    Is the “teen summer movie about getting laid” genre still a thing?

      As long as there are summers and teenagers, I would think so

          Sadly?

          I mean … that genre was single-handedly what taught generations of boys that getting girls drunk was how you got laid. Or at the very least it was socially acceptable.

          They were problematic as hell and while funny they really sent some bad fucking messages.

          That genre was popular in the late 90s/early 00s, wasn’t it? If we’re talking about the American Pie/Eurotrip/etc. era… There was plenty of easy to access porn back then. Much easier than today, in many ways. The web was the lawless Wild West. You didn’t have to dig very far to find pretty much anything, for better or for worse.

            I think you’re giving that era of the internet too much credit. People still had dial up in the late 90s and early 00s and tube sites weren’t really a thing yet. Clip indices were just taking off but it was like 30 second long videos.

              We had hardcore jpeg compression for pics, download software with an antivirus, and a lot of imagination to go along with those 30s clips

            Looking up porn then was a mixed bag. Most the time it was a virus and when it wasn’t the image would load halfway and quit. When you finally got something real to load you printed that shit as fast as you could.

              Dunno, Google was a thing by then, you could jerk off to nudes pretty easy. Video was more difficult, maybe, yeah.
