These are both movies about unmotivated whiny white people, no way are they the answer
Why not
You know why
I don't! Characters stuck in ennui and ambivalence amidst the economic prosperity and cultural disillusionment of the Clinton era, a rejection of traditional societal expectations of success... feels very 90s

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is less about representation granted in hindsight than it is that the very idea of representation had already been commodified and sold back to the masses by the corporations in the 90s. We had Living Single and Fresh Prince of Bel Air; Ellen and Roseanne both had lesbian-themed episodes; the Selena story had broken through to white audiences, and Benny the Jet Rodriguez pickled the Beast. This was all very mainstream stuff.
Clerks had hermaphrodite porn

I don't think that kind of tokenism is unique to the 90s, or that it started in the 90s, so I'm going to disqualify it as traggish nonsense.

I can't think of anything more mainstream pop-culture 90's than acting like all issues surrounding representation, inclusivity and diversity had been completely solved by the 90's.

The Crow is a pretty 90's movie. Did anyone mention that one yet?
