I'm to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I'm also used to society ignoring my generation so that's fine.
As a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.
Blues Clues
See I still don't know what that is but thanks for saying it anyway!
It was a kids TV show. I'm a millennial, and I saw it in the mornings occasionally, but never had any connection to it, so I'm with y'all
We had El Chavo del 8 growing up.
As someone who didn't grow up on it but heard about it while learning Spanish
What a strange show lmao
Absolute masterpiece.
In a younger millennial and was still too old for the second one…
So...what, when Toonami ended for the first time?
Shit, now you've done it. Sorry, just got something in my eye 😭
This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blue's Clues. Blue's Clues is Gen Z fodder.
Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue's clues. I had so much blue's clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn't) but that may be a case by case thing.
That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it's basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I'm still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.
Millennials are 1981 to 1996; you're a very late millennial so it makes sense your experiences are more similar to Gen Z. I doubt many people only a couple years older than you watched Blue's Clues.
Yeah I'm like older gen z and was huge into blues clues. Tons of people my age hate being identified with gen z tho because we grew up with DS lites not iPads lol.
No shame in being gen z. The political activism of that gen is truly impressive. They're doing the best they can with what they've been given, and I think they're doing great. I'm really proud of them as a generation :) I can't wait to see Gen Alpha come into their own, too.
Same
It was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.
The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.
