The ’90s were a time for very genre-specific films that remain beloved to this day. But there are also films from that decade that went obscure at the time and have since gone on to become cult hits. Empire Records is one such movie, whose storyline could even be relevant today. However, the movie’s greatest accomplishment was spawning a popular social media trend of celebrating April 8 as Rex Manning Day, from the obscure film, as covered by The AV Club.

Empire Records was all about a group of record store employees trying to save their store from a corporate buyout. The story of the film featured a day in the life of its employees, who ranged from a variety of ’90s teenage tropes, by attempting various ways to raise the profile of their store or earn enough money to prevent its closing. The film’s story acts as a metaphor for its characters to learn the realities of life, growing up, and to dealing with moving on, under the setting of losing the record store.
