MODERATORS
I still maintain that skibidi toilet is very obvious something came up by a zoomer and that it doesn't really resemble stuff that millennials liked back in the day. The fact that it has a plot and an overarching theme while being dystopian already distances itself from lol randumb XD humor.
I think what's happening is that the creator might be a zoomer, but the target audience is gen alpha. It's like how a lot of early Newgrounds stuff were created by gen x but consumed by millennials. The first by-millennials-for-millennials creations were ytp which were created by millennials who were exposed to older Newgrounds stuff.
It's extra cringe for a zoomer to shit on skibidi toilet because it's very much a product of zoomer meme culture.
That's part of why I like it over lolrandom and especially "lol gore is funny" millennial counterparts from the past. The way it develops and expands and escalates that struggle with the Camera Men is fascinating to me.
