I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

    Right, but the entire premise of OP's post was that hipsters thought the movie was aspirational and that fucked up the vibe in bars for years?

    If there's no message and no point, what did these people misinterpret? How would being yourself fuck up the vibe in dive bars?

    I've never been a bar person at all so I wouldn't know, but I truly don't even get what OP is talking about, other than complaining about people adopting a "nerd chic" vibe in which case the OP also misinterpreted the film.
