I think that the title will turn out to be just 'a random cutesy phrase.'
Titles of film are often one of the very last things to be confirmed before production (sometimes they are not even decided upon until weeks after production!). Scripts and plots etc have to be decided upon first before films even get the clearance and fundings they need to be made. If the title does refer to the album Daydream Nation, then we would already have heard about this new movie featuring Sonic Youth heavily, especially in the soundtrack perhaps.
True, you probably wouldn't call a film Daydream Nation if it didn't have any reference to the 'Yoof, unless you were a fan of the band enough to use the phrase as a 'work in progress' title.
Have you ever thought that maybe, as this film appears to be something of an indie-flick a la Juno (which, let's face it got a lot of coverage from us because of the Sonic Youth reference), it is aimed at 'us' as a 'target audience' and therefore the title is being used to draw people like us into the cinemas? And to generate discussion about the film AS IS HAPPENING HERE!!?!
Also, as far as I am aware, Sonic Youth using the phrase 'Daydream Nation' for their album title wasn't even the first instance of the phrase itself (although it certainly wasn't a random cutesy phrase in that case). So the film's title may not even be referring to the album!!
So much to consider.
I don't have a problem with this film being made or anything... it sounds like a cool idea!
RANT OVER!
*phew*
