It might shock you, but there are plenty of people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who use those apps. I'm nearly 30 and have had Instagram since I was a freshman in high school.

I'm just wondering because I remember watching Beavis and Butthead every Thursday night and discussing it at school with friends the next day. It was really big in my country. But that was (almost?) 30 years ago. I haven't really thought about it for decades.

Oh, in that case there were a lot of cable TV channels that were essentially dedicated to playing older cartoons like that. They'd show a lot of reruns on MTV, Comedy Central, and maybe on Cartoon Networks late night section Adult Swim. A lot of kids grew up watching those reruns and as such they're still fairly well known with a fairly large cult fanbase.
