With pokemon, I was more of a Digimon guy. I did play Pokémon red and x, but never got past a couple of gyms before I lost interest. I actually try to catch 'em all which just slows everything to a crawl and then I burn out. I did watch the entire Kanto and Indigo stuff, played Red and Blue (and 99.9% mastered it, I had all the birds AND two Mewtwos), saw the first two movies, and occassionally I still listen to 2BA Master, I was hyped for Johto and wanted Gold and Silver. Then I watched about three episodes of Johto and realized the formula was staying the same. And it made me care less about getting the games. I dipped in and out of the anime...and, well, if you thought Cody took a long time finishing his story, Ash had more than a handful of Wrestlemania 39s before he did. I finally did play Gold and Silver around 2010, but it took until 2022 before I collected all the Gym badges. Still can't be bothered to complete the Johto league. In retrospect, Pokemon 2000 is pretty much the end of 'my' era, it resolves almost all the plot threads from the dub, Ash saves the entire planet, and by that point Ash had won a smaller league so I was more or less satisfied, and Misty made her stance with him relationship wise clear (even if he was in no state to reciprocate) With Digimon, I loved Adventure 01, hated 02 ,and stopped after the brilliance of Tamers.

Pop culture largely passed me by decades ago. I'm old and I accept that. *goes back to listening to Slipknot* Yep, I'm 34, I have no clue what's going on anymore and I don't care. *Hits play on YouTube..."He's gonna take you back to the past..."*

I always come back to the Grandpa Simpson quote. I just didn't realize it would become true so quickly.

I always come back to the Grandpa Simpson quote. I just didn't realize it would become true so quickly. I get it but I was never with it. I grew up out in the country with no other kids around. I mean, I saw them at school and had friends, but outside of school hours, seeing them was an event, requiring parents permission and rides and what not. So I’ve always was into whatever I got into on my own. Most of what was happening in pop culture passed me by entirely.

Yeah... Friends it's been brought up a few times, but I seriously didn't understand how they were supposed to be likable people. I always jokingly called the show "Jerks". Especially Ross. That guy is the worst.

That guy is the worst. That was Seinfeld for me, except they were meant to be jerks. There were Seinfeld episodes that I did enjoy, but I couldn't understand why it was the juggernaut it was.

Most of it, honestly. I've been into stuff from the late '80s/early '90s since then and have just hyperfixated on that over everything else.
