‘Dazed and Confused’ was an edgy coming-of-age movie that made everyone who watched it want to throw caution to the wind, crank up some Aerosmith and party the night away.

Sure, you know what Matthew McConaughey has been up to, but what about the rest? Here’s what the cast has been gettin’ into, man, since they definitely didn’t stay the same age.

Were the writers aiming to be so frivolous or did they actually think the words would be accepted genuinely?
