pop culture always digs up the extremes from the early 90s, including "grunge" style from about 93-96, but these girls are styled fairly mainstream for the era (among teens.)

A part of me will always miss and enjoy some of mid 90s fashion (minus the shoulder pads and associated fashions.) Yes - shoulder pads for women lasted LONG into the 90s. You can cross reference with several sitcoms and dramas from the era.

I can't say frequently, but there's no way it doesn't happen at all, considering he does look homeless in a sense, and not everyone knows of his music 😂 The only thing I could see now being different then when my dad met him (which was in his White Zombie days) would be that he probably has security now and doesn't hang out near crappy motels + sketchy bars - so I guess there's probably less of a chance of people even being allowed to talk to him?
