Napoleon Dynamite question

As we watched it for the kajillionth time last night, we realized we couldn't figure out what year is the movie supposed to take place in. DH & I were trying to figure it out last night... they play "Forever Young" and "Time After Time" at the dance, which would indicate the 80s, but then he's on the internet chatting with babes all day, which would indicate the 90s.

thoughts?

I have always believed that too. I always just assumed that the "slowness" of the town attributed to it being so behind the times.

St. Anthony's HS Prom 1997 was Forever Young from ND.

So it could have been the 90's or present day.

Forever Young was my prom song from 1988, I believe it came out in 1985(?) definitely at least a year before my prom.Chat Icon

I think that's one of the quirky things to the movie. I teach high school and there are a fair amount of kids that are really into 80's... Robert Smith of the Cure hair, day-glo, etc. I guess it's like some kids in the 80's wore tie-dyeChat Icon

"Always and Forever"
(by Kipland Ronald Dynamite)

Why do you love me?
Why do you need me?
Always and forever

We met in a chat room
Where love can fully bloom
Sure the World Wide Web is great
But you, you make me "salvavate"

Yes I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever

Our love is like a flock of doves
Flying up to heav'n above
Always and forever
Always and forever

Yes, your love is truly great
Always and forever

Why do you need me?
Why do you love me?
