What We Think

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is hardly woke by modern Hollywood standards. It’s mostly concerned with music, romance, and youthful adventure, with minimal evidence of ideological preaching or narrative compromise for political purposes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on classic young adult romance and coming-of-age themes, with characters driven by personality and interest rather than identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or implausibly flawless characters tied to modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it reflects a modern, secular urban setting, it doesn’t overtly undermine family, tradition, or masculinity. Traditional values aren’t central, but there’s little attempt to subvert or mock them either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film showcases a fairly typical 2000s indie worldview but doesn’t push a strong ideological echo chamber. There are no cartoonish villains representing traditional values and no intense political messaging.
