oh my god a new generation is making different slang and memes? should we kill them????
I don't think the issue is that it's new or different. I think the problem is the amount. It feels like pop culture is a firehose now. It definitely feels like the democratization of culture that happened with the rise of the internet has kind of saturated our ability to process things.
maybe
Come the fuck on people, didn't you make the same promise to yourself that I did to be better to the generation that follows you than the previous generation was to yours?
This shit is so fucking stupid. Do better and don't become a fucking boomer
maybe i'm missing context here but i fail to see how this is critiquing the new generation? it's just showing a person overwhelmed by (perceived) new slang, there's no judgment cast here
Subtext. It's the suggestion that these terms are so incomprehensible as to be overwhelming in the first place. The subtext is that the younger generation is exhausting, specifically in their nonsense or otherness. There's assuming good faith and then there is intentionally ignoring the forest for the trees, and I think your suggestion is more for the latter than the former, frankly.
I’ve never heard most of these terms. Is that the joke?
Nah. It just means that you have a healthy relationship with the internet and those who recognize most of it should go touch grass.
I don't think anyone needs to get twisted defending zoomer slang. The whole point of this gibberish is that it ~~fucking sucks~~ is shitposting.
You mog into the abyss
It mogs back
Get mogged idiot
This meme sucks and punching down on the next generation sucks even worse, so instead of focusing on all that noise here's a fun NSFW manga about Gen Alpha slang instead.
How are half of these "Gen Alpha phrases"? The edging Wikipedia article was created in 2004, for example.
Simply means that those terms/phrases are en vogue right now. Generally spoken generations are usually heavily influenced by the generation before them, popularizing things that someone before came up with
It's mainstream and also sometimes used outside of the strictly sexual context now
Hasn’t “pookie” always been a thing circa “Rent”?
I mean, if the boss says it's a meme, I agree with him. Whatever the boss says, that's the rule, I tell ya. I'm a real gooner for the boss. I goon for him like, 4-5 days a week so that one day I can pay some good guys to goon for me. Crime pays, boys!
wow, way to devolve into the YouTube comments section, Lemmy. that's so not fetch.
just delete tik tok
I kinda want to make videos of old boomers using all the alpha slang to watch the chao ensue.
Oh fuck(Ohio), I have brain rot
