Marty would say “no cap” often causing Doc to ask what the future had to do with headwear.
“Does everyone wear hats in the future? Did the ozone hole get bigger?”
Yeah, that’s how time and math works
He would play Daft Punk and they wouldn’t be ready for it.
Daft Punk were already around in 95 though
Yeah, basically all dancey electronic music was invented in the nineties, little remained to discover. Idm and breakcore already came about with the crazy structures. Dubstep is the one major missing link, but it’s pretty straightforward evolution from dnb.
Fun fact: Scorn’s ‘Greetings from Birmingham’ came out in 2000 (made by former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris), but somehow the dubstep genre got entirely hijacked by the London people later on.
Harder!
Daft! Daft! It’s Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Punk?
Naw, he’d play something more incomprehesible to the 90s, like skrillex or the later evolutions of the genre.
I feel like Dillon Francis is the right level of “starts out normal enough, then devolves into chaos”
“I Need YOU YOu You you yo y-”
Opens with Marty mumble rapping in fron of a giant speaker that explodes.
Not quite the same timeframe, but that clip of the surviving members of The Doors listening to Skrillex is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen.
Maybe some manic hyperpop
Or some kpop
Kpop started in the 90s with Seo Taiji and Boys.
Hyperpop didn’t start until the 2010s.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ‘99… wear… sunscreen.”
I feel like he’d start talking in brain rot and be like, “Your kids are gonna love it.”
Like, yeah, that’s how time and math work.
But not how humans tend to perceive the passage of time.
The more important question, what car would be the one modified ti become a time machine?
In the category of “quirky and iconic but affordable sports car just a few years old at the time of the plot” there’s probably only one obvious choice for 1995: Mazda MX-5
Yeah, my thought was either a Miata or maybe go a bit more exotic and go with the Lotus Elise (first released in 1996).
Lotus Elise would almost have been a perfect fit, if it had been a little less expensive and released a couple of years earlier.
As far as short-lived US brands with only one production model go, there are two choices in the recent past - Fisker Karma and Lordstown Endurance.
Based on Hollywood’s current casting priorities, it would have to be a Subaru.
And Marty would have to be played by Zendaya. With Pedro Pascal as Doc.
I’m not ashamed to say i would enjoy that.
Based on the stainless steel body requirements, I know the answer and I don’t like it.
If they remake BTTF with a Cybertruck we should burn down the movie studio
Yeah, remember Doc Brown’s reason for choosing the DeLorean was because, “If you’re gonna travel through time, you ought to do it in style”.
Cybertruck is not style unless you are a brain-rotted seven-year-old.
Maybe a Rivian? You’d have to come up with a different issue other than the car not starting, like the difficulty of charging it or something.
Except DeLorean’s reputation was as unreliable and lame.
But stylish. Cybertruck is Sega Genesis graphics shoved into a ps1 body
I think about joke in the movie would be its supposed to be a cyberpunk, but the vehicle falls apart during a test run, so they use a Ford focus instead.
What car could they be referring…
stainless steel body…
AH FUCK YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Took me a second and I wish I hadn’t figured it out
Would watch.
And then he’d be in the future of '56 where people are calling each other “choom” and solar power doesn’t work cause of all the dust and pollution in the sky, but people wear two neckties sometimes.
Sounds nova
Stop, stop, it’s getting too real!
DELET
fuck
My guess is that the time machine would be a Pontiac Grand Am.
Doc breathes you made a TIME machine catches breath out of a CyberTruck?
Einstein explodes
Who would the terrorists be?
Make it be Jan6ers
beat me to it
And instead of promising a functional dirty bomb and it’s irrefutable evidence of 2020 election tampering 😂🤣😂
“I promised them I’d get them the true Q story, but I just took a bunch of Alex Jones rants and existing conspiracy theories and mixed them up”
How about a Pontiac Aztek?
“I had to modify it so that it would be able to reach 88 miles per hour. The tires are the only factory original parts left.”
“The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?”
Yeah no wouldn’t work with an Aztek
It’s ironic, which was invented in 2006
The movie this screen capture is from is so bizarre in a scary way (don’t want to give away the plot)
The Menu (2022)
Ralph Fiennes Anya Taylor-Joy Nicholas Hoult Hong Chau Janet McTeer Judith Light John Leguizamo“I told you weren’t leaving”
“I want a cheeseburger.”
I’ll make you a very good, very traditional cheeseburger.
I fucking hate the ending.
Good movie. If anyone missed it. Add it to your watch list.
1996!
I know the earth is old, but I don’t think it’s THAT old!
BTTF3 would just be the mid 1920s, which we haven’t seen yet, so that’s… something… right?
Marty went to 1931 in the Telltale game, which is close!
I think the difference is between how much things were chamging back then. The 50s were very different to the 80s. Technology changed completely and also the 80s were post-vietnam which caused huge changes in the culture. As for the 90s its all about digital technology and computers aaand so is today? Theres a reason for(at least for people arround me cause im gen z 💀) our grandparents being ‘technology shocked’ so much while our parents grew up sorta with the same stuff as us. Yes the access was different but my mom used to play pirated videogames on a computer at the library. That definitely wasnt a thing in the 50s. Thats my perspective at least. Also me being eastern european may influence this cause for us time and progression was locked for so long and the 80s freed all of it up.
The omnipresence of the internet and its perversion into a tool of the surveillance state would be the most shocking thing to a lot of people, I think. If you told an adult from the early 90s that all of their communications would go through one device that you kept in your pocket and that large corporations and governments were collecting data from it 24/7, they’d shit a brick.
I think a teenager like Marty from today would have a hard time navigating communication in the 90s as well. Like you had to get your hands on the Yellow Pages and use a pay phone or a land line somewhere. People weren’t walking around with cell phones that you could just borrow, and you couldn’t just look someone up with their name on social media and send them a DM. That’s something that I think is much more different 1996 to 2026 than 1955 to 1985.
Today, the Internet is something which just exists and is deeply (forcefully) entrenched in our everyday lives. A teenager from today would have their mind blown that in 1995 you had to hook your computer up to the phone jack to access the Internet and it’d be difficult to do much without Google as the default search.
In 1998, my father sent me to school with a pager you could leave voice messages on. My friends were amazed how advanced it was.
1995-2005 was all about Chatrooms (AOL, IRC, AIM) and early social media. 2015-2026 is all about Chatrooms and social media being taken over by corporate interests, state actors, and political public opinion manipulation all posing as the AOL, IRC, AIM era.
