I think growing up with live TV made a big difference too. All the big movies/shows that were cultural touchstones for generations would be playing on repeat on one channel or another, so millennials would be randomly exposed to them without extra money/effort put in.
Nowadays, I don't know how people who have grown up in the streaming era are supposed to find these movies, short of following a watch list, seeking out the right streaming service, and probably dropping some cash.
This is a really good point. There are a lot of iconic movies I haven't seen in one go but I've probably caught every scene from family flicking through channels all the time.
I just watched Rio Bravo and realized this was one of those for me. I've seen it tons of times on TV but never all in one sitting. I always thought there was more to the beginning of it.
I agree! I like how we're continuing the thread in a different comment chain. I'm this guy: https://lemmy.world/comment/10422461
It's nice to talk to someone who seeds content. It's been a while.
Oh hey! Lol
Sometimes I forget to read usernames...
I can quote stuff from TV that aired in the late 90s, but I can't quote shit I watched last night. For me the distinguishing difference is smartphones. I don't have the attention span to give a TV show my undivided attention anymore, and I'm browsing on my phone while TV plays in the background.
even without a phone, you pick up a lot between 10-20, and then it sticks around forever and you will always feel good about it (or bad or at least some sort of nostalgic), what you watch when you get older must be VERY good to make it onto the accumulated pile. Most just isn't. While when you were young, that mattered less to get onto the forever in your brain pile. Same with video games. No new games will ever get to the same level in your experience as the ones you played when you were young. Even if they're better and the old ones graphics sucked.
While true, these three made a big impact:
God of war 4
Red dead 2
Spider-Man ps4
I guess they were that good.
