      It’s been around before Gen Z, and isn’t necessarily targeted at them, but: anime

        Well I asked the other user because they seemed to have an idea.

        The only thing I can think of is like shows that are specifically generational, ie about young-adults/teens but set in the 2020s. But I would suggest that not everyone specifically wants that.

        Like, is Pluribus a “Gen-Z” show? Is Andor? Is House of the Dragon? Is Twisted Metal?

        I don’t even think many shows now fit a “generation” template.

        Tbf I wasn’t asking that in a specifically argumentative way, it’s just the notion is lost on me. To me most shows made in the last decade aren’t aimed at any particular generation - and anyone of any age grou, if they had the interest, could enjoy it.

        The only shows I would identify as ‘generational’ would be stuff that is specifically about a specific age-block in a specific time-setting. So a teen drama/YA drama or comedy made now would naturally be for Gen-Z. But if it was 15 years ago, it’d be Millennial.
