I dunno man between all these 'have you watched' 'have you read' 'do you know this character' type of poll accounts it really seems like people under a certain age bracket straight up barely consume a lot of media or bother to watch anything older than current seasonal fodder and it's kind of sad tbh

#i remember one of my cover teacher friends asked a class when they came back from their holidays #what movies and tv shows or anime theyd watched and just found out most of them werent watching #anything but streamers or the most general disney/marvel fodder #some watched anime but they were basically all just saying the same 2 shows mainly JJK #i dunno man i'm not judging them at all but it just feels really weird #i also realise its not like all genz and younger kids but there is like a weird like lack of media they consume or know of #even as a person not of those generations i still knew a lot of 80's and 70's bands+movies+media #and anyone getting into the anime space around my age didnt just start at seasonal but would go down a selection of classics first #and be aware of others #this isnt to say younger people are stupid or less knowledgeable so much as like there's this lack of interests #IN THEIRMEDIA OF INTEREST which is so.. weird like i wouldnt know what to call the phenomena #but its like some are replacing time for watching/reading/playing things with almost entirely social media and twitch streamers/youtubers #which again not necessarily bad but something definitely feels off about it
