So I felt clerks was like the movie that captured the Xer feel and I was seeing a discussion of superbad and I sorta wonder if that might be the millenial one and american graffiti seems to be talked about in terms of boomers and maybe rebel without a cause for silent and maybe grapes of wrath for the greatest generation. Im grasping here. with the lost generation you have the dawn of movies but I was thinking the jazz singer. Im really not sure with Z and my guess for millenials seems a bit early but they have started making generational ranges under the 20 year standard in span I think under the auspices that things just change faster now. Theoretically Z would be coming out about now or in the last few years. What are folks opinions. Yes and I realize generations are artificial buckets so I would appreciate comments being kept to what you think the movies might be if your game to go through the hypethetical.
How about Wayne’s World, or is that too early?
I feel like snl stuff is just to mass market and the characters are to much of caricatures.
Wayne’s world is almost too on the nose honestly. Myers & co captured the 80s rocker character well. They/we were everywhere then. But it’s a silly movie so doesn’t quite fit with your theme.
My original thought was Fast Times. Just searched quintessential gen x movies and it came up on top of the list along with all the others mentioned here. Oddly I haven’t seen half of them lol
