Its name derives from the Beach Boys' song "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times", released on Pet Sounds (1966). According to Was, he created the documentary to enlighten "non-musicians" of the significance of Wilson's work and to explain why the phrase "Brian Wilson is a genius" had become "holy gospel" among musicians.[1]

For the 2014 biopic Love and Mercy, director Bill Pohlad cast John Cusack as Wilson based on the real Wilson's mannerisms and appearance in I Just Wasn't Made for These Times. Cusack later recommended the documentary as a "companion piece" to the biopic.[2]
