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 :(
Actually this tracks lol I'm pretty into industrial bc my parents were huge Korn/KMFDM fans!
