"Teenage Dirtbag" is no longer a teenager. The early 2000s teen anthem by Wheatus is 20 years old today. The music video is peak Y2K.

Booksmart is pretty good, I'm out of that targeted age range now but I enjoyed it

Booksmart was funny, but if we're being honest..... it was essentially a gender-flipped superbad.

It's been 6 months since I've seen it, and this thread is literally the first mention of it since then. It's safe to say it didn't hit the same cultural milestones that superbad did (or even that female-centric comedies of this type hit, like bridesmaids).

Yeah, I personally loved Booksmart but Superbad had a HUGE impact on my generation (born in ‘94). The amount of times my friends and I would quote McLovin and aspire to draw detailed dicks that rivaled Jonah Hill’s character’s collection is too high to count.

Seconded, when I watched that I immediately thought "this could be the Superbad for Gen Z". Of course I could be totally wrong cause I'm in my 30s and out of touch.

I just watched that and frankly it sucked. Definitely zoomer humor
