Its completely destroying the minds of the youth. Back when I was a kid, we had proper narrative videos online like badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM...
I sometimes dip my feet into this universe and read the fan theories. The theories are part of the story, like the TV show LOST, the lack of explanations keeps people watching and making up their own interpretations. The resulting theories are kind of simplistic or superficial which isn't at all surprising considering the audience who watches it. We shouldn't expect deep criticism from children but we should expect c…
Have you seen the one fxwin linked?
Well my trip to Costco make infinitely more sense. I saw these 3 foot tall dolls for sale of the camera head characters. They were titled “skibidi toilet titans” but I was only familiar with the song mashups, not the web series. Kids are always gonna love stuff that pisses off their parents. It’s just part of parenting and being a kid. My parents hated my love for the weird shows on Adult Swim like metalocalypse and…
> Kids are always gonna love stuff that pisses off their parents. Thing is, gen alpha's parents grew up with weird shit themselves, edgy stuff that pushed the boundaries of what is acceptable. MTV and Comedy Central productions for a lot of people, stuff like Beavis & Butthead, Jackass, South Park, and then the 2000's internet of Newgrounds productions.

Desensitized some people, who understood and appreciated the irony, absurdity and inversion of norms.
It hyper-sensitized others, who often doubled-down on the type of authoritarian political correctness that South Park satirized.

Older generations: “Skibidi Toilet? You like this trash?” Newer generations: “Modern art? Brutalism? You like this trash?” Nothing new under the sun.
South Park? You like this trash?
Salad Fingers? You like this trash?
Monty Python? You like this trash?
Rick and Morty? You like this trash?
Elvis? You like this trash?
It's tiring; people should let people have things. And get over themselves because not everything is or has to be for them or for everyone's liking. That's art.
It makes as much sense as All Your Base, no one predicted a non-narrative future based on that.
Stuff like this will be generated by Sora 2 in 10GW data centers while your electricity bills go up.
I mean granted, it's relatively easy to make stuff in the HL movie maker tool as well, but it's more work than AI.

But as other posters say, not everyone was into that corner of internet culture as millennials. Especially the weirder offshoots.
Like Smiling Friends.
