I'd say early millennial, yeah. Because I'm right at the tail end of Gen X and I remember a lot of my slightly-younger friends being really into it at the time, so it was sort of inescapable. (And not terrible!) Almost sort of straddles the generational line, but definitely it's not straight Gen X.

I'm not sure you can say early millennial, millennials started being primary audiences in the early nineties. Saved by the Bell was Millennial humor, so was Daria (although parent shows of both were late Xers, the latter's parent being a very late outlier).

Good point. I was definitely too old to have any interest in Saved by the Bell, at the very least. I didn't realize they were contemporaries.

IMO Saved by the Bell is clearly Gen X. But my definition of the generations here differs from most peoples' - I don't think millenials start until 1983 or 1984.

Millennials start being born on Jan 1st, 1980. I agree SBTB started as GenX-ish (it was a kiddiefied version of the Gen X's last great movie, Ferris Beuller's Day Off), especially in its Good Morning Miss Bliss iteration, but by the end of its run it was very Millennial. It is a transitional show.

The generation divides are firmly defined by the US Census and various polling groups, SBTB is firmly a Millennial show with a strong young Gen X fanbase. The original series was rerun for years and that unwatchable New Class shit aired until the late 90s/early 00s, that show is more Millennial nostalgia than Gen X.

The US Census Bureau has their opinion, and that's fine.

You are not one of those guys who ignores the Census Bureau? C'mon man, just accept the frontier closed in 1890.

I've seen 1979 and 1980 cited as the beginning of Gen Y, a long time ago before researchers and the Census settled on the start year, but I have never seen 1984. You are alone on that one.

Generational divides are not really matters of opinion.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-29 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course they are.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Okay?

The oldest millennials were still kids in the early 90s, so not the primary audience for anything aimed at people like 15 and up. When I think of Gen X media I think of stuff aimed at people who were older children/teens in the 80s and late-teens/young adults in the 90s. I was the one who mentioned Clerks and South Park upthread, and those were made by Gen X people and aimed at an audience of people the same age as them, give or take.
