As a member of Gen Z (I was just barely born in the 1990s), I was admittedly quite fascinated when I saw people debating whether or not my generation knows ‘90s movies. That’s because, admittedly, I don’t know them that well. I know the best movies of the 2000s, and I’m up on current TV hits. However, when it comes to the throwbacks from the decade I was born in, I’ve had to put in an effort to watch them. So, why is that the case? Well, some people on Reddit put a lot of thought into this.
The common consensus on this generationology Reddit thread about why “Millennials and Gen X know more about pop culture that was before they were born than Gen Z” seemed to surround how various generations grew up watching TV (and movies on TV). As Wooden-Muffin-3981 wrote:
