    Are you absolutely certain that it isn’t a psyop meant to make millennials feel extremely old and mystified about wtf is going on with Gen Z?

    Because after watching the first 40 of those (I tried to watch them all but I just couldn’t), I feel older and more alienated from younger generations than I ever have before 😄

      I watched it all because my 11 year old was going on about it. Turns out I watched more than she had. So, I dunno.

        Well done! As a parent, you probably have a higher pain and confusion threshold than I do tbh 😄

        BTW, which was your favorite character? Mine was the speakers-headed monster because it was the only one that played music I could relate to 😄

        (the 1985 banger Everybody Wants To Rule The World)

          Oh, it’s been quite a minute since I watched so I don’t remember much about the characters, and since, well, I had to do a hard reset on my brain after watching it.

          I try to involve myself in what she’s into. We have a really tight bond because of this.

          We’re both super into Hazbin Hotel. I know she’s technically young for it, but I took the time to make sure she understands the concepts in the show and what it all means.

        Oh, for sure! I didn’t mean to yuck on their yum, just express my own experience and hyperbolic pseudo-hypothesis 😁

        2 days later I came across your comment, clicked the link.

        Wow, I haven’t heard Yatta in like a decade. Monday morning nostalgia attack, thanks for this.

      Listen, as someone who watched a ton of SFM and gmod videos, this is the exact same type of humor I (a millennial) enjoyed like 10 years back.
