The Simpsons is enduring as meme material because it's shared cultural context for almost any English speaker of roughly my generation. But with its decline in quality over the years, I wonder if the Simpsons is still culturally relevant to younger people.

I’ve never watched it

Wow! I would guess that you're roughly the same age as me, though. How did you miss it in the 90s?

My mom literally cut our cable wires.

Wow :o in Australia it was broadcast on free-to-air channels ad nauseam to the point that most Australians my age can quote extended sequences from memory.

Lol our family couldn't stand the sound of it so we never watched it as a back in the day. I must have inherited that prejudice, haha - still can't stand them! 😅
I do understand that the early seasons were an important critique of 90s consumerism – even if that was lost on many of my peers who'd recite the lines ad nauseam at vaguely appropriate time.

My grandmother couldn't stand the voices either. Maybe it's a generational thing. I can't stand the voices (and a lot else) on Rick and Morty either but younger people seem to like that show.
