In the real world, teenage hackers weren't going out to hacker bars and watching Razer and Blade, but they were often young teens with a contempt for authority who gave themselves cool names. " Hackers came out when the internet had barely begun to enter homes, and if you were the right age, at the right time, with the right interests, it may have spoken to you in a way you never forgot," Jenn said.Īs a movie, Hackers didn't try to represent a literal truth of what hacking is like, but more of an emotional truth.
#NYC HACKER BAR MOVIE#
Erik, who Jenn described as the "true mastermind" of Hackers Curator over email, first saw the movie at the same time as he began to be interested in techno and EDM-in case you weren't aware, the Hackers soundtrack is truly banger after banger, featuring artists like Underworld, Massive Attack and The Prodigy.įor Jenn, she said that her mind was, "short-circuited by this punkish tribe of teen hackers, their outrageous outfits, and by Angelina Jolie’s short hair." She'd picked up the movie on VHS at her tiny local video rental shop, only realized how forward thinking it was later in life.
The intersection of their careers and their interest in this movie make complete sense once you realize how ahead of its time it was, especially in the realm of fashion and music. Like characters Acid Burn or Zero Cool, they also go by their monikers Nandemoguy and Teenprez on the site itself. Hackers Curator is a project from Erik, a VP of development at a healthcare company in Colorado and Jenn, who is a sneaker designer in the fashion industry in New York.
