Context is important. I've heard young people argue that the Beatles weren't all that great, and then go on to name modern artists who would have never existed without them. I'm late Gen-X and my wife is late millennial. We watched Pulp Fiction together and she didn't get it. I realized then how much of it was groundbreaking because of the time of its release. Someone watching it now just won't be blown away like I was when I first saw it. I imagine if we went back and watched Blade Runner it would be another forgettable movie to her and not the groundbreaking masterpiece it was when I saw it for the first dozen times. Reminds me of the Steely Dan song 'Hey Nineteen'...
