    Hackers.
    It was the perfect encapsulation of a specific subculture for a specific 6 months or so. It felt dated less than a year after release.

    As time capsules go, Slacker (1990, ATX), Kids (1995, NYC), and Office Space (1999, ATX) really sum up the 1990’s.

    EDIT: “Goodbye, Lenin” as per my Gen-X Eastern European wife.

      I didn’t live through the 70s but my dad has told me multiple times that dazed and confused might as well be a documentary of that period.
