Seriously guys, if we were given the Vectrex or Pong in 1990, and had OUR reactions recorded, we would probably also seem like a group of privileged little assholes, because those consoles are BORING compared to what we had. Just saying.

Kids React (to Hatsune Miku, in that case) is how I discovered...
Put best, when kids reach their own conclusions on something they feel is "theirs" it is not easy to change their minds.

IIRC, that whole episode was mostly about live performances of Hatsune Miku rather than the music or even the program featuring the vocal samples. The narrow-mindedness of these shows lead kids to have the most absurd reactions. Its all about shock value as opposed to educating kids about different cultures or ideas.

It is a good opportunity to teach diversity and understanding... But you're correct about it's shock value.

Actually I think their answers are surprisingly intelligent and actually mostly nice towards the old hardware.

Speaking of which. is there a Vectrex music scene?
Doesn't seem like there is, but it _would_ be possible indeed:

That's correct, in the long run we're really just supposed to think the kids are funny. My understanding is that most of them have acting backgrounds and have been in commercials and such, so many of them are overreacting and might even be using a script.
It's just a coincidence but this came up a little bit later https://twitter.com/momoko_f/status/486357290694356992
To me, this is simultaneously comforting and sad, look up one of those "your family and chiptune" threads to understand why.

Thy shall never speak ill of the almighty vectrex.
But on a more serious note, I have one of those suckers and it still amazes people of all ages how sharp the graphics are. To quote "Why do we still use pixels when this exists?" or this "It's better than HD". So the vectrex is still quite amazing to people, due to the vector graphics.

I saw this. I couldn't even believe some of the things these kids were saying about 'APPS' and stuff on a GB. It's like they're not even human
