You're right, but they also weren't created in a vacuum. There must have been something behind the idea that it got to the point that Hollywood would make a movie about it. And these aren't the only two cornerstones, for some reason David Cross (while hilarious) comes to mind as someone that embodied that smugness that everything sucked. He put out another album last year and I couldn't get through it because he was still doing the same thing.
- hugh3 15y agoSure, there was something behind the idea. But it was a combination of thinking: a) "Waah, life sucks, I can't get everything I want", and b) "This is somehow a problem unique to my generation" both of which are universal thoughts held by the more introspective and less thoughtful members of each generation. I've never actually seen Reality Bites -- too early for me. But I've seen "Fight Club". Wow, has that movie aged badly. "We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives." Awww freaking diddums, Mr Durden. We have four wars and a depression, wanna swap?
