I feel like I'm coming around to agreeing with the Cracked guy that all these movies about some white kid trying something for the first time in their life and then winning the big competition six months later are bad for societyhttps://twitter.com/Karnythia/status/1283867065217097728 …

Pitch Perfect had the least sympathetic protagonist since Reality Bites.

Every generation gets at least one terrible movie about how fucking insufferable they are marketed to them. The '80s had St. Elmo's Fire. The '90s had Reality Bites. The 2000s had Garden State. Often it's a poor imitation of a legit good movie (see: Reality Bites vs Singles).

Lol although I don't think Pitch Perfect takes itself seriously enough to be in that category of "voice of a generation" films Ours is probably a prestige TV series - Girls, or Master of None

Sorry, that was an abrupt subject change. In that tweet I was just talking about Reality Bites, not Pitch Perfect.

My gripe with Pitch Perfect is that a bunch of white kids* screaming the choruses of pop songs written by people of color at each other is the bad kind of cultural appropriation. *Yes I know who Ester Dean is. Feels like her presence highlights my point rather than refuting it.

I do respect that the ending of the Pitch Perfect trilogy has the Bellas find out no one likes them anymore and they get totally owned by real musicians when they enter the real world
