    Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

        I like Skibidi shenanigans a lot more than my own generation's "Happy Tree Friends" era of edgy humor.

            I'm glad we agree there. If there was ever a cartoon portrayal of the idea of "cruelty is the point," it was Happy Tree Friends. solidarity

              There's some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.

                You're right.

                I have a deep, deep sentimental fondness for all things Homestar Runner.

            I hated it too.

            I'm getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said "this is banned in Cuba!" I was always disgusted by it despite liking "edgy" humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I'm struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs

          I have a soft spot for happy tree friends, I didn't have internet back then and people shared weird shit on CDs. That was my first contact with edgy humor like that

            I guess Beavis and Butt-head was my equivalent guilty pleasure. Irreverent nearly to the point of nihilism, but there it was in my teenage years, because I was a dumbass.
