Greetings to another pointless "I noticed something and I would like to talk about it" journal.
So no porn here. Nothing to see.
Now I was thinking about "hypes". Which to me means, that a majority of people is into one and the same thing. Something that suddenly appeared and everyone had at least an oppinion about it and was excited about it.
I am currently 32 years old. Born in 1993.
And I want to talk about those "hypes" I feelt in my life. Cause unfortunately I was never in time for a hype and part of a big fandom, or that everyone talked about it and I was able to be part of it.
So I want to tell a few things I still noticed (here in germany)
The first "hype" for a series I noticed might have been the series "Lost". Like every adult was talking about it. And it was once in a week I was not supposed to interrupt mom and dad when it aired in the evening.
Of course I was to small to actualy care about this boring adult show. And even now, watching it, I was... actualy quite bored after a few episodes..
Then there where the anime hypes in germany. We had like only one tv channel that showed anime. And those who where there was known to basicly every german child. naruto, Pokemon, Dragonball, Inu Yascha, One piece, Ranma. And I know from a time before I watched animes, that Sailormoon and the superkickers where a thing.
A real hype, I would say, only naruto managed here in germany. To bad.. I was a One piece kid. And I still am! So that was a hype that passed me. And it's a shame, because I like Naruto by now. Would have loved to be in the ages where it was actually exciting to wait for the new episode and talk about it in school or so.
And of course Harry potter. THAT was something you where unable to miss never mind where you looked. Books, toys, art.. Everywhere.
After those "hypes" I would say then the next ones have been the first big Netflixxx things. Game of Thrones in the beginning, and Wikings where the things everyone talked about. I had no netflix. I still don't have it. So that passed me to.
And the last hype I noticed was maybe "the mandalorian".
Now after mentioning all those, I would say, that today it is very hard to actually create a hype for a series anymore. And I think it's because the TV where everyone watched the same stuff at the same time... It's mostly gone by now. Or at least declining in a big speed.
And all these streaming services make it hard to be excited of a series, because they are... bad? I tried to watch Andor.. But I have a window in my room. my room was to good bright to see anything on the screen. (a fact most "modern" movies suffer from). But next to that they are not fun to watch anymore.
Is it just me or are you also missing the moments where like everyone is excited for one thing?
I guess the only hope in that regard might be GTA6 in a year.
