Mean Girls: Fashion, High School and Teen Drama

When it comes to movies made in the 2000s, there are slight differences that deviate from the other decades' movies. The 2000s are more colorful, more hopeful, and full of love. In today's article, we will look closely at one of the famous movies made in the 2000s.

Besides the fact that low-rise jeans and halter tops shaped the fashion sense in the 2000s, Mean Girls shaped almost everything, from fashion to teen girl state of mind. The movie starts with Candy Heron becoming a North Shore High School student. Her first friends at school, Janis Ian and Damian Leigh, explain the almost complicated anatomy of North Shore High School. Before it is too late, they warn Candy about the "Plastiques". Plastiques is the name of the friend group of three girls: Gretchen Wieners, Karen Smith, and the "queen bee" Regina George. They are known to be pretty, popular, and mean. However, the Plastiques don't scare Candy; they inspire her. Scene by scene, we observe Candy transform from the old homeschooled girl from Africa to the new cruel Plastique member or "homeschooled jungle freak who is a less hot version of Regina George".

I don't know if the fashion or something else makes the 2000s movies so iconic. But everything seems easier and younger when the movies include high school, colorful and fashionable outfits, and a little teen drama. And they are definitely more iconic when they aren't about job searching and budget management. All in all, teen movies in the 2000s are an aspect of a teenage girl who ponders about the problems she will not even remember about in 5 years. And Mean Girls is an excellent example of opening a window to fashion and teen drama.
