Garden State was basically Ferris Beuller's Day Off done for millenials.

When you say "the high school trope" you're basically talking about "coming of age romances" which are not going to go away. I would argue that Boy's Town was as much a part of "the high school trope" as Breakfast Club and it was long enough ago that Mickey Rooney played a 15-year-old.

You want original plots? Go watch Brick. Report back for science.
