What's the millennial/zoomer equivalent of these movies?

What sphere are you even defining, they are just hangout films dicking around for the majority of its runtime.

Early millennial: American pie
Mid millennial: Superbad
Late millennial: Chronicle
Early zoomer: Fault in our stars

Millennials are zoomers aren't really quite old enough yet to be making languid nostalgic movies about their childhoods. Maybe we'll see one soon

Mid90s might actually be the first movie made that actually fits the description set by OP, I think that movie is OK but I hope to God we get a better one eventually

Ironically 36 year old Millennials made Stranger things, even though they would be mostly too young to remember the 80s (their prime childhood would be in 1990-1996).

Yeah mid90s is basically millennial Dazed and Confused. And Everybody Wants Some! is Gen X Dazed and Confused.

Everybody Wants Some is made by the same director as Dazed and Confused about the same generation. They were just made decades apart

napoleon dynamite

i honestly don't think we have one yet. late 90s/00s nostalgia is really just starting out. pic related is our stand by me though.

mid 90s is just a remake of kids but on the west coast

Dazed and confused was about the late boomer/gen x cusp. Gen xers weren't in high school in 1976 (going by the common 1965 start date).

Spring Breakers

Detention from 2011

Dazed and Confused was about a group of high school freshman in 1976, Everybody Wants Some was about a group of college freshman 4 years later in 1980

nah that's our breakfast club

I have a theory that Everybody Wants Some! was originally going to be a direct sequel to D&C. The lead was originally going to be Mitch from Dazed. Think about it. Both baseball players, Mitch would have been a college freshman by 1980. Both films are still set in Texas. It matches up to me imo

I talk to a lot of people who hate that kid in the movie because he keeps touching his face. That's what kids do at that age when they are trying to be cool in front of new friends, they have little nervous habits like that.

anyone see the sequel? was it any good?

Yeah I mean I don't think its coincidence that the movies are about High School then College freshman set exactly four years apart. And both leads play baseball. I think its a "sequel" in all but name

That kid was my first crush when I was like 11

unironically Lena Dunham's Girls

I wonder why he didn't go direct sequel then. The movie absolutely fucking bombed when it came out. I feel like it might have done better if it had been a direct sequel instead of just "from the maker of"

that's just millennial sex in the city

If superbad is there, Napoleon Dynamite should be too.

These don't focus enough on the actual youth culture of the period though. They're pretty timeless actually. Whereas American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused are about creating an idealized version of adolescence in a certain decade. Big emphasis on the music and fashion, the setting, capturing the various archetypes of the period.

I mean, all he would have to do is change the name of the lead character and it would be a sequel. When doing promo for the movie he called it a "spiritual sequel"
Linklater's movies frequently bomb. Most of his movies are for a pretty niche audience

I watched this as a teenager and thought it was cool af. Rewatched it a few years ago and disliked it. It's just a bunch of people that won't shut the fuck up.

The things is that the standard set by OP would be movies by people of a generation reflecting nostalgia for that generation's childhood. All of these movies are made by an older generation about a current younger generation. Hence why I said earlier that really only Mid90s works as a comparison and its just not time yet for us to see this kind of work from Milliennials, or rather maybe the time is right now

Mid90s is literally like that for millennials. Jonah Hill is a millennial. I swear people here have such a skewed perception of generations. You have zoomers in their early 20s who think they're millennials despite some millennials being in their 40s now.

Clueless?

It sounds like you're debating me but we agree? Maybe I'm misreading you

I'm thinking its a communication error on my part yeah. Idk its just retarded seeing 22 year olds on Yas Forums complaining about zoomers like they aren't literally zoomers.

Human Traffic and for bong millennials

skins was pretty formative for a lot of americans too

sex in the city is millennial sex and the city, girls is a different audience

Now you've got 18 year olds claiming they're "Not Gen Z" because they played Minecraft growing up, and that Gen Z "really starts with" 12 year olds who play Fortnite.

fuckin this

this movie gives me so much nostalgia

Boyhood. The only emotion it got out of me when I saw it was nostalgia.

True, and he is Linklater's self-insert.

We'll see the millennial equivalent in the next decade.

If we go by the standars set by American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, and Mid90s as some in this thread say, there is always a 2 decade gap between the era protrayed and when the movie is made.

22-year-olds aren't Zoomers, they're late Millennials.

Well, according to Strauss, who coined Millennial and was one of the founders of generational-dating, Millennials extend to 2004. He's a more trustworthy source than Yas Forums who shifts generation's years every-so-often. I remember when 2001 was considered the Gen Y/Gen Z break; now it's magically 1995. Interesting how that works, as though older Millennials dislike younger Millennials so much that they try and self-segregate their own generation by fudging the years.

stranger things

At the end of the day this shit is arbitrary but you're actual retarded if you think kids born in the late 90s have more in common with people born in the mid-late 80s to early 90s then with kids born in the aughts. The upbringing was completely different. Most millennials didn't have internet until they were teens for gods sake.

Nothing they come up with will match these two movies. There's something magical about them. Boomers I know that have watched them think they're almost 100% accurate to a point of being documentary/anthropology. Two things the millennials can't keep up with are the cars and music. I'm a millennial and hate nigger rap then and hate it even more now. Not even touching the emo/punk fag noise. As for cars, 1993 Toyota Celica and 94 hatchback Civics with fart cannons on them aren't exactly cool

>As for cars, 1993 Toyota Celica and 94 hatchback Civics with fart cannons on them aren't exactly cool

Neither would the average beater a 60s or 70s teen would have been driving either. Its about the romanticism. There's still kids super into car culture. My buddy's little brother basically blows his McDonalds paycheck on shit for his car and does street races with his friends all the time.

You repeat this in every thread. Strauss and Howe used their 1982-2004 range in 1991 before the internet became popular and 9/11 happened. Those events shortened the millennial timeline and created zoomers.

People used to make fun of 1999-borns for calling themselves "90s kids" and said how 1999 borns are exactly the same as 2000 borns.

But now you see all these "Are you a boomer 1980-1999 or a zoomer 2000-2020" or "Born Dec 31 1999 vs Jan 1 2000" memes where late 90s babies try to cram themselves into the old school.

>Younger Millennials
Superbad and Meangirls

Older Millennials: American Pie? Older Millennials chime in. Eurotrip?

Zoomers: ...none? I mean, there have been a few made but none have had the cultural impact. Maybe a paid unboxing video on youtube or something.

Paper towns
Edge of seventeen
Eighth grade

Millenial reporting in. For me its Napoleon dynamite, but I suspect that ND really only applies to rural flyover states. Millenials from the cities and urban zones are like a completely different group of people.

Yeah, there have been a bunch made but the cultural impact just isn't there. Eighth Grade is the most notable one here but it seems to have been more of a critics favorite rather than being embraced by Zoomers themselves.
