As a Gen Xer born in 1977, MY Gen X movies showed up in the '90s.
The way I see it, a Gen X '90s movie should primarily be one that captures the experience of '70s and early '80s babies during their teen and young adult years.
It’s not just “any movie we watched in the '90s,” we're talking about the movies that reflected our cultural moment, attitudes, and struggles. The ones that actually felt like they were made for the younger half of Gen X.
Natalie explores the quintessential films that defined the Generation X experience throughout the early 1990s. This first part of a two-part series examines how specific movies from 1990 to 1994 captured the unique cultural moments, attitudes, and struggles of those coming of age during this transformative decade.
