This is an 80s kids movie. And 80s kids bands. Or more specifically, 80s teens stuff.

I was born in the 80s, and I think I watched this movie once but it was definitely less a part of my cultural upbringing than OG power rangers and Ace of Base, lol.

Came to say this. Breakfast Club released in 1985.

I am a 53 year old gen X born in the 60’s. This film is of my generation’s culture, not someone born in the 90’s.

90s kids generally refers to people who came of age in the 90s. Nevertheless, this is all 80s, although Joy Division just barely counts as an 80s band

I graduated high school in 1985. This movie spoke to me at the time.
