Synopsis:

Billed as 'a heterosexual movie by Gregg Araki,' The Doom Generation is the the director's self-styled bad taste teen film. Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) is an obnoxious teenage speed freak and her boyfriend Jordan White (James Duval) is a passive, slow-witted poseur who won't have sex with her because he's terrified of AIDS (even though they both claim to be virgins). One day, they run across Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech), a charming but enigmatic drifter who has a bad habit of killing people. Joining the young couple on a seemingly endless road trip, Xavier (or 'X,'as the verbally challenged Jordan insists on calling him), proves a threatening and repulsive yet strangely alluring companion whose very presence raises issues of loyalty and sexual identity. The Doom Generation is dotted with a variety of eccentric cameo appearances, including comic Margaret Cho, actress Parker Posey, musician Perry Farrell, 'Hollywood Madame' Heidi Fleiss, and onetime Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight.

The pre-curser to the cult classic Nowhere, The Doom Generation goes far beyond sex and who's screwing who. When Jordan (James Duvall) and he babe Amy (Rose McGowan) hook up with trouble-man Xavier (heart throb Jonathan Schaech) carnage ensures. The teen trio falls into a three-way love triangle.

Jordan White and Amy Blue, two troubled teens, pick up an adolescent drifter, Xavier Red. Together, the threesome embark on a sex and violence-filled journey through an America of psychos and quickiemarts.
