Wouldn't Heathers be Gen X though?

[meadowphoenix]

Its seems like mid-80s high school to me so late boomers, early gen x

[(Anonymous)]

Heathers was 88, and that would definitely be Gen X.

[meadowphoenix]

yeah that's when it came out, but as i said the time it's spoofing is mid-80s. that's when the screenwriter began writing it.

[(Anonymous)]

But the teens in the movie would have been Gen X at the time, and that’s who it was targeted at. I can vouch for this. The spoof nature of Heathers doesn’t mean it wasn’t still a teen movie that high schoolers at the time could get the satire of. It could be enjoyed by everyone though, of course.

But if you’re talking about the screenwriters...why? How is that relevant to the generation it was portraying? Screenwriters are always older than the teen and children’s movies they make, and that was especially true before indie films made by younger people became popular in the 90s.

I don’t mean to be rude or dismissive, I just don’t get what you’re trying to say. Gen X started at 1965.

[meadowphoenix]

I don't think you're being rude or dismissive. I'm talking about screenwriters because they don't actually always write contemporaneously. If a film is put out in 1985, then it was probably written in 1983 or earlier, unless there was an unusual amount of speed in productioon. My point about heathers is not that it's a spoof, it's that that specific upper high school aesthetic was not late 80s.
