I wanted to watch Netflix today, so I logged in, and this was the first thing I saw. What does this mean? How is My Little Pony considered Millennial media now? I was born in the late 90s, I was 12 when the show came out, and I watched all of it. According to Wikipedia, I'm Gen Z, a zoomer. So, what is it, then? Is MLP Gen Z or Millennial media?

Gen Z was the target audience. Netflix is retarded no surprise there.
>>
>>43648707
It’s because most fans were adults or teenagers at the time, obviously. That’s still considered “growing up,” because almost all of us were/are of lower mental faculties.

Don't you know that 20 year olds are children?

So, on the right, we have Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy
And on the left, we have the two that were missing, Spike and Rarity

They aren't cognizant, y'know? They're basically 18, which is the same as 16, which might as well be 13, which isn't all that different from 10. The maturity of a 20 year old and a 6 year old is practically the same.
>>
>>43648707
Gen Z is the target audience but the original adult fanbase is millenial. Maybe Netflix is just throwing bronies a bone.

Millennials are insecure faggots that don't want to admit that most of the good stuff was actually for zoomers so now that they're well placed in industry they try to extend their childhood to cover the subsequent decade.

Millennials were absolutely still children when they were 25.
>>
>>43650404
How about zoomers?
>>
>>43649476
The issue is that the year they chose to define the generation split is retarded. It should have been like 2004 or something, not 1996. The meaningful difference is whether you lived most of your childhood before the popularization of smartphones or not, two people born in 1990 and 2000 have way more in common generationally than someone born in 1999 vs another born in 2005.

Hey zoom-zoom, I want you to remember that the millennial was the one to meme shit like MLP and Shrek to death in the late 00's and early 10's when they were going through highschool and college and spent time on the internet all day. Both would have had their fair share of popularity without online creators and memers, but the lasting impact on meme culture comes entirely from those creators during those eras who were 100% millennials.

I love when millennials and zoomers argue about who has been more influential on internet culture. It's like watching a teenager act smug to a kindergarten kid about how he's been "around".

I don't know why people are so obsessed with "-oomer." culture.
Oh, you are a boomer? Your opinion is invalidated because you are a dinosaur that only understands about the housing bubble crisis.
You are a zoomer? You can't tell me shit because "you had it too easy" (words said by boomers) so now all the shitshow is on you, not in the previous generation.
You are a millenial/Alpha? Look at this baby dumbass trying to talk like an adult. Did AI helped you with that? Don't want to burn your brain, am I right?

I was born in 94, and to this day I believe people can have something to say, regardless of age. Is up to you if you find it helpful or useless.

You're right but that's just the way 4chan has become. I blame sharty/qa/ culture.

Generational labels are arbitrary buzzwords and also the people making this shit might be ignorant of when MLP actually came out or what millenial usually means.

I mostly blame their dying breath when they managed to crack the site back in... April Fools, was it? I think it was around the 15th of April.
It was like a bad joke told out of nowhere. Suddenly the site had shitty music blasting in all boards, and a massive banner saying "/qa/ WON!", and the place being usable again.
It was the reason why /qa/ and /f/ were deleted, and /lit/ no longer accepts pdf files being shared just in case. Now everything has to be links only.

4chan is a place for people to vent and shit out their frustrations under the guise of anonymity, it was always like this because it takes very little effort to express your dumbest impulses.

I miss McSweezy. His CYOAs were fun, but it was obvious he drank too much of the furry cup.
I guess that's was a side effect of the tumblr era. Either you became a furry or a LGBTard.

Did a lot of stuff here back in the day, but then he went furry, and nowadays he makes anthro content on Twitter.

No, he's being ESL and that's not allowed, as dumb as generational division is anyway.

I wonder what happened to make artists look at the furry void, and then comeback as sex pests.
Even furry artists aren't safe between them. This guy, Replica, I liked his old artworks, but eventually he pushed into the fat and milfy look, and now every female anthro he does is a fat woman in her 30s/40s.

I wonder what the torrenting scene is like nowadays with private trackers.
I've only ever just used the pirate bay to torrent shit, but it seems to be way slower then it used to be, I had to wait a handful of hours to torrent a ~2gb or so game because out of the 6 seeders, only one guy was actively seeding to me, I did leave my qbittorent open to seed back to others for a hour or two before closing it.
I dunno, maybe this is normal, definitely not normie accessible though since most normalfags can't into

Even the pony torrents for MLP FiM G4 don't have their metadata 100% right, and torrenting half of S1 took a couple of hours.
