Comment on Brandon Sanderson's theory on why the film industry is floundering (YouTube Short)
Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 months agoIt seems to me that 90s kid millennials and their young children are the current “mainstream”. And boomers have just shifted out of dominance in the past 5 years or so
Once again, poor Gen Xers get ignored.

Ha. Yea. Having a boomer generation does these sorts of things. Like both X and Y (millennial) gens have also transitioned sharply from being young (and “stupid”) to now actually old and ridiculed by younger gens. The dominance of the boomers gen in size allowed their perspective over X and Y to culturally persist.

Yeah but at least we (millennials) exist in popular culture and the public discourse. You never even hear about gen X unless it’s someone pointing out how you never hear about them.

Or you sometimes hear about shitty they apparently are as people. Truly left behind.
