Depressing films disguised as comedy I'll start

It's a coming of age film you pleb.

No it's not, it's actual a retrospective look on teen years. The complete opposite of coming of age

Actual retards
I'll start

Actually, I hate that it's known as a "stoner flick". It's more than that.

I get what you're saying, and I agree, but I think the phrase you were looking for is it's a "critical look at the American youth obsessed with hedonism in the 70s."

No coming of age films tend to be nostalgic but not critical. Dazed and confused is not only critical of the behaviour of teens in the 70s but also of the idea of "coming of age" in of its self. The film forces the viewer to realise that the nostalgia one feels for the "best years of their life" is false and simply a coping mechanism. In reality your childhood and teen years were mundane and rather pointless. There's a reason why the film was released in the 90s not the 70s anon. The target audience were the mid 40s who would watch this expecting the nostalgia of coming of age films only to be soul crushingly depressed once the facade had been lifted

People who graduated high school in 1976 are now 59 years old

I get what you're saying. I guess the makers behind Dazed and Confused wanted to address the college years for the generation that grew up in the 80's with Everybody Wants Some.
