The best selling cell phone of 1999 was the Nokia 3210. Yes by that time polaroids were on the way out but digital cameras were only just starting to become common.

Dunno, I remember them being en vogue by the 00s. Basically VGA resolution, but the novelty factor was large, and it was cheaper than polaroid, which was of limited usefulness and was just 1950s technology in a nifty (for the 1970s) package lingering on life support into the 90s.

What I'm getting at is that by 2003, the millennials who were listening to that Outkast song were taking "shake it like a polaroid picture" as a retro reference at best, Andre and "Big Boi" were really dating themselves. Heck, I'm probably Boomering myself here by even knowing what a credit card is, don't all the hip youth just use their phones to pay for everything?
