Nothing against the soundtrack, it’s fine, but the unearned love my generation pays this utterly mediocre movie still boggles my mind. I will never understand how this film became a 90s cult touchstone. Everything about it feels generic. It’s a movie extensively about a record store written by people that who rarely went to record stores or even really enjoyed music. This is a weird situation where I don’t hate the move, it’s almost painfully MOR in every sense but I hate that this particular movie gets thought of along the same lines as Clerks or Dazed & Confused or Clueless as the quintessential 90s movie. It’s not even the best 90s movie set in a record store, High Fidelity is infinitely better.

Funny, I feel the same about Dazed & Confused.

Great soundtrack, still very very happy I got the French version way back when because the album art is better imo
