The Clash were a 70s band and you’re missing The Cure
tbh this is more 80s kids than 90s
They may have started in the mid-late 70s, but London Calling was released Dec, 1979, and Combat Rock was ‘82. I think calling them an ‘80s band is fair.
At least The Clash remained an active band throughout the 80s. Joy Division is by all rights a 70s band. Ian Curtis died five months into 1980.
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.
Why do zoomers keep confusing the 90s with the 80s and 70s? We weren’t THAT primitive. We had internet and cell phones too. Modern clothing styles basically began in the late 90s. We had dropped the neon, spandex, and big hair by the early 90s. A dude wearing what that dude in blue is wearing woulda got his ass kicked in school.
The 90s were the transition point from the “old world” pre-internet to the modern era. By the 2000s, everyone I knew was online.
This is kind of like asking my mother how accurate a picture of the great depression is. It’s 20 years before her time.
Ian Curtis died in 1980 The Clash broke up in 1986 The Smiths broke up in 1987
… Not very accurate
90s? I was born in 1990, I don’t consider any of those bands of my era.
