This is all 80s stuff.
Why do zoomers keep confusing the 90s with the 80s and 70s? We weren’t THAT primitive. We had internet and cell phones too. Modern clothing styles basically began in the late 90s. We had dropped the neon, spandex, and big hair by the early 90s. A dude wearing what that dude in blue is wearing woulda got his ass kicked in school.
The 90s were the transition point from the “old world” pre-internet to the modern era. By the 2000s, everyone I knew was online.
This is kind of like asking my mother how accurate a picture of the great depression is. It’s 20 years before her time.

Part of me thinks they do it intentionally at this point.
Ian Curtis died in 1980 The Clash broke up in 1986 The Smiths broke up in 1987
… Not very accurate
I have a friend who’s from 73 and this movie impacted him. I think you have to be born in the early 70s or late 60s for this to be part of your pop cultural wave.
I’d go with: Motley Cru, Bruce Springsteen, the Cure, Duran Duran, the Smiths
So much better
The Clash were a 70s band and you’re missing The Cure
tbh this is more 80s kids than 90s
At least The Clash remained an active band throughout the 80s. Joy Division is by all rights a 70s band. Ian Curtis died five months into 1980.
By the 80’s, Joy Division was New Order
90s? I was born in 1990, I don’t consider any of those bands of my era.
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
