Kidult culture is right there, if you choose to look. 80% of ticket sales to the new Toy Story movie are to adults. Mostly 34 and below (Millennials), but even couples in their late-50s and early 60s spotted at screenings, in the full merch t-shirts. I asked one of the Millennials about the attraction. ‘These are the movies of our childhood!’ Yes, quite. That stage of life they left 15-20 years ago. But not to worry, they have an adult life too. Trending viral outrages on social media. The giant digital high school. I don’t blame kidults, for kidult culture. It wasn’t them that took adult life away, leaving them no choice but to repeat adolescence for the rest of their lives.
