That was a part of Austin, and if you went to the right places you saw concentrations of that. I'm sure you still can. But it didn't represent Austin as a whole

That was a part of Austin, and if you went to the right places you saw concentrations of that. I'm sure you still can. But it didn't represent Austin as a whole. The movie represented a particular experience. Does that experience still exist? Probably its different than it was then, but there are still lots of free-thinking bohemian misfits in Austin, even though most of us who were here in the 90s grew up and probably don't resemble that anymore. But if you come to austin and go to The Domain expecting it to be a crowd from the move Slackers and then complain that Austin isn't what it used to be then you are not getting it.

Yeah but no one in their right mind would do that. That's verging on a straw man argument. edit: I stand corrected. People are stupid.
