Fairfax on amazon prime video

There is a new show on Amazon Prime that is finally helping me understand my kids generation a bit better.

Fairfax, The animated series is about the timeless struggle to be cooler than you are and fit in while standing out on social media, and what it feels like to wait in line for a “drop”. This is an adult animated comedy series that follows four middle school best friends on their never-ending quest for clout on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles—the pulsing heart of hypebeast culture.

I feel Fairfax is my kids generation of Beavis and Butt-head. Just like the duo of loners from the 90’s, these 30 minute episodes are filled with all the new lingo and acronyms that all the kids are saying, that some, I sadly had to google to figure out what they were.

If you wanna know what is “hype” now and what gen z cares about, watching Fairfax is a must. From kids getting paid to shoot their parents friend online dating profile pics to getting clout on social media platforms, this show had me laughing through every episode.

The episodes explore influencer culture and what being authentic (on social media) is about, vintage clothing most coveted items (levi’s red-tags), relationships with parents, dichotomies with environmentalism, how guerilla marketing works these days at festivals to this demographic, Gaming and Drop Culture.
