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'm not sure it was completely unintentional, which I'm not sure makes it better or worse

Like the joke at their expense gets a lot more pronounced by Pitch Perfect 2, with the whole uncomfortable idea that the most powerful a cappella group in the world is some kind of vaguely hinted at neo-Nazi cult

That whole scene in the second movie is just egregious, yeah. That's when it really hit me that the Pitch Perfect series is basically doing a little light colonialism.

Well Pitch Perfect 2 is about leaving reality behind entirely, which is when I think they felt freer to just brutally mock the whiteness of this scene Having one of the teams at the Riff-Off be the Green Bay Packers
