100 experiences that define 25-35 year old social media-posting middle-class Britons

inspectorst@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wait, how many 25 year olds in 2024 do you think remember the Mighty Boosh (2003-07), or Chicken Run (2000), or Who Shot Phil Mitchell (2001), or Caroline Quentin-era Jonathan Creek (1997-2000), or know people who were extras in the Harry Potter films (2001-11), or remember the Animals of Farthing Wood TV programme (1993-97), or spilled their drink on Miquita Oliver at a squat party in 2007 (2007)?

I said 25-35, not 25.

Mighty Boosh (2003-07)

Lots

Chicken Run (2000)

Lots

Who Shot Phil Mitchell (2001)

Not many

Caroline Quentin-era Jonathan Creek (1997-2000)

A reasonable amount

Or know people who were extras in the Harry Potter films (2001-11)

A similar amount to people that are 5 years older. I.e. not many in the grand scheme of things.

remember the Animals of Farthing Wood TV programme (1993-97)

Not many

or spilled their drink on Miquita Oliver at a squat party in 2007 (2007)?

I don't even know what that is and I'm 39. I doubt many people did in any age group.

A lot of your comment seems to be based on the assumption that people only watch films/TV that's just coming out now, and therefore no young adults will know anything that came from the 90s or early 2000s.

This is clearly a piss take list.

  1. Being informed by your dad after five pints that if he “had to shag a bloke”, it would be Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs.

I'm American, so maybe I'm just speaking out of ignorance here, but this sounds sufficiently specific to be a list of Dylan B. Jones experiences rather than a list of experiences uniting modern Britons.

As a modern Brit, this list is just fucking weird. It's only a very specific type of middle class English that would relate to this.

Reminder: The Grauniad is just journalists expressing concern about things they know four-fifths of fuck all about, and upper-middle class columnists who think they're in touch with ordinary people because all their friends are also upper-middle class pretending to be in touch with ordinary people.

I mean, I agree with most of their biases, but the Grauniad is just so transparently shit at it all.

This list looks like it was written by a LLM.
