Confused mess. It desperately wants to be liked, by demographic it's utterly transparent about pandering to, but just comes off as "hello, fellow kids millennials" a lot.

I unfortunately agree. I loved part one, but this part just feels.. like one big pop culture reference

I can't say I was particularly psyched about part 1 either. It was watching the least conceivably evil "evil organisation" play into the Gravity-Falls/Rick-n-Morty aesthetic, but I can turn my mind off when I have to.

But fucking Christ, a lot of it felt like it was screaming "do you like this?" in my face. To the point of fighting against its own themes.

"Do you like this reference? Heh, he said "boomer", funny right? Jugalos, remember them, so stupid? Look, love-virus, you loved that before right? Cool but not wild, down-to-earth couple stuff? "Woman tries to have it all"? Qanon? Reunion plot? Keanu Reaves?

Why wont you love me!?"

I loved getting to turn off my brain and enjoy some adult show that felt like a gravity falls reboot on Chem trails. (Lol) but I just feel so.. I don’t know. This part just felt super shallow

It't not amazing. People are saying its better than Rick and Morty, but it's first two season are really hard to compete with.

I felt the opposite where it felt like a bubble of the Millennial way of life, which I can't stand as a Zoomer.

I'd say it's maybe Ikea-Millenialism, from the side of the generation that "made it", as far as the generation possibly can. Complains about capitalism, but obsessed about career. Patting itself on the back for how mature it has become, by glorifying being boring. Flashing its faux-moral cred constantly, then turning around and making fun of others. Amazingly depressed, repressed and anxious, but constantly pretending they have it figured out and having fun.

If you can't stand them, imagine being part of the "dumpster diving" side of the generation, that's been too busy making it one more day to bother with all of that. Fuckers think their bougie-shit is the "voice of a generation".

You ever read a post and just know the person who wrote it is super insecure and hasn't showered in days? Its happening right now to everyone who reads this

If you're accusing me of being depressed, then yes, absolutely. Massively and unequivocally.

Those are indeed the raving of someone who's been through some shit and not exactly crushing it, 100, blessed. I thought I spelled it out quite clearly by bitching about the "ikea generation".
