I’m so glad musicals are dying out.

Also the fact that Thrillers and Horrors are steadily becoming more popular is kind of concerning. There seems to be a growing latent appetite for murder in the general population. lol

You lament the growing appetite for murder yet readily praise the death of musicals.

If I had 3 of my friends and a piano, we’d dance and sing our frustrations at you!

Alternatively, people’s appetite is unchanged, but the way they express it is changing towards consumption of visual media.

Cool but awful design, why is every graph in a different scale

It actually tells you right below the title why they’ve chosen to do that

So that you can compare the relative changes over the years without having a tiny line for less popular genres.

Depends on the goal of the visualization. This is an excellent choice if the goal is to show relative popularity changes over time, not absolute popularity relative to each other.

That said, the y-axes should be more prominent to draw readers’ attention to the differing scales to decrease the chance this graph is misread.

It’s also not explicitly stated that movies can be tagged with more than one genre, but, eyeballing the numbers, I’m pretty sure that must be the case.

Yeah most horror movies I’ve watched are plain and boring.

Personally I only dislike the horror that’s purely for jump scares/shock/gore. I find it cheap and not engaging.

I love shitty jump scare horror when I’m faced on molly for some reason. Otherwise I like slow burn horror.

Theres a line between those/slashers and psycological horror, which is probably more in your alley.

What do you hate about it?
I’m generally just uninterested in genres I don’t enjoy, save for movies that instill and spread hate and intolerance or try to pass off falsehoods as fact.

I don’t like the stress/strain sensations it puts my body through. It’s not enjoyable. Being scared isn’t fun.

I hate horror just because I cannot withstand it and begin panicking. It’s damn too stressful, esp. when there’s too much stress IRL. That’s what I meant.

Yeah, romance is way past its peak but still above sci-fi + fantasy combined

It says so in the text there. This feels like the only way anyway, since the boundaries between genres are fuzzy and it’s not possible to decisively compare genre tags on IMDB.

Graphs are for visual representation, a table is more apt for what you’re describing

Comedy looks popular but I feel lucky if I watch even one decent one in a given year.

A lot of films are categorised as Comedy “something” these days, most notably Comedy Drama. I imagine this counts towards the stats.

I fucking hate modern categories.

If I see Lord of the Rings listed in my science fiction category again I’m gonna reach through the internet to back hand whoever decided that through their computer screen.

No, The Expanse does not count as Fantasy.

Is it fantastical? I guess.

Does it fit the movie genre of Fantasy?

Fuck no. It’s 'Hard science fiction" as in science fiction based on real world science. Star trek is more soft science fiction. Possible, but basically magic to us. Star WARS on the other hand, I’d say fits into both.

Most of my gripes come from science fiction categories and how their movies are labeled. I swear I once saw Bridget Jones listed in science fiction.
