I do not get the appeal of YA/teen fiction. I don't get why its so popular with my age group

Shit like 13 Reasons Why, Riverdale, literally the CW as a whole, etc, all unwatchable trash

It's because having childlike hobbies and tastes has become culturally acceptable.

It's because they're simple and easy to digest. Not that there's anything wrong with enjoying them, but that's where the wide appeal comes from, because they cast a wide net.

Probably because most 17 year olds on TV are played by 30 year olds.

It's sad that the internet age has infantilized our society to such a noticeable extent yeah, but at the same time our slowed perception of age can also be attributed to us literally aging at a slower rate due to advancements in technology & general nutritional knowledge among other things, so it's not all bad; couple extra youth years is the least us 90s babies could get after living through 9/11, the Great Recession & COVID-19 before even hitting our 30s.

Riverdale is a bit dumb, but entertaining.

Also I kinda laugh that those "15 years old" are obviously in their 20s(even some probably late 20 or even early 30)

I'm 31 and haven't watched any of that. I always thought 13 reasons why was targeted at people in their early 20s and teens whose parents don't restrict what they watch.

Honestly I think the term adult is only really applied those 40+ at this point, if that.
