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.
As a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.
As someone who didn’t grow up on it but heard about it while learning Spanish
What a strange show lmao
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.
Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue’s clues. I had so much blue’s clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn’t) but that may be a case by case thing.
That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it’s basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I’m still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.
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.
No shame in being gen z. The political activism of that gen is truly impressive. They’re doing the best they can with what they’ve been given, and I think they’re doing great. I’m really proud of them as a generation :) I can’t wait to see Gen Alpha come into their own, too.
What? Weren’t older millenials in their 20’s when Blue’s Clue’s ended?
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.
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 never made me catch up. The Simpsons seemingly won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality. I guess I can’t choose?
What would yours be?
Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
I fell off from Friends and Frasier years before they ended, partially because I didn’t have time to watch tv at that point, but for Friends it was also because I just didn’t care anymore. Not sure whether I can really say I was representative of the Xennial demographic though. The finale of Roseanne, on the other hand, was the groaner of a punchline to the hack comedian’s joke that the final season was, so it certainly wasn’t iconic either.
That scene from Fresh Prince that you picked is a great one. I made another comment suggesting Atreyu trying to save Artax, and I suppose I should add the super dark finale of Dinosaurs. Otherwise I can’t think of much else; so many of the iconic characters I grew up watching wore out their welcomes because tv execs in the ‘90s somehow figured out how to suffocate the lightning they caught in a bottle.
I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.
And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!
I don’t know what the fuck any of this is. What does that make me?
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.
I’m a millennial from the US and I’ve never seen even an episode of Blue’s Clues.
It’s from Nickelodeon it seems so I guess you need to have the channel first and then watch it and watch it when they did it…
I mean where I am from the private cable tv wasn’t as common so it was easier for people to see most of the stuff as all was free over the air tv, as long as you had a tv and antenna that’s it.
On America it seems like it would be easier I guess for people not see certain things if they didn’t have cable or their didn’t have certain channel or similar.
Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song “suicide is painless”
And as usual Xers forgotten
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.
