It really has nothing to do with Dazed and Confused except that it is set in 1980 to D&C's mid 70s feel. Our hero arrives at Southeast Texas State to play baseball and in the first 3 days is introduced to beer, weed, women and brotherhood in that time. When the 3 days is up and school starts, he promptly falls asleep. So much for a college movie.
While the director Richard Linklater tries to spotlight a few interesting aspects e.g. the types of music coming together, the competitiveness of the players, he ruins it by having the characters notice - "Can you believe that we went to 4 different types of parties?" Nothing left to the imagination here.

I recommend you watch the original instead, the To Kill a Mockingbird to this Go Set A Watchman
