I don’t think anyone needs to get twisted defending zoomer slang. The whole point of this gibberish is that it
fucking sucksis shitposting.You mog into the abyss
It mogs back
Get mogged idiot
Lemmy really showing its ass with memes about gen z slang. Kai Cenat is just a person, Unc has been around since the fucking 80s. Its ok for language to change. ITS GOING TO BE OK, BOOMER
Yeah a handful are just memes/references, like Raygun, Turkish shooter, JD Vance couch, and Hawk Tuah
Fucking some of these memes make me feel 20 years younger than everyone else here
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.
Nah, this is largely gen z slang. Still agree with you though.
Just like borders, generational divides are fictional constructs. In reality there is enormous overlap between generations.
“OId man yells at cloud” energy
Don’t worry kiddo, the clouds’ll start to piss you off too one day.
Kiddo’s middle aged – just not one to whine about language changing like it always fucking has
In my 40s and this isn’t that daunting. Since I try to keep up with what people who want me dead (right wing) are lying about yo a degree, that feels way more stressful than mostly innocent slang. Dogwhistles are what I get annoyed at having to keep up with.
It doesn’t even make me mad, I’m just scared and confused
Looks more like the cloud is doing the yelling here
Who’s got the definitions
Ohio is a US state.
Source?
Ohio, in this context, actually means weird. I don’t know the genesis of it entirely, but they a joke about Ohio being so boring that it’s actually secretly full of weirdness and so now Ohio means weird.
Am I out of touch?
No it’s the children who are wrong.
Can’t we all be wrong?
Lore
Prove it.
just delete tik tok
wow, way to devolve into the YouTube comments section, Lemmy. that’s so not fetch.

What’s wrong with galvanized square steel? It’s a strong, corrosive resistant material great for regular use in damp environments. Just don’t cut it, weld it, eat it, etc. Zinc isn’t all that healthy in large amounts.
Little John uses that shit for everything.
oh my god a new generation is making different slang and memes? should we kill them???
maybe
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.
This is the first generation truly raised on the internet and the speed of new slang reflects that.
I’m approaching 40 and I was online before middle school. This might be the first generation to be wholly raised on the internet (as in the vast majority of children), but it certainly isn’t the actual first.
Yeah I mean an entire generation of literal iPad babies.
Hasn’t “pookie” always been a thing circa “Rent”?
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
yeah but it’s mainstream now
It’s mainstream and also sometimes used outside of the strictly sexual context now
“Chat” being the worst one by far imo
breaking the fourth wall IRL? i think it’s brilliant. my generation got halfway there with “meta”: “chat” is just the next step past that.
Oh fuck(Ohio), I have brain rot
