There’s no way it’s set in the '90s given that the first season was set in 1983, but maybe the show has just moved on to '90s references? Because hiring the daughter of two very '90s actors, playing a '90s archetype would make sense then. I suspect, however, that it’s just coincidence mixed with anachronistic description (and, to be fair, Hawke and Thurman both were acting in the '80s), given the significant role that the '80s setting/nostalgia plays. Sometimes the meta-80s-ness of the show gets a bit confusing.
