I, for one, can't get over the attempt to text on a CD player.
Big news, folks: we in 2024 are the lucky recipients of a new Netflix original horror film — but the audience it seems to be scaring most is millennials.
Time Cut, a horror flick released just in time for Halloween, features Outer Banks' Madison Bailey as "a teen [who] accidentally time-travels to 2003, days before a masked killer murders her sister." You can check out the trailer below:

But reader, the scariest part of the movie is not the horror element; it's the fact that it is "set" in 2003 — and people who actually went to high school in the early aughts are not having it. So, here are some of the best millennial reactions:

I was in high school in 2003:
- nobody was allowed to wear hats in school, and girls wouldn’t anyway
- wheelies were for babies, and peaked later
- tucking jeans into Uggs?! Like that??? No
- nobody would stand around staring at music players next to friends. Literally nothing… https://t.co/1FxW4FmVRj

I cannot stop laughing at this. Nothing about what she’s seeing looks different enough from modern day to elicit this level of confusion. someone literally walks behind her in an outfit almost identical to hers. she just looks like she’s confused about the idea of clothes https://t.co/quw8ym6Q98

Young kids today would never last in a world that accepted wearing two polo shirts with popped collars. You just had to be there

Where are the rubber spiked earrings, choker necklaces, parachute pants or Etnies? Nothing about this is 2003… more like 2007 if anything at all

the funniest thing i havent seen anyone talk about is how every single article of clothing here looks completely fresh out of the box. not only are those heelies anachronistic they're literally in MINT condition https://t.co/uJFNl0eahl

One of the things that makes it feel not very 2003 is the fact that they packed every single trendy piece of technology or clothing item onto every student. More realistically, it would’ve been a couple of people who had the latest and everyone else would’ve had older things. https://t.co/Qh2ySjkTJK

Graduated in 2002, y'all are at least half a decade ahead of the curve here. Also nobody would be on their electronics in the hallway, we had friends.

No mangled eyebrows, no acne, nobody in the hall part of a visible subculture like mall goth. No crusty/greasy hair from the hair products of the time. Clothes don't look worn or frayed enough (before fast fashion made it big, people wore their clothes a lot longer) https://t.co/GtFo1d1xcO

Class of 2004 here...I think its too early to be treating early aughts as a period piece, which is why this looks goofy and inauthentic, like young kids today cosplaying us. half of the shit worn here was not allowed. one girl literally texting on a walkman. https://t.co/uTeQ1IgqFi

unlike the people who made this show, I was in high school in 2003.
y'all could've at least watched Mean Girls to get an idea of what it was like.
