Another thing you may not hear kids say nowadays was the reason Brian gave for his fake ID - so he can vote. I don't think many kids were trying to vote in 1985, either, unless your poiunt is that in certain places they'll let anyone vote without checking ID.

To me, the essence of the film is summed up in the note at the end:

Dear Mr. Vernon

We accept the fact that we had to spend a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think it's stupid for you to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms with the most convienient definitions. But what we found out is that each of us is a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Sincerely Yours, The Breakfast Club

I agree, the note at the end definitely summed things up nicely.
