The best part of this movie was how accurate it was. For us who lived back then, you knew someone who was exactly like every single character in the movie. Plus it captured the mood and atmosphere of the time so well. We had jamming music, hot muscle cars, and horrible styles. But it was so much better than today.

[@robertspeight6460]

Exactly! Even in very small towns we can identify will all those characters. We partied at the Firetower instead of the Moontower tho......

[@negativeindustrial]

I was born in Texas in 1975. I can remember my parent’s friends being just like these characters. The Wooderson character in my family/friends was my uncle. He was nearly the same guy hanging out with the younger guys (my dad’s friends) looking to score with the younger girls and drove a TransAm Firebird just like Burt Reynold’s with the huge bird on the hood. I remember thinking he was the coolest guy around but it turns out he was just a massive loser.

[@negativeindustrial]

@Larry Snyder The early 90s was the same way. I can’t wait until someone makes our “Dazed And Confused”. They’ll probably have to call it “Whatever” or “Nevermind”. Whatever they call it, it’s going to have one hell of a soundtrack. I feel a bit sorry for GenY/Z, though. Their soundtrack is going to be sad AF and the movie is just going to be a bunch of awkward kids sitting around staring into their phones afraid of social situations.

It was a bowling alley, pool hall, bar, and arcade all rolled into one. Unfortunately it's a Target now. I feel sorry for teenagers today because they've got nowhere to go.

Me and some friends fixed it up in auto tech class back in the day and cruzed the strip in town every weekend.... Man, I wish I had the money we spent at Etna on regular unleaded alone! Truck is still medium metallic blue with the Western Auto "mangles" chrome wagon wheels on it too but no stainless trim now except for the wheel well arches.

[@flpanhead]

Same here. Class of '93. Thank God we didn't get the hazing, but pretty much everything else was the same. Lots of tie dye t-shirts and I still had my '68 Nova. Kids blasting Zepplin in the parking lot and parties out in a field on weekends.

[@SeanEnginetechnology]

Class of '90 here, and I wouldn't trade the music and everything about my time growing up -- the music boom out of the Seattle/Washington area is some of the best music of all time - the tragedy of losing Soo damn many amazingly talented musicians is a tough pill to swallow, still, but we keep on keeping on.. God bless, and I can't wait for the uncut movie to finally get put out for us🎉

[@p__kingg]

Absolutely...I also feel like us GEN X kids who were in high school in the 90s..have alot more parallels to the 70s more than any other decade because we were the decade birthed from a radical cultural shift change that occurred in the 80s... The same way the kids from 70s did from the 60s. We weren't the first wave of a generational change but we were the aftermath of it so we kinda took what happened the decade before us and upped the ante a bit... And learned from the mistakes those from the previous decade made. Just like in the 60s.. they were spawned from the ultra CLEAN AND Conservative family oriented climate of the 50s... Where drugs music and POP CULTURE started to influence the world with TELEVISION starting to be in every house hold.. and that global awareness had the youth kinda in revolt...so came the drugs..that influenced the music and movies then the 70s took that and perfected it Then the 80s industrialized ALL OF THAT... Then the war on drugs started ..with crack being born that totally CHANGED THE WORLD. And we took all of that and perfected it... Idk just my 0.02

Agreed completely. The 90s to me always felt like a retro 70s. Im miss those days

[@texaspatriot4215]

I was class of 1977 and from Texas to boot, so when this movie came out in 93 it was a must see for me., I can't tell you how many times since then I have watched it, I purchased the Criterion special edition DVD boxed set when it was released, I also bought a wall poster for my office. Still love this movie as much today as I did in 1993

[@youtubejunkie8053]

Saw this movie when it first came out my freshman year of high school, changed everything

[@Smi564]

I remember having great times in high school. Wish I could go back. Love this movie.

[@charlesbyrd1957]

I was born in 1957 and graduated high school in 1975. I think Dazed is 1976 graduation so that’s damn close. They really nailed the era especially for an ostensibly southern high school. It helps a few were native southerners. I’d been living in South America and had heard about this movie coming out and ran and rented it soon as I came back in 1995. I was not disappointed. It’s a classic. Oddly enough even though it’s only one year difference, 1972-75 high school was a bit more hippie than the mid to late 70s which was more stadium rock. Lord though the baggie pants, puca shell necklaces, and clog heel shoes...man...and always smoking weed. Fire Towers and keg parties another commonality. Man the girls were so pretty then and skinnier. Jocks preppies and freaks. It’s hard to explain today. One weird factoid. All my kids still listen to my music from a bit to a lot depending on which of the five. The longevity of 1960s till 1990s electric guitar based rock and rock and roll is amazing isn’t it. We were last year to register for the draft. It was admittedly an easy time for us. Too easy it can sure be argued. One caveat. Pot in moderation. Don’t be a couch tater. Grab life and live it and try to see all you can. Don’t just read about it. And of all those folks who seem so important in high school you’ll be lucky if you’re still talking to a half dozen of them at 50. Be fair and stand up for yourself and screw being popular. Be original and think for yourself

It was actually the last day of school in 1976. The ones calling themselves seniors are actually juniors finishing 11th grade.

This is the only movie that takes places in a high school that I love. It’s real and raw and genuinely relatable regardless of the era. It’s about being with friends, no heavy drama, and living in the moment while having fun around company. I enjoyed watching this movie for the first time while having a cold beer. It was definitely an experience.

Plan for White Genocide that “anti-racists” implement 1. Flood White Countries & ONLY White countries with non-whites. 2. Force integrate these same immigrants in White Communities. This is all done with the aid of Federal Laws. 3. Push interracial relationships night and day in allthe media and newspaper advertisements; in White Countries and only White Countries. 4. Anyone that objects is called a racist. They inform us of our inevitable brown future. Anti-racist is code word for anti-white.
