A vast multitude of movies have been made in an attempt to realistically recreate many generations on screen. Almost every generation has had a movie made to express the thoughts of the people within it. After searching several movies, I watched two in order to see which best represents our generation, Mean Girls and Dazed and Confused. After watching the movies, I found that Mean Girls more accurately portrays our generation than Dazed and Confused does. Both movies include many topics that can relate to our generation.
Keywords: popularity, our generation, Matthew McConaughey, Lindsay Lohan

- The main topic in the movie Mean Girls is popularity.
- Along with having the attention of everyone in school, being popular gives the Plastics the ultimate power.
- Mean Girls is an accurate representation of our generation.
- The focus on popularity in Dazed and Confused is not of the same caliber as Mean Girls.
- Another topic that is focused on in Mean Girls is peer pressure.
- In Dazed and Confused peer pressure plays a much smaller role on the characters.
- Even some of the characters in Mean Girls are affected by popular culture without even knowing it.
