Is the raunchy high school/college comedy genre dead?

It's been over two decades since American Pie, Road Trip, Euro Trip and Not Another Teen Movie were released.
The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Back to School, etc. were released over four decades ago.
Is this genre completely dead?

Was Breakfast Club considered raunchy?

When we stopped getting at least one boob scene in every PG movie this country went to hell.

Mostly beautiful white peoples doing heterosexual things? Can’t have that anymore.

Who didn't jerk it to a bunch of people sitting down and whining?

That was a borderline soft core late teen drama and would be in the same category as wild things, I think OP was referring to slapstick teen comedies ie American Pie.

I only watched it at the time because Sarah Michelle-Geller was really hot and it was a date movie, maybe I was the problem?

Yes, partly because comedy films are mostly dead.
But also because the primary audience for them, HS and college kids, HATE sex in movies, and are so scared of being offended or offending anyone they don't leave the house.
The boys that age do not go out and meet girls at the rate previous generations did. The stats back it up.
Its just not the culture that can produce those films anymore

Those have morphed into Perks of Being a Wallflower coming of age type movies now.
PBW was a good movie but the culture is missing the comedies you describe.
Honestly I think that plays into why gen z doesn't drink. You couldn't watch American pie and then not want to drink at high school parties.

I don’t recall a nipple ever making an appearance.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates was the closest, most recent in my view. Absolutely loved that movie.

I mean, Gen Z doesn’t really get fricked up and party. That isn’t their thing. So not much of a movie possibility there anymore
Superbad was the last true one
Then 21 Jump street showed older millennials trying to party with gen z and it kinda made fun of the culture shift
Now there is nothing to be done

Not Another Teen Movie is a fricking fantastic movie for people born in the mid-late 80's
Breakfast Club, 16 Candles were a little before my time, so American Pie, Road Trip, Varsity Blues and NATM were our equivalent. NATM hits so many stereotypes, pure comedy greatness

List of "crude humor teen comedies" (Sorted by Popularity Ascending) on IMDb
If Porky's is on the list, National Lampoon's Animal House should be too. Shouldn't Fast Times at Ridgemont High be on it too? What others are they leaving out?
The Girl Next Door (2004)?
