Generation Multiplex (2002) was the first comprehensive study of
the representation of teenagers in American cinema since David
Considine's Cinema of Adolescence in 1985. This updated and
expanded edition reaffirms the idea that films about youth
constitute a legitimate genre worthy of study on its own terms.
Identifying four distinct subgenres-school, delinquency, horror,
and romance-Timothy Shary explores hundreds of representative films
while offering in-depth discussion of movies that constitute key
moments in the genre, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, A
Nightmare on Elm Street, The Breakfast Club, Say Anything . . . ,
Boyz N the Hood, Scream, American Pie, Napoleon Dynamite, Superbad,
The Twilight Saga, and The Hunger Games. Analyzing developments in
teen films since 2002, Shary covers such topics as the increasing
availability of movies on demand, which has given teens greater
access to both popular and lesser-seen films; the recent dominance
of supernatural and fantasy films as a category within the genre;
and how the ongoing commodification of teen images in media affects
real-life issues such as school bullying, athletic development,
sexual identity, and teenage pregnancy.
