Xennial humor and The Simpsons. Name a more iconic duo

I was telling my wife about /r/SimpsonsShitposting and she asked if people my age would be into it or if it was a younger thing. I told her I believed it to mostly be people around my age. I have no way of proving that, but I have noticed that any time a Simpsons reference COULD be made, it IS made in the comments at /r/Xennials. That got me thinking. This show debuted when we were in our late single-digits or early pre-teens, when our minds were sponges. I feel like because of how often it was on tv in reruns (I know in my market there were four episodes on each day in syndication) and how much it dominated popular culture in the early to mid 90s, this show is firmly entrenched in the Xennial sense of humor. Not to mention all of the cultural references and touchpoints it taught us. Is there any other show or movie you can think of that is so completely intertwined with our micro generation?
