In the 1980s and 90s there was a phenomenon with older people rapping in an attempt to appeal to a younger audience. It didn't work and it was hella cringe.

I'm a gamer born in the 70s and i'm still up to date with games, gaming platforms, streamers, youtubers, and so on. With "Free Guy", i get the same feeling as old people rapping. To include Ninja, Pokimane and Jacksepticeye and making references to Fortnite, Portal, and so on, doesn't sit right with me. It's cringe. I don't relate. It's dumb. It's the older, out of touch generation, pandering to the perception of "What kidz like!" today and missing the mark. But heck - i guess it's worth it when the Ninja, Pokimane and Jacksepticeye fans manages to inflate the score enough.

I like Reynolds and the idea was interesting, but this was beneath him, this was not fun, this was not cool and this was bad.
