LemmyLaLibreHow accurate is this, 90's kids?
Bernie EcclestonedThe Clash were a 70s band and you’re missing The Cure
tbh this is more 80s kids than 90s
d00phyThey may have started in the mid-late 70s, but London Calling was released Dec, 1979, and Combat Rock was ‘82. I think calling them an ‘80s band is fair.
Yeah, I think I just associate punk rock with the 70’s, whereas the others are definitely more 80s. I’d swap Joy Division for New Order for the perfect set.
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, they were New Order
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.
sicjokeCame 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
HubertMannelike everyone else I came to say this is from the 80's. I see a lot of this though. Bleed from one decade to another and in tv shows depicting the decades so of course folks not around think its accurate.
I’d go with: Motley Cru, Bruce Springsteen, the Cure, Duran Duran, the Smirhs
So much better
My 5 from the '90s was:
The Pixies Pavement Radiohead Elliot Smith Smashing Pumpkins
90s? I was born in 1990, I don’t consider any of those bands of my era.
LastI’ve only ever heard of Duran Duran. We were watching Rugrats during this time.
southsamuraiIf you’re going off of the characters matching the bands, it isn’t a bad lineup, I guess. The smiths wouldn’t fit, but the rest are mostly on target from what I remember of the movie. Could switch out duran for Springsteen, and joy division for maybe depeche mode or the cure, but that’s nitpicking.
But the smiths weren’t exactly a well known band everywhere at that time. Kinda hit or miss in that regard.
tox_solidNot accurate at all. You’re a decade early.
AidsAcrossAmericaBro we're old now, but not THAT old.
TimeSquirrelWhy do zoomers keep confusing the 90s with the 80s and 70s? We weren't THAT primitive. We had internet and cell phones too.
Why do zoomers keep confusing the 90s with the 80s and 70s?
Part of me thinks they do it intentionally at this point.
Nirvana, Backstreet Boys, Bif Naked, Britney Spears, D.J. Tiesto
Ian Curtis died in 1980 The Clash broke up in 1986 The Smiths broke up in 1987
… Not very accurate
This is all 80s stuff.
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 culture wave.
