Generation Loss: The Social Experiments

Generation Loss: The Social Experiments really is a one of a kind media. If you have never watched anything created by Ranboo or even know who he is, please out of everything watch this series. It is by no means a traditional show, and some parts may seem awkward or paced weirdly, but that is honestly all due to the format. Genloss was streamed live, and once you really start seeing the hints of the story after you reach episode 2, it makes so much of what's going on make sense. The finale is the hardest hitting and no spoilers, something you will think about for a long while after you are done watching. This was a passion project (the first of this kind and scale he has ever done!!) created by a 19 year old Twitch streamer who straight up says he is not an actor. But even so, he managed to portray a gut-wrenching performance and while its not perfect, it has to be one of the most well produced livestreamed medias out there to date. There are mountains of social commentaries and analysis you can do based off of only around 5 hours of total content. I cannot WAIT to see where the story goes from here, because this is only the beginning. Watch Generation Loss!!

Initially, I was slightly disappointed, after following the making of this project since the beginning it wasn't what i expected. However. After reading through other peoples views and fan theories (most of which turned out to be true) I was really able to appreciate the plot and content as a whole. I believe this is one of a kind and can't wait to see where Ranboo the creator, takes it next. Going to re-watch it this week :D. The cinematography and mise-en-scene is amazing, I'm a college student taking media studies, film studies and English lit and i think this is a master piece, getting past the initial 'silliness' and realizing it is due to a theme of censorship within the first episode give the narrative more depth and opens it up for more active spectorship.

The show starts a bit slow, and in the first episode you might even be thinking, "Am I really watching a horror show?" But trust the process, it gets very good after that, and you may even find the first episode disturbing after watching the next. When I finished watching this show, I was a bit amazed, it really gets you thinking, and I loved that.

Notes :

• If you like the Saw series or the Truman Show, you'll like this one, just give it a try!

• This was made by a 19 year old! Ranboo is a variety twitch streamer and content creator. They've been working on this for quite a long time, getting an idea of a horror project sometime in 2021, I believe!

My daughter introduced me to Ranboo and she is constantly introducing me to amazing things so I watched it . :) It does start of a little bit slow . Episode 1 is more lighthearted and odd. Episode 2 starts to follow darker themes but definitely holds your attention better. Episode 3 is the shortest one but the conclusion of the story definitely leaves you scrambling to find more videos by Ranboo .You have to get used to the idea that you never completely know whats going on but wow . It actually was very impressive ,the acting ,the props ,the story . Bravo 👏 I sincerely hope he pursues this direction of content further .

While at first the pacing may seem awkward I can assure you its entirely due to the format of the show. Generation loss was broadcast live to the creators (Ranboo) twitch channel and had interactive elements where the audience could choose what happens. Another thing to keep in mind is none of the people in the show are professional actors but content creators so while yes the acting admittedly is not always the best the comedy never disappoints. The show is filled with commentary about how content creators are viewed and how their entire being is often boiled down to just one thing. Generation loss is also filled with references and parallels to other shows/movies (including but not limited to The Truman show and Saw) and I truly believe there is something for everyone. I'd say even if you don't find something to enjoy in most of the episodes the ending makes it all worth it. I won't spoil it here as its best to go into the last episode in the dark, but it truly is a masterpiece.
