402410, Gen X does not mean 90's 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."

"Sensibility"? It shares a sensibility with films made in the 60's like Animal House.

Also, how is Wet Hot American Summer a film made by Gen Xers and based around when actual Gen Xers would have been in those positions at the summer camp not a Gen X movie by your definition? That makes no sense whatsoever.

If you want to talk about 90's Indie Movies fine. But if you are talking about Gen X movies (which InKast now admits he wasn't really focusing on), then Dazed and Confused isn't in the conversation.
