Twenty years ago the #1 movie in the country was a film by the name of Old School.
This movie romanticized hazing in a male setting as a coming of age experience.
Much of the hazing prevalent in this movie was sexual in nature.
The late 90s to early 2000s was the American Pie era. It helped shaped the concept of masculinity for the millennial male. Notice how you don’t see those types of “sex comedy’s” made anymore. Teen movies are often dramatic and depressing in todays cinema. It’s not surprising that this stuff finally came to a boiling point as we move further and further away from that era. I’d reckon that the vast majority of current Northwestern players have never seen Old School or American Pie.
