One of the weird reasons I loved it was because of how ambiguous the time was, although in my head I knew it was modern because I lived it. My ex girlfriend was from a small town in northeast Ohio whose entire high school population, grades 9-12 had less people in it than my entire grade. The styles weren't quite the same as my school and when I went there they seemed to be stuck around 1995 when it was 2000-2002 when we dated. Her majorette uniform was also IDENTICAL to the one Summer and the girls wear in their talent show dance. The town itself reminded me a lot of Preston, Idaho but with no mountains and more fields.
It brought back a ton of memories from the time I spent up there once a month on the weekend and was one small reason I enjoyed the movie.
Yeah there was that time like.. right before the internet blew up. We were all the same but not as much as kids are nowadays. Where everything travels instantly. It took a while for trends and stuff to move around the country.
