GenX, forgotten again

AA5B,

I was going to say I don’t really recognize any of them, although they’re vaguely familiar …. yes, forgotten again

The only reason I knew it was M.A.S.H. was the font/color.

In this case, I don’t feel too bad being missed. Keep your head down and stay out of the news :)

That said, I watched Theorists with my tween. Kinda sad seeing MP go, but not as sad as MP was.

I expect the channels will go tits up without his personality. The new hosts are pleasant but honestly unremarkable. The show was far less about the content and more of his performance. If you thought the idea was crap, you subliminally blamed it on him. There are plenty of other personalities out there doing what they’re doing and almost all of them go on unknown because they don’t have screen chemistry.

gen x is overlooked way too often, a ton of millennial media were made by gen x

Wogi,

Ummm… Et phone home?

ieightpi,

And as usual Xers forgotten

S_H_K,

Caise we never cry we’re in a state of constant disappointing.

necromancyr,

I disagree. Transformers:The Movie

root_beer,

Older millennials too, I don’t give a shit about Blue’s Clues. Then again, I’m dead inside, just like an older millennial

Gen X was too busy not giving a fuck to cry about anything.

linearchaos,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I used to wash MASH with my parents because one house TV’s and primetime. It was ok. I watched the finale, It was ok.

I was a hell of a lot sadder when the dropped Hogans Heroes from syndication.

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, it’s off. M.A.S.H. would be Gen X. Old Yeller got both Boomers and Gen X; I’m not sure which TV show would have gotten only Boomers.

Thcdenton,

The yearling and dumbo fucked me up as a kid, but im a millennial

Thcdenton,

All I remember about that movie is how kickass Tim Curry was.

did they ever make a movie of Where the Red Fern Grows?

Isakk86,

In 2002 I was a 15 year old millennial… I wasn’t watching Blue’s Clues

WHY DID YOU REMIND ME 😢

FeelzGoodMan420,

Is everyone on Lemmy gen Z at this point? Who in the actual fuck is this dude?

AstridWipenaugh,

I think that’s Tom Zendaya from Skibidi Drip Rizz.

MotoAsh,

What? Weren’t older millenials in their 20’s when Blue’s Clue’s ended?

ericisshort,

I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.

Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.

Xtallll,
@Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.

ericisshort,

Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?

uid0gid0,

Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

HRDS_654,

Not like this.

Chev,

How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?

ericisshort,

He’s been a meme for over 20 years, and I’m a member of society.

Gen what? Don’t invoke the wrath.

lobut, (edited )

I’m an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be … Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasn’t a good bye or finale one though.

Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazier’s finales to be honest and the fact no one references them never made me catch up. The Simpsons seemingly won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality. I guess I can’t choose?

What would yours be?

ericisshort,

Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.

root_beer,

I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didn’t have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didn’t care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedian’s joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasn’t iconic either.

That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I can’t think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ‘90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.

smort,
@smort@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe the Cheers finale, in 1993

lobut,

Two main things I remember about that finale. Cliff ending the conversation on shoes because their topic was about shoewear. Lastly, Sam saying to the incoming patron: “we’re closed”.

I loved Cheers.

WorkIsSlow,

And they were devastated by it.

residentmarchant,

And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!

slurpeesoforion,

We stopped crying. Except at funerals and over properly cooked steak.

psud,

Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song “suicide is painless”

I woke up, read your comment and have the flippin’ song bouncing around in my head since.

XTornado,

Not from USA. Well the last one I guess you could know as is from YouTube, that said I didn’t know who the guy was or is either.

Honestly I haven’t seen any of that I know the rest because of reddit mentioning them in another moments. Again not from the US.

thorbot,

I wish I could claim I wasn’t from the US because its embarrassing to live here right now, but I am. Never watched a single episode of blues clues, it was popular when I was in high school.

Vespair,

I’m a millennial from the US and I’ve never seen even an episode of Blue’s Clues.

jimbolauski,

As a young gen Xer the only reason I know about blues clues was my nieces.

XTornado, (edited )

It’s from Nickelodeon it seems so I guess you need to have the channel first and then watch it and watch it when they did it…

I mean where I am from the private cable tv wasn’t as common so it was easier for people to see most of the stuff as all was free over the air tv, as long as you had a tv and antenna that’s it.

On America it seems like it would be easier I guess for people not see certain things if they didn’t have cable or their didn’t have certain channel or similar.

mcc,

Japanese?

thorbot,

わかりました、賢い人

wishthane,

Wow that is a terrible translation haha

Nikls94, (edited )

I‘m a millennial but too… old? Annoyed by it? to have watched blues clues other than by accident while playing Gameboy. According to Google it aired from 1996 to 2006 here, which means that I was ages 2 to 12. It was just too dumb for me. Matt Patt on the other hand, I watched it grow since its start in the golden era of YouTube, the. I stopped when the dark ages started at around 2017-ish. Now I‘m sad that I didn’t do anything good in my life until May of last year.

deksesuma,

Millennial is such a huge range anyway. In 1996 I was 12. There was no way I would have been watching Blue’s Clues.

root_beer,

Same, I was 15. Maybe it should be Atreyu crying out for Artax for Gen Xers and Xennials

pjwestin,
@pjwestin@lemmy.world avatar

You’re on the tail end of Millennial, and it definitely sounds like you were the target age for Blues Clues. I’m right in the middle of the Millennial years and I was 9 when that show came out, so I only know it as that thing my friend’s little brother watched. I have more feelings about MatPat leaving, even if I stopped watching years ago. Point is, I don’t think this meme is very accurate.

Emanuel,

To think this is how I found out about MatPat

InfiniWheel,

That’s kind of amazing considering his channel has been going on for like 13 years

MySkinIsFallingOff,

Is it only the game channel that closed, or all the theory channels?

I don’t understand why I’m asking tho, I really don’t give a shit. Some of the Film Theory’s were good for a lazy sunday background noise.

InfiniWheel,

All 4 of them. But they aren’t closing, they are just getting new hosts, MatPat is just leaving his network.

Emanuel,

I don’t know if I came across as saying that this is how I discovered MatPat, but that is not the case. I meant that this post is how I found out about his stepping away (kinda) from the Theorist channels. I’ve known him for almost the full 13 years that he’s been making videos, though I’ve kinda fallen out of love with his channel since FNAF.

hedgehogging_the_bed,

I found out yesterday from this post.

Sabin10,

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.

ook_the_librarian,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

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.

andthenthreemore,

As a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.

Blues Clues

ObviouslyNotBanana,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

See I still don’t know what that is but thanks for saying it anyway!

transientpunk,

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

I must be an immortal because I cried for all 3.

LifeInMultipleChoice, (edited )

Can you help fill me in on what those 3 are? And the person below wondered if gen x ever will be remembered, maybe you can throw in an extra for them?

At first I thought the lettering in the first one was from All In the Family, but that can’t be right.

Mash, Blue’s Clues and MatPat.

For GenX: Mr. Rogers, maybe? Or, I dunno… Max Headroom? 🤷🏻‍♂️

MalachaiConstant,

The first one looks like M.A.S.H. to me

xploit, (edited )

*American

Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.

cashews_best_nut,

Defo American. I don’t know any of them (Brit).
