I dont get the timeline. What decade did Homer grow up in again? He had a grunge band in the 90s? Didn't he go to a Pumpkins concert in 1996?

This is the episode that broke Simpson's continuity.
However, it is one of the best parodies on the 90's, I've ever seen.

Pretty sure And Maggie Makes Three was the last Simpsons episode that had something resembling continuity, every flashback episode afterwards just made up random shit without thinking.

He grew up in the 60's and came of age in the 70's, and until around this episode, they maintained that. They wouldn't have this issue if they weren't fucking obsessed with flashback episodes; it's like there's a new one every season and it always rewrites the whole backstory. The Way We Was was also the best one and they only got worse.

The Simpsons timeline never made sense.
Marge and Homer were almost a decade to old to have had Bart right out of highschool.
This episode was meant to address that. Being 20-year-olds in the 90s was just floating timeline stuff, based on when the episode originally aired.

Each season is a different timeline or something idk

It seemed like there was some gap between high school and Marge getting pregnant. It was enough time for Abe to kick out Homer, Homer to move in with the Bouviers, and Homer's hair to thin. The earliest they would have had Bart would be the early 80's, and the show takes place at the beginning of the 90's.

Gulf War vet Skinner.

At this point in history, Homer is now old enough to have almost gone to the Iraq War immediately after highschool. Homer would have gotten out of highschool in 2003, and had Bart around 2009.

He can have flashbacks of Homer watching Blue Collar tv and Chappelle Show. While Marge was really into Avril Lavigne, and Homer used to work at a Blockbuster and Grandpa Simpson was in the first Iraq War. Skinner was in NATO during the Bosnian crisis where he was captured by Serbs. Then Homer was in a pop punk band that opened for Yellowcard, but lost everything during the financial crisis of 2008.

There was, Homer and Marge got out of highschool in 76, then had Bart when Homer was living with Marge's family in 81. Homer being 35 with 10 year old Bart being his first kid means he was with Marge for a while before getting her pregnant.

Simpsons should just take place in 1990 forever.

Did Chuck sell his store in the 90s?

The crew saw how hated 'That 90s Show' is and made it non canon. All future flashback issues go back to the usual timeline.

The Simpsons Crew gave up on the timeline by season 9.

I could swear there were several episodes that stated they had Bart out of high school.
Maybe it's a zombie era retcon and I'm getting it mixed up.
But in any case, that was the intent of the episode, Lisa even spells it out to the audience.
I guess they were trying to retcon a retcon.

Bart was always conceived post high school. Homer is looking for his first job when Bart is born and neither of them ever discussed school.

This would be good backstory for a new show. I would rather they just stop doing flashback episodes, they're all cheap knockoffs of The Way We Was and I Married Marge.

It was in a Lisa episode where she mentioned how she did not want to be a highschool dropout that only sits at home, and Marge is offended by that. Leading people to think Mage dropped out to have Bart.

>soon Homer and Marge will meet in the 00s
Write the episode, Zig Forums

First responders after 9/11.

I can just picture a montage of them doing new couple things and cutting to an Italian restaurant, where they kiss over a plate of spaghetti as the second tower is hit in the background and dozens of people run around panicking.

Honestly, it would be interesting to go through the series and try to figure out some kind of timeline of events for the backstories of characters. Nothing extremely concrete, of course, since it's probably impossible to reconcile any and every time difference. I'm talking more about some kind of timeline which incorporates the major events in the characters' pasts and simply organizes them in the order in which they would have most likely happened.

why are retards so triggered by a sliding timeline

Eventually Homer will become a zoomer

Because there's no point in having flashbacks at all if they're just going to change wildly from season to season. It's just calling attention to the cast's agelessness. And zombie Simpsons' shit writing is the cherry on top.

IT'S CALLED A FLOATING TIMELINE, THE SHOW CAN'T TAKE PLACE IN 2020 AND KEEP THE PAST INTACT

The timeline of the episode itself doesn't make sense either. Grunge was mostly a thing during 91-94, but then they reference stuff like the Bill Clinton scandal and the crazy number of home runs being hit in the MLB, both of which were happening in 98. So is this episode supposed to take place in 1998? That would mean the episode takes place 10 years before it aired so wouldn't this be around the time Bart is supposed to have been born? Nothing makes sense in this universe.

Simpsons blatantly disregards continuity. Moe simultaneously grew up with
Homer as a child and is a recent immigrant, for example.

springfield is silent hill's wacky cousin. that's all you need to know about the continuity
