    This is an 80s kids movie. And 80s kids bands. Or more specifically, 80s teens stuff.

    I was born in the 80s, and I think I watched this movie once but it was definitely less a part of my cultural upbringing than OG power rangers and Ace of Base, lol.

      Came to say this. Breakfast Club released in 1985.

      I am a 53 year old gen X born in the 60’s. This film is of my generation’s culture, not someone born in the 90’s.

        90s kids generally refers to people who came of age in the 90s. Nevertheless, this is all 80s, although Joy Division just barely counts as an 80s band

      Yeah. I was born in the 80s and only knowingly watched this like 5 years ago. If I saw it when it was relevant, I was too young to remember.

      like everyone else I came to say this is from the 80’s. I see a lot of this though. Bleed from one decade to another and in tv shows depicting the decades so of course folks not around think its accurate.
