How come when movies like Project X are released the older crowd from the 70's/80's call them trash and say "what happened to good quality movies"?

I mean last I checked in the 80's they had movies like 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, and how are they any different than Project X?

Is it just nostalgia?

Well some movies from today are crap because many consists of remakes and rehashes.

But most of it is also nostalgia. It's like people from the 90s who say the 90s were the best.

They do it with music too. Like, things haven't changed THAT much

Maybe because movies were better back then. Even I agree with them.

16 Candles and TBC are superior to Project X.

Project X looked like a **** movie so I agree with them.

Funny I was just having this conversation with my dad. He still thinks that 1967-1973 was the best era ever in music -- but he says that music recently has gotten good again after reaching an ultimate low 10 years ago.

I pretty much agree. Early/mid 2000s was the darkest time in music. The past three years, the music landscape seems to have opened and allowed in more interesting artists and sounds. But I can't imagine any era topping the creativity of the late '60s/early '70s.

Nostalgia.

It's nothing new, happens with literally every generation. In 30+ years we'll probably hate most of the new music/movies younger folk like and wish it were like the good 'ol days again.

I hope I don't become like this Becoming too nostalgic is what often keeps us from moving forward

Pretty much.

Cause, 90's cartoons >>> present day cartoons.

And the kids who watch todays cartoons will say the same when they are our age. Nostalgia is the main answer.

Not all music from the 2000s is bad though, you just gotta dig beyond Top 40 to get to the good stuff.

Nostalgia plays some factor but definitely not the biggest. I'm in my mid 20s, and I highly question the taste of the upcoming generation. Music, movies, books are all getting diluted and spoon fed for the simple minded.

I think you have to know history to decide what's today good or not.

For me the John Hughes films of the 80's are way better than today films for the youth but if I look at the TV series in the 80's that's crap in opposite of today.

The 60s and 70s were the most audacious and provocative eras of film (excluding precode).

I mean Midnight Cowboy won Best Picture.

But the 90s was the best. Shows cartoons maybe the early 2000s was good too but after that...

Are they lying tho?

Y'all have THE worst taste, omg.

What a slap in John Hughes his corpse (RIP) face!
