And since I’ve been reminded: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is not a good movie.
I’m curious: what are some other '80s “classics” you dislike?
I’m not him, but for me, it’s Caddyshack. That was my dad’s favorite movie as a teenager, and he always talked about how he wanted to show it to me when I was old enough. But we ended up watching it, and it was just so bland. I barely even remember a single thing about it, I just remember that literally none of the jokes landed at all. Even my dad was wondering why the hell he ever liked that movie.
I do disagree with you on 80s music sucking though, although I guess it’s mainly because I have a much higher level of cheese tolerance than most people. Those songs where a guy with absurd hair screams about believing in yourself while another guy with absurd hair shreds on a guitar are ridiculous, but damn they’re fun. It’s basically the shonen anime spirit transferred into musical form.
