Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I'm into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.
By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc... And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus' song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.
Weird to think where I'd be without either.
This is why I am fucking terrified of Gen Alpha raised on Elsagate-style youtube shorts.
Wonder what the media trajectory of growing up watching your beloved cartoon friends unexpectedly mutilated as their chubby little baby fingers scroll into the weird part of youtube
We are gonna get some uniquely fucked up people in the next two decades.
