The title of the film is derived from the [[Led Zeppelin]] song of the same name. Linklater approached surviving members of the band for permission to use their songs in the movie, but, while Jimmy Page agreed, Robert Plant refused.

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: All the adults except Carl's mom are cool with the seniors hazing the incoming freshmen. Tony comments on this.

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Head cheerleader Darla.

** He later tells her, "See you again tomorrow."

* [[Ephebophile]]: Wooderson, arguably the movie's most famous, or at least most memetic character. Provides the page quote:

* [[Erotic Dream]]: Tony tells Mike about a rather disturbing one.

'''Tony:''' But with the head of [[Abraham Lincoln]]. [[Squick|With the hat and the beard...everything]]. }}

* [[Everything Is Big in Texas]]: Averted. The film takes place in Austin, but the Texas stereotypes are all missing.

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Randall "[[Pink Floyd|Pink]]" Floyd.

* [[Random Events Plot]]: There really isn't a plot per se. Everyone just drives around after school ends until the party starts.

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Cast in-fighting required the ending to be re-written to prevent fistfights on-set.

* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''[[American Graffiti]]'' in [[The Seventies|THE SEVENTIES!]]
