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)

  • 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.

      crapping on the Latest Thing Kids Are Doing is one of the early phases of transitioning into an out of touch adult.

      Does this mean zoomers are becoming out-of-touch-geezers at the seasoned age of ~21 years old?
      I remember being 21, back in the early 2010s, I was never even thinking about what younger kids were doing, nobody was.

        No surely not. I was there when the rizz lords first spoke, I understand the origins of the gyaat, and I’ve seen the skibidis upon their toilet. This fanum tax eludes me however

        I’m still gip with the kids

            I still like the flash animation “MY ANUS IS BLEEDING”, even though I absolutely know that if I first see it today, I’d be averse and annoyed at hearing the line.

            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
