| The Doom Generation | comment |
The Doom Generation is a 1995 film by Gregg Araki about Amy and Jordan, an angsty teen couple in Los Angeles, who are joined by a lovable rogue named Xavier. Their adventures lead them to commit a series of accidental manslaughters as several of the strange characters they meet mistake their identities and swear to kill them. Apparently a loose adaptation of Mark Beyer's black comedy comic strip "Amy and Jordan".The film notably had around ten minutes worth of content cut for home video releases against the wishes of Gregg Araki. The missing footage was finally reinstated in 2023. | |

Crapsack World: Images of Hell and the Apocalypse are on every corner, everywhere they go seems weirdly abandoned and dilapidated, and everyone they meet tries to kill them. | |

| The Doom Generation / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: They randomly meet people, many of whom try to kill them or claim they know them, then are never seen again. The most prolific example would be the store owner who gets his head blown off and lives. We never get much closure to that. | |

Asshole Victim: All the people they kill were trying to kill them first. The kids get attacked by Neo-Nazis and one of them dies in the end. Some viewers may see that as an example as well. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: When Jordan spits a very sexually explicit Your Mom insult at George, George's smugness immediately melts away and he goes berserk, wailing on Jordan while screaming, "Don't... you... ever talk about my mother like that!" He then changes his plans from making Jordan watch as he further sexually abuses Amy to making Amy watch as he kills Jordan. | |
