- The special 1999 category names the email insult as the winner, with Counting Crows underscoring a loss-of-virginity scene as runner-up.
- Sebastian’s unusually small, expensive phone and Sean Patrick Thomas’s prominent casting are additional period markers.
- Seventeen magazine’s plot importance and Mrs. Caldwell’s Colin Powell donation defense of her racial attitudes are additional nominees.
- Annette’s clothing and bras are retrospectively suggested as period markers; the styling is considered comparatively frumpy and possibly deliberate.
- The published teenage virginity essay is singled out more precisely as a period marker; comparable contemporary personal essays would appear online or on social media.
- The Brady Bunch reference in Kathryn’s speech is suggested as another generational marker.
