1995 was a great year to be a teenager – at least, that’s what I’ve been telling myself since my days as a rueful adolescent in the 2010s. The source of my inexplicable longing for times past was, largely, Clueless and Empire Records, two coming-of-age rom-coms that piled on all the alternative rock and plaid skirts an old-soul girl could dream of. Members of local acts Hex Boyfriend, Tied Up, Lola Tried, Drip Fed, Subpar Snatch, and more share my nostalgia by performing songs from each soundtrack this week at Vegas. Lace up your Docs and track down the biggest toy cell phone you can to honor these aging classics the right way. – Carys Anderson
