Elijah and Sydney’s experience in the set

In this, another nostalgic comedy program showing the teenager’s life in the 90s, among the many new actors are old ones that we are absolutely in love with. And among them is Sydney Sweeney who plays the role of a mean girl and a drama queen representing every single mean kind of girl that we find in every other place possible.

She and her other fellow actor-Elijah Stevenson (playing the bully of the school and the boyfriend of the drama queen) did an amazing interview with MTV where they talked about their experience and shared about their school days.

Once a nerd while the other worried about being criticized by others

Most interesting among all was the part where they talked about the clubs they were in during high school and middle school.

While Stevenson was somewhat a part of the drama club as in the series, Sweeney was in no way near the club being a nerdy one in the school. She was on the math team and the soccer team and talked about the math not being the ‘oh so GREAT’ team of the school.

Elijah who was in theatre in middle school didn’t join one in high school because it was thought not to be cool for boys to be in theatre during their high school days.

The return of Gwen Stefani’s baby hair buns

Besides all those interesting talks they also spoke about Emaline’s fashion. Sweeney had already made it clear about Emaline being confused and copying others’ styles. And to show herself cool, she was seen copying Gwen Stefani’s styles which also included her baby hair buns.

According to Sweeney, it was quite a painful but cool experience.

“They were hurting really bad! I didn’t like all my hair up in it, but I did like it when it was just the couple in the front and long in the back because I loved my hair big like that. I wish my hair was as big as Emaline’s hair every day. It was so cool.”

The 90s slang

Slangs are in other words, trends. Shortening the words or giving some style to it, people use it to seem cool and not to be doubtful, people surely used slang A LOT back in those days.

Being the young group of actors, they were unsure about the words being used in their dialogues so they ended up googling the words.

Sydney regarding slang, said:

“OK, so, when our characters were playing spin the bottle, they were making us say the weirdest things. And we could not stop laughing. There was apple-bobbing, pumpkin-patching, heavy-petting… We were like, “Is this what kids in the ’90s were into?”

While Elijah was like:

“I remember when you had to say apple-bobbing, and we had to look it up.”

Loving yourself and making good friends

Relating to the story of the series, the two of them were also telling their high school self and Sydney said that she would remind herself of loving herself rather than trying to make others happy. As she said that she used to work or do things just to please others and couldn’t be happy.

Whereas Elijah cared more about making true friends. Only loving yourself is never enough for a high-schoolers. Rather than trying to fit in a large group of people, you need to try to make friends for the future as well.
