Also as iconic as Hackers was, it does feel like if someone says the movie was an inspiration, you can tell they're over the age of 35, or they're a script kiddie. Maybe both, though not necessarily both.

I will admit... my brain does mentally associate the movie Hackers with "I run Kali Linux therefore I am Neo" types and also script kiddies. Not exclusively but "there's a lot of overlap." Like people who treated the film as if it was scripture, but instead of being curious kids they just boot someone who pissed them off in an MMO with a script.

Real hacking is reading an RFC and being confused, sitting at a screen at 3am reading a hex dump like "what the fuck WHY did that bit flip", figuring out how you fucked up the permissions this time or what permissions you forgot to set, and "oh God why is this container crashing at 2am every day." Not the vibe from the movie. I wish it was the vibe from the movie. If Hackers had real hackers it'd be a very boring movie no one would wanna watch. I wish our UIs were that cool.
