First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh
I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it
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.
Yeah the millenial reaction to Skibidi Toilet is their test for if they will Become Boomer or not.
Oh god Happy Tree Friends was RANCID.
There's some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.
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
Oh how the turns are tabling, or some shit. I have become boomer.
