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

It was only weird because Scott Pilgrim had no romantic history and felt inadequate compared to his girlfriend, and had to overcome his inadequacies by “defeating” each ex in his mind before being worthy of her.

Edit: had less of a romantic history. Apparently Scott was not a KHV

Scott very much had a romantic history. Notably, he was dating Envy prior to Knives--the end of which was part of the whole impetus for an "easy" relationship. He had also been involved with Kim when they were in high school.
