[Level 2: The Masterful Synthesizers]
Creators who consumed Level 1 and turned it into accessible art.

[Level 3: The Childhood Cartoon Nostalgia]
Shows inspired by Level 2, simplifying the themes further for broad TV audiences. (e.g., Steven Universe, Adventure Time).

v
[Level 4: The Modern Web Animation Echo Chamber]
Current internet creators whose only influences are Level 3 cartoons and video game lore. The art becomes entirely derivative, relying on flat tropes, subtle, non-radical contemporary mainstream political & social statements, and literal therapy-speak because they don't know how to pull from real-world subtext
