I had to google that reference

Anyways I am less talking about scientific facts and more about characterization and cohesive writing. The Simpsons did care about that back when I watched them - but that was years ago, I think I stopped watching around season 15-18.

it's not just about science facts, it's just a way to basically say " no need to worry about every little thing."
Some times The Simpsons will nod to pervious things and other times totally ignore something as if they didn't happen.

" no need to worry about every little thing."

I understand that, I found characterization not a little thing though. Imagine Homer suddenly behaving and speaking like Lisa (without any plot reason). And a lot of their characterization and background is based on their generation, at least thats how I read them.

I mean its not a big thing, its not that I am mad now, I stopped watching Simpsons more than 15 years ago. I just wondered in my initial post if it just a little thing for a flashback or if its a permant change to their characterization. Did they just wanted to make a scene in the 90s or are Homer and Marge from now on actual Millenials future episodes included. That was my curiosity.

My initial post was more of a question and not a rant about Homer being a Millenial.

sliding time scale is another trope, and yes Homer and Marge are millenials.

For a while they were Gen xers. And Homer is now a white passing AA (because his grear grandfather was an escaped slave) with a native great grandma.
