With the "recent" blow up of the Adult Swim trend or AS trend on Tiktok obviously influenced off of Adult Swim Bumps it got me looking back nostalgically about Adult Swim how it played cartoons or adult animation that no other program would (Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Rick and Morty, King of The Hill Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc) how it was a big influence on the popularity of Anime with toonami Especially Mature anime (Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, Big O, Death Note, etc) How it helped introduce us to amazing musical artists and underground hip hop (J dilla, Mf Doom, Killer Mike, Flying Lotus, Madlib, Nujabes, etc) which led us to lofi hip hop Adult Swim played a huge part in the shaping of my childhood but besides being such a huge influence why I think Adult Swim is so important is because it grew its own personality which made it unique to other tv channels and today I hope to show you how Adult Swim influenced so many ppl and show my love for not only this [adult swim] tiktok trend but also adult swim bumps

ps: sorry about the inconsistency in uploads been super busy with life stuff hope you understand ALMOST TO 100 SUBS! thank yall!

God dude it is insane how this video just dragged some dusty old memories to the surface after they've been lying dormant in my smooth brain for just over TWENTY YEARS!

Literally while watching this I remembered seeing Cowboy Bebop, YuYu Hakusho and Big O probably in the summer of 2000 or MAYBE 2001. To place it on a timeline these memories were from before and little while after Inuyasha first premiered on AS, which I also remember well! I kept stacks of blank or not so blank VHS tapes on hand to record the broadcasts of these shows onto and I'd watch these recorded episodes over and over again obsessively! Next time I visit my old hometown I'm gonna dig through some boxes at my mom's and see if I can find any of these tapes. It'd be great to see a piece of exactly what I experienced as I was essentially unwittingly being introduced to subculture and the wider world of art. Those late nights were like a world of their own with a feeling that's hard to describe. I'm genuinely glad you made this video dude!

Watching Adult Swim in the middle of the night when you’re half asleep gave the shows this fever dream like quality. I don’t know how many times I would wake up and look at TV and go “WTF am I watching?”.

@rage_nt 3 years ago

Something the bumps on [AS] usually contained as a theme was that they were liminal spaces paired with comfortable music. I remember always suddenly realizing how alone I was during them, like the feeling went away during the show but they had to remind you that you were sitting or laying in a dark room alone at 2am.

I attribute adult swim indirectly to the birth of internet culture and humour while still having such a timeless vibe to it.

@tannergriffin9130 3 years ago

Adult Swim is absolutely timeless. You could easily air reruns of the channel from the mid 2000's with no context and it would STILL hit. The jokes would hit, music would vibe, and the shows would fit right in with modern internet culture. Such a timeless vibe.

adult swim is like the anti mainstream tv channel. they put in the extra effort to cultivate a cool and creative aesthetic and most tv channels don’t go that extra mile which is why adult swim is the only cable tv channel i still care to watch and some of my favorite shows (aqua teen, harvey birdman, king of the hill) come from. it’s the only thing that makes me scared of the demise of cable tv. what if i never get to see a cool adult swim bumper ever again ??

@frozen9065 3 years ago

The fact it came on after the second most popular kids channel and a channel that tends to attract 10-14 year olds instead of 3-9 year olds like Nickelodeon was a genius marketing move. Had a whole generation to watch it

The [Adult Swim] logo is absolute perfection. It's absolutely iconic, yet so simple that I just made it in this comment. There will never be a better TV channel.

@skullemojinumber1285 3 years ago

Adult swim payed homage to alot of greats in chillhop, jazzhop, and lofi hiphop such as nujabes, dilla, doom, aswell as putting us onto a shit-ton of BEAUTIFUL shows. Adult swim is a timeless masterpiece

Im 37 and my brother is 27, we used to watch Adult Swim everyday at night. This brought tears to my eyes.

@juvedoo99 3 years ago

Adult Swim is memorable because it simply didn’t care. It didn’t care what was cool, It didn’t care who watch it, or even if anyone did watch it. It existed just to exist. It was also keenly aware of pop culture outside of the US (mainly Japan) and that (at the time) was almost unheard of in the American pop culture mainstream. Basically, adult swim was like that one friend who is into manga/anime and jungle music who we don’t fully understand but totally understand their commitment to being unique.

@javirios3107 4 years ago

I just don’t think any video essay will ever do the Adult Swim late night vibe justice.
It’s too unique. It was too special. Everyone has they’re own experience. It’s just lost in pleasant memories.

@linathebeloved 3 years ago

i remember being 6 years old watching king of the hill, family guy, american dad, and robot chicken all in that order. what a good phenomenon tbh.

@rexcraptor2761 5 years ago

Adult swim was weird and it wasn’t like anything else out there. It was so unique. Thank you for this video it’s crazy to think some people watching this video didn’t grow up with the early adult swim but the new adult swim is pretty similar so they get the gist

@MiniMinereth 3 years ago

Adult Swim was an art form in and of itself, and like you mentioned, waking up late into the night, and having Adult Swim there, was otherworldly. I miss it.

@dunpeal2064 4 years ago

Man, I've always known I love Adult Swim, but I never realized just how much of an influence it had on me.

@deadjoey77 3 years ago

Man, back in like 2007 i was super depressed and id stay up all night watching AS and playing video games. i remember seeing the goodmorning/goodbye bumps and feeling really bad.

@jcplays5831 3 years ago

Adult swim is something you had to grow up with to understand. If you were a kid in the 2000s, you knew you weren’t supposed to be watching adult swim, but you still did because of how new and different and interesting it was

@jotakori8266 4 years ago

The connection of [AS] bumper music to lofi is honestly so freaking galaxy brain. I feel like my entire worldview has shifted with that realization and it suddenly makes so much more sense why I love lofi as much as I do -- especially the ones full of weird/obscure/anime dialogue sampling. I can't say I ever fully appreciated AS's vibes as a teen (smh @ past me), but it definitely left an impressionable mark that I've slowly become increasingly more aware of as an adult.

Also, my dude, I just blasted through several of your videos tonight and holy jeez does your channel and aesthetic speak to me on such a personal, weeb of the 90s level lol. So much nostalgia, passion, and an intense love for aesthetics. Also can I just say I LOVE your fashion -- peak 90's anime cool kid fr. 🙏

Nobody born after 2004 - 2005 will know how it feels to stay up late and catch this stuff or wake up in the middle of the night randomly and hear some crazy bump playing with some show you've never seen play. It'll never feel like that again. You made me nostalgic, good video.
