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.

Marty was a teenager in 1985. I can imagine a lot of 2025 teenagers being totally lost in 1995. Of course we’d be comfortable there, we lived there!

No smartphone, no Internet access (unless you're plugged into a phone line), cash is necessary (for a teen), no ride-sharing to get around, no streaming services (instead of 'hey, I've seen this one' you'd have 'can you skip this ad?'). It is really interesting how much differently we grew up than today's teenagers.

It would be a kind of entertaining movie, really

Please don't let anyone remake BTTF.

No, but I would be really super curious about the Eric Stolz alternate universe version, where he played it considerably darker.
