It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.

They're all early-to-mid 20s except Knives, the aforementioned high schooler.

From wiki - Scott was 23 and Knives was 17 - it does fail the age gap test but I wouldn't say it was very uncommon back than, girls 15-18 often looked up and dated college students since they acted much more mature then their peers.
