ah then let me explain.
here in the states during a more naive time , public pools were over run with children and adults suffering from the heat (before AC, high electricity use, global warming, etc) adults were there either with their children or to cool off themselves. Special times would be designated at these pools to allow the adults a chance to get wet in an orderly fashion with out all the playing, jumping, and splashing.
The term adult swim is very understandable in this sense
Cartoon network took advantage of this bygone addage to appeal to an older crowd letting them know these cartoons aren't for kids. also the original adult swim hall of famers are The brak show, Space ghost coast to coast, and Sealab 2021. All 3 of these cartoons are remakes from cartoons made in the 50's and 60's. so these were cartoons being resold to adults 30-40 years later.
no one was doing it. now it's the hottest trend
hope that helps
Once ATHF took off, there was really nothing that could be done to stop them
