crapping on the Latest Thing Kids Are Doing is one of the early phases of transitioning into an out of touch adult.
every new group thinks they're gonna be young and connected to youth culture forever. when they run into the first thing from younger people they don't get, they feel compelled to explain why "it sucks actually" rather than letting go of their youth status.
Always thought this was a goofy ass compulsion, just let the kids enjoy things?
They're right in that the things kids enjoy usually do suck, but wrong in thinking that doesn't apply to the stuff they liked when they were kids
Isn't that from the weird art-film about an animator whose life slowly crumbles around him as he fails to land new gigs? I think it's still pretty good. asdf movie however... I will not rewatch that
its a short by Don Hertzefeldt (hope i spelled it right), who also made the excellent animation 'it's such a beautiful day', which is one of my all time favorite movies. also made the animation 'world of tomorrow' which is probably some of the best speculative sci-fi i've seen.
minor bit of pedantry, despite the simplistic stick figure art style its distinctly NOT flash animation, he does everything analogue (paper and an old school photograph machine) which allows for some wild visual techniques and mixed-media stuff.
Don Hertzfeldt is awesome, he's gotten many offers to do actual commercials but turned every one of them down, which was his inspiration for Rejected
but then Pop Tarts did a whole ad campaign where they just blatantly ripped off his style
Yeah I remember the crumbling paper being very impressive. It was really cool.
Yeah that's a Don Hertzfeldt film. Dude makes incredible shit.
Morbid curiousity led me to google and gyatt daayuum i wish i hadnot
Try "My spoon is too big" if you want the animation and not bleeding anuses.
I honestly think kids got some better stuff these days than what I grew up on. Not across the board, but where was Phoebe Bridgers and her music when I was in middle school? She was probably a zygote and I suffered for that.
