...I went there...
Just kidding. As a child of the 80's who was DEFINITELY a Metal Head, I definitely want to see this.

Well, the movie was produced by Tom Morello of RATM. He's 59 years old, so he came of age in the late 70's/early 80's. It's no coincidence that the movie features bands like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath - I've seen a lot of interviews with Morello about this influences (he's a HUGE Mob Rules fan, as am I). So even though it's not actually set in the 80's, the characters are absolutely 80's archetypes.
As for "kids today" I'm a live and let live, guy. That's why Hunter was so relatable to me - gatekeeping, for better or worse, is extremely prevalent in metal. People act like taste is objective for whatever reason. Just go seek out any social media conversation on the band Ghost and you'll see what I mean.
