What? Weren’t older millenials in their 20’s when Blue’s Clue’s ended?
Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything

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.
lobut@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
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. Simpsons won’t die. I’d say Futurama but like, it keeps coming back with declining quality.
Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
I was well into middle school when blues clues came out and graduated highschool when it ended.
Chev@lemmy.world 2 years ago
How do you know that his name is Steve if you never watched it?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Gen what? Don’t invoke the wrath.
WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 2 years ago
And they were devastated by it.

And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!
thorbot@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I don’t know what the fuck any of this. What does that make me?
XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
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.
Vespair@lemm.ee 2 years ago
I’m a millennial from the US and I’ve never seen even an episode of Blue’s Clues.
thorbot@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I wish I could claim I wasn’t from the US because its embarrassing to live here right now, but I am. Never watched a single episode of blues clues, it was popular when I was in high school.
khannie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Gen X?
psud@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song “suicide is painless”
slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 2 years ago
We stopped crying. Except at funerals and over properly cooked steak.
sxan@midwest.social 2 years ago
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.

Gen X was too busy not giving a fuck to cry about anything.
linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah, I used to wash MASH with my parents because one house TV’s and primetime. It was ok. I watched the finale, It was ok.
I was a hell of a lot sadder when the dropped Hogans Heroes from syndication.
root_beer@midwest.social 2 years ago
Older millennials too, I don’t give a shit about Blue’s Clues. Then again, I’m dead inside, just like an older millennial
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 years ago
Is everyone on Lemmy gen Z at this point? Who in the actual fuck is this dude?
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I think that’s Tom Zendaya from Skibidi Drip Rizz.
xploit@lemmy.world 2 years ago
*American Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Defo American. I don’t know any of them (Brit).
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
MASH was the most popular sitcom of the 1970s in North America.

Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I‘m a millennial but too old to have watched blues clues other than by accident while playing Gameboy. According to Google it aired from 1996 to 2006 here, which means that I was ages 2 to 12. It was just too dumb for me. Matt Patt on the other hand, I watched it grow since its start in the golden era of YouTube, the. I stopped when the dark ages started at around 2017-ish. Now I‘m sad that I didn’t do anything good in my life until May of last year.
pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You’re on the tail end of Millennial, and it definitely sounds like you were the target age for Blues Clues. I’m right in the middle of the Millennial years and I was 9 when that show came out, so I only know it as that thing my friend’s little brother watched. I have more feelings about MatPat leaving, even if I stopped watching years ago. Point is, I don’t think this meme is very accurate.
deksesuma@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Millennial is such a huge range anyway. In 1996 I was 12. There was no way I would have been watching Blue’s Clues.
root_beer@midwest.social 2 years ago
Same, I was 15. Maybe it should be Atreyu crying out for Artax for Gen Xers and Xennials

You’re missing a generation, here’s a couple clips you can do a screenshot for the next time this meme gets posted.

Absolutely on point.

TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Who?
MattMillz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
He is a youtuber. He investigates and explains different topics, reviews games and trending social media.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Was matpat big with zoomers? I thought he was more a millennial audience 🤔
gmtom@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Nah his biggest audience was FNAF kids.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Sounds about right.
I believe FNAF getting mega-popular was the precise moment when the scales tipped for me and I officially became old. I looked at it, and I decided that it’s just dumb and I can’t comprehend why the kids these days are so into it. I mean, I know the real draw is watching streamers or whoever freak out at all the jump scares and act ridiculous. But that’s just a pastime that doesn’t appeal to me in any form whatsoever. Just, get that kind of thing off my lawn.
I did watch a ton of Game Theories videos, though.
bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I never played FNAF, but those were the only Game Theorist videos I really liked.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Huh, I thought FNAF was all younger millennials
Isakk86@lemmy.world 2 years ago
In 2002 I was a 15 year old millennial… I wasn’t watching Blue’s Clues
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 years ago
why not?
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
They were masturbating.
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 2 years ago
I had the same exact thought, but I suppose a lot of people born after 1990 would have witnessed it or the rerun and maybe felt something would have witnessed it, but otherwise it was completely obscure. TBH I don’t really recall any of the shows from my childhood ending with a goodbye, I wasn’t all that fortunate to be worrying about those things.
20inmyhead@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
GenX, forgotten again
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I was going to say I don’t really recognize any of them, although they’re vaguely familiar …. yes, forgotten again
linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The only reason I knew it was M.A.S.H. was the font/color.
In this case, I don’t feel too bad being missed. Keep your head down and stay out of the news :)
That said, I watched Theorists with my tween. Kinda sad seeing MP go, but not as sad as MP was.
I expect the channels will go tits up without his personality. The new hosts are pleasant but honestly unremarkable. The show was far less about the content and more of his performance. If you thought the idea was crap, you subliminally blamed it on him. There are plenty of other personalities out there doing what they’re doing and almost all of them go on unknown because they don’t have screen chemistry.
Jeom@lemmy.world 2 years ago
gen x is overlooked way too often, a ton of millennial media were made by gen x
Wogi@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Ummm… Et phone home?
Korne127@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Only knew Film Theorists but didn’t really like them… but I’m sorry for everyone who misses them, I can imagine that it’s painful when someone you like stops producing such content.
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
Millennial MASH fan here: it’s a gut punch of a series finale. Amazing show.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 years ago
As someone who is constantly confused as to whether they’re a millennial or gen z because everyone keeps listing different years, agreed.
I’ve seen just about every episode because of my dad who loves it and the series finale is absolutely amazing.
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 years ago
cries to self in genX

Where everyone cried
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Wait why is he stopping making YouTube videos? I didn’t know he was leaving lol. The other 2 were sad but I wasn’t super into blues clues. I was like a year or two too old for it once it was really popular. Seeing him come back recently was nice. My dad was super into mash though.
Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 2 years ago
X-Gen: cries because no one remembers them.
Sabin10@lemmy.world 2 years ago
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.
andthenthreemore@startrek.website 2 years ago
As a non American millennial I have no fucking clue what the second one is.

Vespair@lemm.ee 2 years ago
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.
GiveMemes@jlai.lu 2 years ago
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.

ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It was stupid to use a kids show as an example. That episode aired in 2002. Only a small slice of people born 1980 to 2000 would care.
The other examples had an audience with a much wider age range.
