    I don’t know.

    If anything, me and my younger sibling were actively annoyed by a lot of the show’s music choices, and modern show music in general. In both this show and recent Stranger Things seasons, they put music in every single moment, even moments that should be silent.

      Are your siblings younger Millennials or GenZs?

      They definitely have different ideas about music and sound tracks.

      One of our GenZ kids likes a wide range of music, but most of it is from the 1960s to 1980s. But there’s a lot of KPop blasting in house too.

        Late gen Z, generally modern indie centric tastes; there might be a deeper genre name than that, but that’s what I can think of off the top of my head. Also has some 70s-90s stuff, including picking up a few of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs, mostly Lincoln-era stuff.

          Yes, this scans.

          Indie-alternative is in there but not much recent mainstream American pop.

          The music reinforces my concern that Millennials are trying to make this show for the younger Zs and Alphas, but they are really making it mostly for themselves.

          Which isn’t likely to be successful in the way they hope.

          One of our Zs is giving the show a try but it’s not a natural sell the way Lower Decks was for them or Discovery’s early seasons for another.
