you guys are being idiots, dazed and confused is clearly a gen x movie.

it shares a sensibility with films made at the same time, and is enjoyed most by people who are gen xers or early gen y-folks like me.

it was at a time when young people were trying to appropriate 70s culture, even more so than now, and parker posey's in the fucking movie for god's sake.

just like wet hot american summer is not a gen x movie (it's not, gen x is old), aliens don't watch star trek, and borat isn't for kazakhs (kazakhstanis?). no need to be so damn literal.

i wouldn't call it THE archetypal 90s movie, but it's not miscategorized here.
