"Feeling Old" - 2014 edition

[TheCommandTent]

What is this "breakfast club" you speak of??  :o



*ducks*

Please tell us you're joking, Tent.  Otherwise, we'll see to it you wake up cold as a witches titty this morning.

He aint joking...according to my new math, Tent was not born until two years after the release of The Breakfast Club.

Gus' new math is correct.   8)

Tent - "Nevermind" was a collection of songs from a band called "Nirvana" from back when you had to buy little round shiny discs to put into a "CD player" to hear the music.  There was none of this just-click-and-download-the-song crap back then.

AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!

^HA. Can't it be 1990 forever? Hell I'll take 1995 too.

[MetalDog]

1988 please.  And Nirvana sucks.

I did prefer the Smashing Pumpkins end of things.

Depeche Mode has been around for 34 years.....   :'(

You know I still like DMs music too. I can't say that about too many other comparable bands, like U2 for instance.

I wonder what Llyod Dobler is doing these days?

I thought so too. That movie was a milestone of my youth. 25 years...fuck.

[bayonetbrant]

A good characterization for those of us in our 40s came out in a discussion today

Fast Times at Ridgemont High was our freshman year of high school
Sixteen Candles was our sophomore year
The Breakfast Club was our junior year
Say Anything was our senior year

and then we all grew up really fast, because Singles was our mid-20s, even though it came out not long after Say Anything.  There just weren't any particularly good (post-)college movies for our generation, mainly because St Elmo's Fire was about 6 years too early and a bit of a mess.

Pretty in Pink might fit in there somewhere, but none of us are going to admit to it.

you forget Dead Poets Society.
and Heathers.
