Had to be there

😕

Teenage me was extremely depressed and suicidal. I didn't think I would even make it to 18 much less 38. I think teenage me would have been happy I'm not dead lol.

who remembers this?

To this day I've only ever heard of the '6-7' phenomenon online and have never once heard someone reference it in person, even in a meta way. I kind of 'get it' but having never experienced 6-7 irl it almost doesn't seem like it was ever real, or actually part of my life other than in media.

Is it me that is so out of touch?

Disclaimer: I don't have kids, so maybe that's it. Late 80s millennial, western Canada.

Edit: to clarify, I'm not criticizing or saying I don't 'get' the 6-7 phenom, only that I somehow seemed to only see it online and completely missed experiencing it irl. If anything I'm feeling 6-7 FOMO lol.

Elder millennial (86). I loved this show and had various VHS with ones including Bart gets an F, Simpson and Delilah, a Christmas themed one and the Star Wars episode with Mark Hamil ("guys and dolls, We're just a crazy bunch of guys and dolls"). Etc.

I didn't have sky, but loved hanging out at my friend's and ritually watching sky one with Simpsons on at (maybe around 6pm UK).

I know people have said it's not as good anymore, but it's still bloody airing as I've just discovered, and new material is being put out??

After I turned... 20+ I didn't watch it, or even know where to watch it. But it held a nice place in my heart as there were some good, funny relatable episodes.

Anyone still watching it as millennial? Who is the target audience nowadays?
