In fairness, movies these days aren’t as good as they were in the eighties, and video games in the eighties… mostly weren’t amazing, and people still play the ones that were good. You can only watch a good movie every so often, but you can play a great game for ages. It’d be weird if we didn’t see this trend.

I’m in my 40s and I’m with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.

I mean, I rotate between games, movies, and series. But then again I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, so get off my lawn, you goddamn hooligans

Surely it’s not due to the increased accessibility of good video games and the decreased accessibility of good movies. Young people bad, have tiktok brain.

Yay, ageism!

TikTok users are pretty evenly spread from age 10 to 50.

Gen Z is the predominant demographic on the social network famous for lowering attention spans.

The link doesn’t break it down by generation (lumping Gen Z in with both Gen Alpha and Millennials), but it still doesn’t look like they are the predominant group. And if they are, it likely isn’t to a major degree.

He’s in Multiversus now so the awareness for gamers is probably at an all-time high
