Per TRS, this is YMMV and not Trivia

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** "1985" is about scoffing at a woman who has yet to catch up to culture of TheNineties. To illustrate how out of touch she it, the singer notes that she's no Music/LimpBizkit fan, a band whose popularity did not survive long past the TurnOfTheMillennium.
** "High School Never Ends" falls into this as well. Referencing early 2000's celebrity stories like Creator/TomCruise's marriage to Creator/KatieHolmes, [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen Mary Kate Olsen's]] weight loss, and so on. Several of these use just their ''first'' names ("How did Mary Kate lose all that weight / And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight"), which makes it more confusing for those who didn't grow up during those celebrities' heyday.
* While the band may have started in Wichita Falls, Texas, they don’t claim it as their hometown and instead claim Denton as their origin.
