    This. Our generation grew up on Reading Rainbow and the tail end of Mr. Rogers, not Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is Gen Z fodder.

      Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue’s clues. I had so much blue’s clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn’t) but that may be a case by case thing.

      That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it’s basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I’m still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.

        Millennials are 1981 to 1996; you’re a very late millennial so it makes sense your experiences are more similar to Gen Z. I doubt many people only a couple years older than you watched Blue’s Clues.
