VHS 90s Mall Teen Group Portrait

Create a candid 1990s mall-teen group portrait shot on a consumer VHS camcorder with heavy analog tape artifacts. The scene shows exactly 5 teenagers standing indoors in a mall or department-store hallway under warm fluorescent ceiling lights: 1 central teenage girl in the foreground and 4 background teens behind her, two on the left and two on the right. The central subject wears a loud multicolor geometric windbreaker over a beige ribbed turtleneck, large gold hoop earrings, and has long messy black hair pulled into a high half-ponytail with a scrunchie; she holds up a peace sign with her right hand close to the camera and faces forward. The background teens wear exaggerated retro clothing: one in a colorful patterned sweater holding a soda can, one in layered denim, one in a blue denim jacket over a white shirt, and one in a bold patterned knit sweater with star-like shapes. All faces are intentionally anonymized by soft rectangular blur blocks, including the central subject and the four background teens. Use a nostalgic disposable-camera/VHS aesthetic with flash-lit skin tones, slight fisheye perspective, grain, scanlines, chromatic noise, horizontal tracking glitches, muted but saturated colors, and a low-resolution 4:3 frame. Add an orange camcorder date stamp in the bottom-right reading {argument name="date stamp" default="OCT 12 '94"}. Overall mood: kooky, awkward, fun, retro mall hangout energy. The central teen's jacket color palette should be {argument name="jacket colors" default="teal, purple, mustard, coral, and navy"}, her hair should be {argument name="hair color" default="black"}, and the setting should feel like {argument name="setting" default="a 1990s shopping mall interior"}.
