I'm fresh out of college, and I'm curious if this would stand up with people that are my age and close-ish to my demographic. From my experience, I think our cultural experience is the file-sharing or "Netflix" generation. My friends and I all have deep connections to characters from 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s entertainment, because we have been able to access it all. I am definitely going to reference Flash Gordon, Mal Reynolds and Patrick Star in a poll of fictitious characters.

I don't know, it's just something that I'm curious about. I would love to take your test (although I am already primed by seeing the OP's list).

I think there's a chance your cohort will have more people like this (that have great fondness for "older" characters and media) due to Netflix/streaming, but on the overall I think you're a subset. For every person who appreciates classics, there are ten that binge watch current/trendy/popular stuff only.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out with all of the great access to media history we have today!
