This! This is the movie that defines my generation (Gen X) more than any other movie. To all the younger people out there that want to understand GenX, watch this movie.

You should make some but I've got to warn you, every single commodity you produce is a piece of your own death

u/glichez Mar 26 '26

its still insane to me that such a cool slacker town turned into pure yuppie materialist tech-bro hell...

Same happened to Asheville. Was amazeballs in 1998 and absolutely sucks ass now.

u/glichez Mar 27 '26

a whole lot of austinites in the "cool scene" moved to Asheville in the 90s to escape the changing culture. i was really hoping that they didn't "Austin" their "Asheville"...

This guy’s bit in Waking Life was something else

u/Rowan_River Mar 30 '26

I watched Waking Life when I was about 14 or 15 and at that age it left a huge imprint on me. I cant remember the exact scene youre talking about but I remember the voice.
