    This was my impression skimming through some of the episodes and watching a bunch of video essays. It’s very millennial-coded. Apparently, a lot of people in the production had their start in Newgrounds which is probably where the millennial-codedness is coming from.

    I haven’t watched the series in its entirety though. I don’t know if the target audience is millennials with a gen alpha/zoomer fanbase that organically tagged along or if the target audience is gen alpha/zoomers with the millennialness being more about the generation the artists came from.

      It’s very much the former, though Gooseworx herself is sorta in the fuzzy ‘Zenninial’ zone between the youngest millennials and oldest Gen Z.

      Zoomers were probably part of the intended audience, but from what I’ve gathered the massive popularity among Gen Alpha was a complete accident that kinda blindsided everyone working on the show. On a personal level Gooseworx actually seems to kinda fucking hate that things played out that way, actually, though I’m sure all the money she’s gotten out of that happenstance is a cushy silver lining.
