What? Weren’t older millenials in their 20’s when Blue’s Clue’s ended?
Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything

I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.
Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.
lobut@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I’m an older millenial that identifies closer to Gen X. I think mine would be … Will Smith crying to Uncle Phil about his dad on Fresh Prince? That was pretty iconic. Wasn’t a good bye or finale one though.
Seinfeld finale was kinda bleh. I skipped Roseanne, Friends and Frazier’s finales to be honest and the fact no one references them. Simpsons won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality.
Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.
Chev@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Gen what? Don’t invoke the wrath.

And they were devastated by it.

I don’t know what the fuck any of this. What does that make me?
XTornado@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Not from USA. Well the last one I guess you could know as is from YouTube, that said I didn’t know who the guy was or is either.
Honestly I haven’t seen any of that I know the rest because of reddit mentioning them in another moments. Again not from the US.
Vespair@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I’m a millennial from the US and I’ve never seen even an episode of Blue’s Clues.
thorbot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I wish I could claim I wasn’t from the US because its embarrassing to live here right now, but I am. Never watched a single episode of blues clues, it was popular when I was in high school.

Gen X?
psud@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song “suicide is painless”
slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 10 months ago
We stopped crying. Except at funerals and over properly cooked steak.
sxan@midwest.social 10 months ago
Yeah, it’s off. M.A.S.H. would be Gen X. Old Yeller got both Boomers and Gen X; I’m not sure which TV show would have gotten only Boomers.

Gen X was too busy not giving a fuck to cry about anything.
linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, I used to wash MASH with my parents because one house TV’s and primetime. It was ok. I watched the finale, It was ok.
I was a hell of a lot sadder when the dropped Hogans Heroes from syndication.
root_beer@midwest.social 10 months ago
Older millennials too, I don’t give a shit about Blue’s Clues. Then again, I’m dead inside, just like an older millennial

Is everyone on Lemmy gen Z at this point? Who in the actual fuck is this dude?
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think that’s Tom Zendaya from Skibidi Drip Rizz.
xploit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
*American Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Defo American. I don’t know any of them (Brit).

MASH was the most popular sitcom of the 1970s in North America.

Nikls94@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I‘m a millennial but too old to have watched blues clues other than by accident while playing Gameboy. According to Google it aired from 1996 to 2006 here, which means that I was ages 2 to 12. It was just too dumb for me. Matt Patt on the other hand, I watched it grow since its start in the golden era of YouTube, the. I stopped when the dark ages started at around 2017-ish. Now I‘m sad that I didn’t do anything good in my life until May of last year.
pjwestin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You’re on the tail end of Millennial, and it definitely sounds like you were the target age for Blues Clues. I’m right in the middle of the Millennial years and I was 9 when that show came out, so I only know it as that thing my friend’s little brother watched. I have more feelings about MatPat leaving, even if I stopped watching years ago. Point is, I don’t think this meme is very accurate.
deksesuma@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Millennial is such a huge range anyway. In 1996 I was 12. There was no way I would have been watching Blue’s Clues.
root_beer@midwest.social 10 months ago
Same, I was 15. Maybe it should be Atreyu crying out for Artax for Gen Xers and Xennials

MattMillz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
He is a youtuber. He investigates and explains different topics, reviews games and trending social media.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Was matpat big with zoomers? I thought he was more a millennial audience 🤔
gmtom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nah his biggest audience was FNAF kids.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sounds about right.
I believe FNAF getting mega-popular was the precise moment when the scales tipped for me and I officially became old. I looked at it, and I decided that it’s just dumb and I can’t comprehend why the kids these days are so into it. I mean, I know the real draw is watching streamers or whoever freak out at all the jump scares and act ridiculous. But that’s just a pastime that doesn’t appeal to me in any form whatsoever. Just, get that kind of thing off my lawn.
I did watch a ton of Game Theories videos, though.
bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I never played FNAF, but those were the only Game Theorist videos I really liked.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Huh, I thought FNAF was all younger millennials
Isakk86@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In 2002 I was a 15 year old millennial… I wasn’t watching Blue’s Clues
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 10 months ago
why not?
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
They were masturbating.
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 10 months ago
I had the same exact thought, but I suppose a lot of people born after 1990 would have witnessed it or the rerun and maybe felt something would have witnessed it, but otherwise it was completely obscure. TBH I don’t really recall any of the shows from my childhood ending with a goodbye, I wasn’t all that fortunate to be worrying about those things.
20inmyhead@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
GenX, forgotten again
AA5B@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I was going to say I don’t really recognize any of them, although they’re vaguely familiar …. yes, forgotten again
linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The only reason I knew it was M.A.S.H. was the font/color.
In this case, I don’t feel too bad being missed. Keep your head down and stay out of the news :)
That said, I watched Theorists with my tween. Kinda sad seeing MP go, but not as sad as MP was.
I expect the channels will go tits up without his personality. The new hosts are pleasant but honestly unremarkable. The show was far less about the content and more of his performance. If you thought the idea was crap, you subliminally blamed it on him. There are plenty of other personalities out there doing what they’re doing and almost all of them go on unknown because they don’t have screen chemistry.
Jeom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
gen x is overlooked way too often, a ton of millennial media were made by gen x
Wogi@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Ummm… Et phone home?
Korne127@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Only knew Film Theorists but didn’t really like them… but I’m sorry for everyone who misses them, I can imagine that it’s painful when someone you like stops producing such content.
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Millennial MASH fan here: it’s a gut punch of a series finale. Amazing show.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 10 months ago
As someone who is constantly confused as to whether they’re a millennial or gen z because everyone keeps listing different years, agreed.
I’ve seen just about every episode because of my dad who loves it and the series finale is absolutely amazing.

RagingRobot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Wait why is he stopping making YouTube videos? I didn’t know he was leaving lol. The other 2 were sad but I wasn’t super into blues clues. I was like a year or two too old for it once it was really popular. Seeing him come back recently was nice. My dad was super into mash though.

I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.

Vespair@lemm.ee 10 months ago
This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is Gen Z fodder.
GiveMemes@jlai.lu 10 months ago
Yeah I’m like older gen z and was huge into blues clues. Tons of people my age hate being identified with gen z tho because we grew up with DS lites not iPads lol.

ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.
The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.
