I'm Gen X and I don't know about you, but I watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High (a few years after it came out, but still), all the John Hughes teen movies (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful), Just One of the Guys, Better Off Dead, Lucas, Can't Buy Me Love, Hiding Out, Summer School, For Keeps, License to Drive, Satisfaction, Heathers, Pump Up the Volume, plus others I'm sure I'm forgetting and some of those movies might have been made by Boomers, but they were intended for Gen X because the majority of Gen X were the teens during the '80s (yes, some Boomers would still have been teens during the early '80s, but not anywhere near the majority of them).

As I said above I actually think it's a cusp issue. And I think a lot of 80s teen movies are intentionally backward-looking (and I think this is actually particularly true of Heathers, Fast Times is straight up about the early 80s and Hiding Out's premise pretty much requires a backward-looking perspective).

but frankly, I think we're going to disagree that movies set during high school are necessarily targeted toward teens in high school. i mean fast times is a rated r movie. my boomer mom and aunts and all their friends watched all those movies too, because they were the ones with disposable income. my gen x cousins watched 0 of those movies, because they were born late 70s.
