@sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild The third movie, Fight Club, the protagonist was already insane. Which, again, was the point of the movie. We found out at the end of the movie that the way to live your Best Life in Insaneworld is to be insane.

Whoever put this together could have just gone with the Al Bundy riff: a mall shoe salesman owns a single-family-home and supports his wife and two kids on one income. That was 10 years prior and genx was already envious of Al.

Personally, I think this meme was made to troll us. Three "randomly chosen genx movies", each of which was an unforgettable recognition of the collapse of Western Civilization, yet each offered as an example of how much better things were in the 90's?

Office Space: Niggermusic and Indian IT.
Falling Down: Mexicans. Everywhere.
Fight Club: Crowded, Filthy, Sexless.

Despair And Be Free

Those movies appealed to people raised to see the world through the eyes of a philosopher, and what they saw was horrifying. They gave a glimpse of our today-future. They were accurate.
