Gen Xers in 1982 weren't old enough to see the raunchy movie.

The featured characters were mainly HS Seniors, meaning they had to have been born before 1965. Ergo, late boomers.

That's not when the movie was released. The hole is deep enough, put down the shovel.

I think it's definitely a Gen X movie because it was classic 80s, and I don't know who associates the 80s with Boomers.

But I kind of see bb's point in that it's kind of early Gen X. I'm a pretty early Gen Xer and it came out before I was even in high school.

Story focus:
The movie centers around the high school experiences of teenagers, capturing their struggles with sex, drugs, and navigating social dynamics, which is more representative of Gen X than Baby Boomers.
Cultural impact:
