I assure everyone here that bronies are definitely still a thing, in fact I still follow several brony YouTubers which have been going strong since the early days. Although my impression is that the fandom has by and large stuck to generation 4 and left generation 5 for the kiddies, so the output isn't as much as it used to be.

I know literally nothing about this stuff but after a quick search I can say that makes sense. The G4 ponies look like what I picture in my head and the G5 all look like twitch streamers.

I mean, given Pipp Petals, you are closer than you might want to be

I know plenty of people who might say theynwere fans, but that particular label "Brony," ses to have fallen out of favor.

I didn't really get that impression myself, but I'm not following along that closely on the self-identification of My Little Pony fans.
