Discussion Guess the year of the yearbook!

Two different yearbooks, both from the same year. First four photos are from a school in Glendale, AZ. Last four photos are from a school in Martinsville, IN. I know this might lean more toward older millennials but still fun.

I'll share the answer later!

Edit: ANSWER IS 1997!

Some of those hair styles did not live to see late nineties. 95 at the latest

Some places were severely delayed lol. People in my church had those 80s styled hairdos well into the early 2000s.

Oh if we're talking about the South we have to recalibrate.

I grew up in a podunk town in Washington state and remember being super jealous of my classmate’s big fluffy bangs in 1996. My mom could never get my mall bangs that fluffy :( To be fair though I was 8 so not really on the bleeding edge of fashion lol

dude i went to high school in north idaho in 2011-2014 and ladies in town had 80s hair. One dude dressed like young bill gates, those big 80s glasses with button ups and jeans. He was probably wearing his dad’s clothes. He was like a walking time capsule

I’m from Maine, we were well behind even most of the south when it came to trends and styles… I would imagine other northern rural places like the UP or the Dakota’s would also be a solid decade behind somewhere urban.

I think the ones you are referring to are from Indiana.. so I'm still keeping my guess at 1998

right some of their hair confused me but the clothes gave more clues
