Brat Pack (actors): Difference between revisions

[[The Other Wiki]] also states:

{{quote| "The Brat Pack is a nickname given to a group of young actors and actresses who frequently appeared together in teen-oriented coming-of-age films in the 1980s.}}

{{quote| The term, a play on the Rat Pack from the 1950s and 1960s, was first popularized in a 1985 New York magazine cover story, which described a group of roughly interchangeable, but already highly successful and rich teen stars. The group has been characterized by the excessive partying of core members such as [[Rob Lowe]], [[Robert Downey, Jr.]]., [[Judd Nelson]] and [[Emilio Estevez]], while their films have been described as representative of "the socially apathetic, cynical, money-possessed and ideologically barren eighties generation." The movies made frequent use of adolescent archetypes, were often set in the suburbs surrounding Chicago, and focused on white, middle-class teenage angst.}}

{{quote| The "Brat Pack" moniker, often considered in a pejorative sense, was not known to be used by members of the group."}}
