I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago

The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)

    I am a zoomer who teaches alpha, and except for Bluey and Miraculous Ladybug, all of their touchstone media is stuff that was big before my time. They all up in Mario and Sonic and Frozen and that. When I was a kid, we had like iCarly and Codename Kids Nextdoor and Avatar. Now its like there’s nothing unifying for the kids to watch. Kinda sad.

      This is sounding eerily similar to the Boomer-millennial-(and apparently possibly alpha) complex vs. the genX-zoomer complex

      where each complex has vaguely similar behaviors/traits due to most of them being raised by the previous generation

      It’s also very interesting that I (millennial) generally dislike zoomer stuff but skibidi seems pretty enjoyable to me (small sample size still but we’ll see)

        Except its pretty sad because a lot of my students’ parents are around my age, some are literally my age and maybe a quarter are only 2-4 years older. I can’t imagine being ready for a baby in 2-4 years let alone having had one 2-4 years ago :(
