The critical standing of Fight Club today is interesting because people seem to be coming back around to it now mostly as we are back to the same Gen X nihilistic mindset now rather than the millennial tech optimist years in-between now and 1999.

Films like this to be enjoyed or appreciated to their fullest require you to at least understand, if not have lived through what led to their creation. It is a dual-edged sword that people are enjoying a great piece of cinema, but doing so because everything it warned of is back.

I think that's astute, I saw it around the same time I had read no logo and had really gotten into Bill Hicks and always saw it as an anti capitalist satire, a decade later hearing people call it crypto fascist made me go "huh"

Hicks, certainly someone who probably wouldn't fly these days.
