I’ll start. However, it isn’t me, but Neigsendoig (the guy I edited videos for in the past). He’s been a Wiggles fan since he was very young, but he hadn’t really watched the Wiggles except the older ones. Recently, he’s been learning about the third generation of the group (Anthony, Lachy, Tsehay, Simon, John, Lucia, Evie, and Cathy) and watching their newer concerts for research purposes, especially since he’s been working on an iceberg video explanation, since there wasn’t one that was made.
Of course, he’s using the iceberg made by RedBall2015 and ClassicGio to do it, but he’s been researching quite a bit of it, even if it means he needs a break from it due to the amount of information.
Regardless, he’s been a Wiggles fan since probably the mid-00’s (very young), though that’s waned when he had no idea of the second generation (Emma, Lachy and Simon replacing Greg, Murray, and Jeff respectively) or even the third generation of the group as they evolved since 2013.
Not a fan per se, but that fruit salad song is burned into my memory from my nephews’ toy.
Yummy yummy
So more of an observer, I’d imagine?
From memory weren’t the second gen longer serving than the 1st gen? Second gen was pretty good, they had a lot of good songs and are generally pretty wholesome. Tsehay is kind of 2.5 gen. Third gen has the Nepo-wiggle but is still pretty pretty good. I took my first son to a third gen show last year and it was pretty good, the rattlin bog was on point. Will probably start introducing no2 to them some time soon, there isn’t really many good alternatives for kids music (if anyone has any suggestions I’m open to alternatives?).
The guy playing as the Tree of Wisdom is definitely really good at what he does. As for the nepotism thing, I could see that for Lucia, Antho’s daughter, who she might replace once Anthony retires. The Wiggles are a family business, which has been going on pretty well for over 3 decades, however.
These are pretty wholesome, and won’t cheesegrater on your ears.
For younger babies/toddlers:
And for toddlers/older kids:
They’re a punk band for kids and I love them, I grew up with them, then got to watch them with my niece’s growing up, now my mates kids love them, Anthony needs to pack it in tho, he’s starting to feel creepy, the new crews pretty good tho, still feels like the wiggles even if the OGs aren’t there.
Sendo and I also grew up with them, though at different times I think.
I’ll sum it up for all the little-girl Wiggles fans.
Emma heartbreak.
Ah yes, after Emma departed as a result of some personal things? Yeah, that was a shock (even Sendo and I were shocked big time) to many. Tsehay does a fantastic job filling in for Emma, though.
