Ah I do love these takes based on an article with hand picked reviews by teenagers done entirely to get rage clicks.
When have you ever trusted the review process of 16 year old girls

The best part of this post is that the foreign actors were clearly having a blast being silly stereotypes of their countries/regions

You're not wrong, but Gen Z is terrible.
I mean they created cancel culture for God's sake.

I thought so too for the longest time but just about all of the ranges posted on here say 80/81 was when millennials started. Not that it really matters in upbringing. I didn’t have internet access until college, had a rotary phone as a kid, and didn’t get a Nokia brick until my junior year at lsu

No they didn’t, cancel culture existed long before Gen Z was even alive

You bring up a valid point.
Although generation years are good starting points, this assumes that everybody is all equal in their upbringing/socio-economic situation.
For instance I was born in 1990 (solid Millennial timeline wise), but my family was dirt poor and all of my siblings were born between 78-81.
We didn't have a computer in the house till I was damn near out of middle school. I didn't get a cell phone until junior year of high school.
My dad didn't have a cell phone until sometime before Katrina and it was a Nokia.
And because my siblings were raised in the 80s, I listened/watched exclusively 80s/early 90s shows/songs that my family recorded on VHS tapes or had A-tracks/cassettes of
Both of my parents were divorced, I solidly identify with Gen X moreso than Millennials. Particularly those born after 1994.
My wife is the same way as she grew up in a village in the middle of nowhere Alaska, had older siblings, and she was born in 89.

For one, who thinks it's OK to record AND broadcast a masturbating teenage girl (unawares) on the internet? For all of the "groomer" nonsense polluting these boards, it's ironic a lot of yall seem to be OK with a violation like this.
"American Pie"
It's also true that the movies represent almost entirely the leering, male gaze. That's fine and all - just don't expect all demographics to react to it in the same way. I mean, it was considered jarring and a massive twist to learn that the band camp girl actually had sexual agency that didn't consist of merely laying down for a below-average high school dope.
In the end, I still think the American Pie movies have an overall positive message about sex as a restorative and positive act and not something shameful.
I still think Can't Hardly Wait was the best of all these ensemble comedies. I'm certain, however, that it must be littered with tropes of its own that no longer appeal to the masses. For one, it's essentially a story of a stalker being rewarded.

Yeah going back and watching that feels fricked up, no way that flies today and that’s a good thing. And this is coming from someone who loves the franchise even most of the spin offs minus Book of Love and Girls’ Rules

"Generationalists" will differ slightly and clearly there are borderline/cusp situations. You're obviously in one of those zones (just as the early 60s kids). Almost everyone decided that the Baby Boom is defined by WWII (meaning born after it, and for convenience, most set it as beginning 1/1/46). But, kids born actually during the war - especially in the United States typically have more in common with Boomers than their Silent Generation cohorts.
So, if the "Boomers" are from the War through the JFK (and, again, this boundary is arbitrary - beginning of JFK? November 63? 1/1/64? etc.), then X has to be between JFK and Reagan. But when? Some set it right at 80. Others push it so that no Millenial gets out of high school prior to either 2000 or 9/11 (the latter being event driven) - I mean, the generation gets its name after the Millenium, right?
So, it is an inexact science at best and this is especially true in a cusp/borderline situation.

Meh, they are mostly correct. The golden age of teen flicks was the 1980s. Downhill since then.

Holy shite U.S. Marshall Tim Gutterson was in Eurotrip?!
Which one of these movies had "Scotty Doesn't Know"? That one was good.
I get how movies like American Pie and some of these don't land now. I'd probably hate them, too, if I saw them for the first time today.
One of my all-time favorite movies as a teen was Can't Hardly Wait. I tried to re-watch it with my wife who had never seen it and it was veeerrry difficult to get past how many times they say f*g in it. We were insufferable assholes in the early aughts.
Born in 85, for reference.

Gen X here. American Pie was funny. Dude, Where's My Car was the dumbest movie I've ever paid money to see. The tattoo scene was the only funny part of the whole movie. Is it considered a classic comedy by Millennials?
