I like the fact that this kind of family has been seen in a movie a million times: teenage kids, the family is a bit strained and they don’t have enough money, but in the background the guy used to be a Gene Simmons type.
Meaning of the quote
This quote describes a common type of family that has been shown in many movies. The family has teenage kids, and they are struggling a bit financially. However, in the background, the father used to be similar to the famous rock star Gene Simmons, who was known for his bold and flashy style. This contrast between the family's current humble situation and the father's past rock star-like persona is an interesting element that has been often depicted in films.
