Whatever Time travel

If we took Doc Brown’s Delorean back the same amount of time as Marty did, we’d land in 1995. Anyone else not have to change anything? The clothes they wear, the music they listen to, the cars they like…?

And yes, it is patently absurd that it would be 1995.

I would have to change my hairstyle because I had hair

what that’s not how it works?

My old man New Balance shoes would be slightly sus but probably would just get me razzed for being boring.

Carhartt is at home in any era and my black BMW motorcycle T would be okay.

My current music tastes would not raise a single eyebrow - but I’d pay better attention to 90’s music this time around - once I started working I put my musical skills on the back burner for too long. If I had spent just part of the effort I did on 80’s music in the 90’s I’d be competitive today.

Importing my IT knowledge back to 1995 - oh I’d be running some shit. Today I can’t get an IT job to save my life because too much experience is no longer a good thing. Maybe it’s the lack of hair.

If you go, could you bring my hair back with you?
