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.
Xer here. Not sure about clerks tbh. It came out rather late plus I fell asleep watching it lol. Would suggest repo man instead (until I think of something more suitable ).
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
