HI OMG got so excited when i saw this question i've been waiting for someone to ask so i can reveal how much thought i put into this... the fic takes place in december 1994/january 1995 so right in the mid 90s!!!! i literally was so strict with myself i had the 1994 calendar open the whole time i was writing so i could keep the dates consistent and i had myself looking up shit like when seatbelt laws were put in each state and like the playlist has no songs that would have come out after that i was not messing around 😭😭😭 cd players were still relatively new on the scene but according to my (admittedly not very thorough) research they were already kind of popping off by the mid 90s so there definitely could still be inaccuracies but i did my very best to make it match the year 🫡 THANKS FOR ASKING KEKE
