OT: Cool New Yorker Article on "Dazed and Confused" Generation (those born '56-'64)

Forgot about Mean Girls. Heathers is another I would consider.

Different eras I think. Mean Girls more Gen Y, Heathers firmly Gen X.

Ok that was it. Wasn’t there a movie the legend of Billie Jean.

He’s in that movie, but his sister Helen is the star…

I think it was actually Gleaming the Cube with Christian Slater.

Thats probably it. I don't remember it. But I know that Slater rode a skate board to school in Pump up the Volume.

Would love to show vision quest to kids but those awesome movies don’t translate to today. Showed them breakfast club pretty in pink sixteen candles and they were like, ughh. Breakfast club they said we would have removed our selves from those conversations. That is the world today.
They did like karate kid, can’t buy me love, back to the future, Ferris bueller, the outsiders.

Very cool article. If American Graffiti defines the early 60's and Dazed and Confused defines the mid-70s (both halves of the Boomer Generation), what movie or movies best define Gen X and the 80s?

The Wedding Singer
