I think the appeal of Lain as a character is actually rather simple.
She's one of the few real textbook schizoid characters placed into a very unique narrative that deals with those issues in a creative way. (Note: Lain is very distinctly schizoid NOT autistic I think people very often get confused by this) I'm sure all schizoids can strongly relate to Lain. In real life she appears as a background character. Her presence in the world seems almost unnatural like she can barely function there at all. She just passes through as stoic, unreadable, avoidant, a total mystery seemingly incapable of forming any connection with the external world.
But in the wired (AKA the internet, which can also be read as a metaphor for simply the internal world and this is the major theme of Lain how the internet became a sort of extension or surrogate for the internal world and it all blends together into one thing) she is unleashed and feels as though her true "self" can come out and be whatever she wishes. There she is a "god" that encompasses all human experience.
At the heart of Lain is this intense schizoid struggle between internal and external. That is why her goal is breaking down the barrier between the wired and the real world i.e. breaking down the barrier between internal and external identity.

Lain actually shares a lot of DNA with many other things from its era like Eva and All About Lily Chou Chou. You can clearly see the kind of feelings that dominated this time and how they came about.
Anyway I think Lain is really not that popular with zoomers from what I can tell despite their tendency to want to co-opt millennial things often, yes, without really understanding them (not that, in this case, people at the time understood it well either). It is a distinctly millennial show that is very emblematic of the time period it was made but also deals with a very specific mental condition.

I think your interpretation of it firstly as a show that deals with a mental condition, and not as an allegorical piece of the internet and how it's adoption effects both society and the individual, is a very narrow way of looking at it that misses the greater point of the show to instead fit into your own desire to have a show for schizoids, such as yourself likely.

this is babbies first 2deep4u anime. it's shit. the animation is shit. story is shit. big part of why people are so obsessed with it is because they were 14 when they saw it and want to have lain as their stinky half retarded internet addict girlfriend.

>I think the appeal of Lain as a character is actually rather simple.
she's manic pixie dream girl but attainable. she's nerd sexy. Nerds don't even fantasize about getting with the prom queen but they'll fantasize about getting with the awkward unpopular girl with a bad haircut, not realizing the captain of the football team already blew her pussy out as practice. they're so fuckin nerdy that even their fantasies have to be realistic. the rest of your post is just overthinking it, kind of like how evangelion fans will write a dissertation on how genius the story is but it's all head canon because the creator is on record saying "we ran out of money and had to rush an ending, we put all the shit in there because we thought it looked cool". This is another style over substance anime, it's got cool designs and a good soundtrack so everyone tries to do the writers job for them rather than admit they just like it because it looked and sounded good, which is really all an anime or film has to do to be successful. If the visuals and sound are good enough people will write entire novels trying to fill in the blanks of a story that was never written or intended to be deep.
>>84571923
it's a story about a nerdy bitch who merges with the internet, it's a knock off of the ghost in the shell movie which is equally overinterpreted.
glad ya'll weren't alive when 2001 a space odyssey was new, people were clawing eachothers eyes out trying to come up with bullshit to "interpret" that shitty shit.

lain is trash

>>84571871
Lain has nothing to do with made up mental health crap, is just a fun story about le internet conspiracies

It has that Deus Ex/Black Mirror like appeal and it got it earlier than everyone else.
