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.
I’m either really late genX or really early millennial depending how you define it, but Pump Up The Volume was the one that did it for me.
My older brother is like that for boomers. He is a really young boomer. Its actually pretty telling how different his life is from the older boomers and how different it is for me as an Xer and how different I see it for younger folks. Basically the farther you go the better but you want to be born after the great depression. Even earlier aint bad. It sucked as a kid but as long as the postwar boom happens by like 16 its all better and better going forward. Except for the whole draft thing. In some ways it would be great where the draft was officially called off when you turned 17 so you lost the stress of the draft. You would have lost a lot of the largess but you could just squeeze into the point in time where a college degree was a bit optional for leading a decent life.
