Lets start with southpark. I was like 10 when it came out and obviously, to me, it defines a certain part of my childhood. Im not a die hard fan but, yeah, when those children started cussing it was all I wanted. So, when you say southpark doesnt hit, it hasn’t hit me specifically for years. Trey and Matt just phone this shit in. Its a conduit for their current frustration and thats not what it was originally.
In fact, the fact that southpark can be what it is today is a major shift in society and is progress. At release people were crushing pearls over the most benign things in the show. It changed culture. Trey and Matt had an impact but Ill agree with you that its not as meaningful, right now. The fact is the culture around southpark is stale. It preaches but only preaches and honestly some of the messages are lazy and not that important.
The problem isn’t south park. The problem isn’t Trey and Matt. The problem is time moved on and we haven’t. Frankly, being a millennial, I probably wont ever move on. The people who get to decide comedies future are the kids. Its always been the kids. The kids need to decide what youtube sensation is going to be the voice that pierces their parents internet fortified emotional shell.
A while back i wrote rhe edgiest thing I could think of and I dont mean it literally but the truth in the words are bleak:
paraphrasing
If the children of tomorrow want to be on the right side of history dont start a punk band. Smother your parents with a pillow while they sleep.
Me, Im on the way out. I got the best era in all of human history so far. I dont have any children but boy would they be mad that their parents fucked around and they are the ones finding out.
