It’s not a story driven movie, it’s a movie about a stylized subculture and youth. Compare it to Dazed & Confused instead of Chinatown.

The point is to make you want to hang out with those people on those days and it does that tremendously well.

If you disagree your a flake.

See, I can push back on that! Dazed & Confused barely has a plot. It knows what it's about. Hackers has one of those shake-and-bake 80s plots; it's like a Save The Cat movie. I get that people like the subculture stuff in it, but the movie was trying for something else and faceplanted.

Honestly I think Lawnmower Man might have had more cultural impact.
