For the past eight years, Mean Girls has provided us with endlessly quotable lines and introduced new words to the lexicon. (Not least of which: "that is so fetch"). The Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams film, written by Tina Fey, was released eight years ago Monday, on April 30, 2004.
It grossed $86 million at the US box office, and went on to become a lasting hit that firmly secured its place in pop culture.
Mean Girls has been dubbed the "high school teen queen" movie for this generation. In that sense, it carries the torch from other "teen queen" movies of the past such as Clueless (1995) and Heathers (1988).
Given its quotable and viral nature, Mean Girls has remained a lasting hit within internet culture. Tumblr is filled with memes and .gifs about the girls in pink. One major trend has been to mash up Mean Girls quotes with characters from other series including Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.
