Scenes I want to see in the iconic 90s teen movie in my mind
90s teen movies were crap compared to the 80s (other than Clueless). They got Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, we got She's All That and Can't Hardly Wait. Deeply unfair. The best depictions of adolescence made in the 90s (again besides Clueless, the greatest movie of all time) took place in the 70s; Dazed and Confused and Freaks and Geeks. Well, it has been 20 years since 1993, it is time for the great 90s retro teen movie. It should hit several marks including
1. A white girl (preferably blonde) very earnestly singing Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" at her school/summer camp talent show.
2. Only the rich kid has a cellphone.
3. Someone is referred to as an "alternachick"
4. Something nonconsensual happens while Dave Matthew's Crash or Lover Lay Down is playing.
5. A white guy with Dreads.
6. Bulimia, it's so 90s.
7. Shoplifting from Contempo Casuals.
8. Pictures of a young Leonardo Dicaprio posted in the girls' lockers.
9. Manic Panic dye jobs*
*Said it before I'll say it again. This trend has returned. If you are old to enough to have done it the first time, you don't get to do it the second time.
