Oh no I'm not playing that game, that's leading into an argument that I'm not going to have
Tbf I wasn't asking that in a specifically argumentative way, it's just the notion is lost on me. To me most shows made in the last decade aren't aimed at any particular generation - and anyone of any age grou, if they had the interest, could enjoy it.
The only shows I would identify as 'generational' would be stuff that is specifically about a specific age-block in a specific time-setting. So a teen drama/YA drama or comedy made now would naturally be for Gen-Z. But if it was 15 years ago, it'd be Millennial.
This is such a weird trend in general in the past few decades. We went from typifying things by decade to typifying them by generation, which makes no sense whatsoever because these generations are still alive. It's not like everything from 2000-2010 was made for millennials specifically and no one else is allowed to watch them. Shows might have general target age ranges that are taken into consideration in marketing, but amazingly people don't stay the same age their entire lives and targeting has very little to do with who might actually enjoy a show.
The concept that a specific piece of entertainment, terminology, fashion, or idea belongs to one specific generation and only that generation is extremely silly. Each generation doesn't just wither up and die once the next generation hits their 20s or whatever. Likewise, there's nothing stopping a teenager from sitting down and watching Farscape and deciding they love it.
...millenials are old now; their lives are practically over anyway so it's not like they matter anymore...
Okay boomer.
What movie is that?
