1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The film generously uses a boatload of '70s rock from the likes of Music/AliceCooper, Music/BlackSabbath, Foghat, Music/TedNugent, Music/{{Kiss}}, Music/LynyrdSkynyrd, Music/{{Aerosmith}}...the list goes on and on.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Wooderson is easily the most popular character from the film due to Creator/MatthewMcConaughey's iconic performance and his famous lines, despite his only appearing in a handful of scenes.
3* MemeticMutation:
4** [[MemeticMolester "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."]]
5** "Alright! Alright! Alright!" has gotten some traction in recent years and especially after Creator/MatthewMcConaughey's CareerResurrection, which saw him dropping the catchphrase in his award acceptance speeches. He's also [[http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/matthew-mcconaughey-catchphrase-tshirt put it on t-shirts]] in his clothing line.
6** "Be a lot cooler if you did."
7* MisaimedFandom: Creator/RichardLinklater didn't intentionally make it a stoner movie. But, considering ''every'' teenaged protagonist, including those that are definitely underage, smokes pot and/or drinks beer, the mistake is understandable.
8* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Wooderson is seen by pretty much everyone he isn't friends with as a loser in a permanent state of arrested development. But he's usually highlighted by many fans as easily the best part of the film due to [=McConaughey's=] performance and getting some of the most memorable lines.
