Inspired by the Gen X sub culture thread I thought I’d make one just for millennials to show the evolution of fashion, technology and attitudes through their cohorts/Coming of age portrayed by these movies. Some of these movies were also enjoyed by Gen Z kids but the teens in these movies and tv shows were straight up Millennial to me or always had a teen element in its subplots lol
Early Millennial(Xennial): teens of the Late 90s/Early 2000s,

2012- Project X, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Chronicle, Spring Breakers, Hunger Games, 21 Jump Street
2013- The Bling Ring, Beautiful Creatures, The Host, Liv and Maddie,
Just my list on the subcultures of the Millennial Generation through the decades from the Late 90s to Early 2010s. Not Necessarily by class but by people who were in high at the time during these years since theres overlaps with the tail end of early side of every generation. Late 90s being Xennial Territory and Early 2010s being Zillennial Territoy but pretty much on the Y/Millennial side but shared equally with Late Xers or Early Zers as some shows extended into the mid 2010s or Millennials were probably younger teen in the late 90s where as Gen X we're getting close to graduating(like 1980-1981 borns). Hope you guys agree with my list
