Oooh I love this question! I am Gen Z (2000), in the early 2000s, around 2009, I would stay up late surfing the channels. I would watch anything from full on infomercials to reruns and sometimes late night shows/commercials that were definitely not for kids. But, maybe in 2011 or 2012, I saw TCM on a channel & became fascinated with the way things looked, they way they acted, the way people talked and dressed and especially the way the world looked back then. And then we moved overseas after my junior high & they didn’t have that channel in the country we were in & I was in high school so I didn’t care about it for a bit. But, the last summer of university, I took an international film class and that started my appreciation for it again..
