Having been a teenager approximately 20 years ago, no this wouldn't. We partied and went out, and played video games and surfed the net back then too.

Eh. I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the "nerds" back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won't be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn't consider their experience is the same as everyone else's either.
