I kinda want to make videos of old boomers using all the alpha slang to watch the chao ensue.
Old bloomers are in their late seventies man. They’re not doing much at all these days.
That’s what would make them using the slang correctly so funny.
Hasn’t “pookie” always been a thing circa “Rent”?

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.
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.
maybe
Where’s the “Biboo tax”?
Most of these terms and phrases are modern, but some wouldn’t be out of place in the past. Demure and Chalant aren’t new words, only more popular now. Locked in is a common phrase I’ve heard since I was a kid! Lover boy? Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy? Are you fucking kidding me?
These might have additional context attached to them when compared to the past, but they shouldn’t be incomprehensible. Whoever made this isn’t just out of touch with current culture, but culture in general 😑
I’ve never heard most of these terms. Is that the joke?
Someone explain them all in a list now. Go!
no
Nah. It just means that you have a healthy relationship with the internet and those who recognize most of it should go touch grass.
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
Fucking some of these memes make me feel 20 years younger than everyone else here
You lost the game.
Yeah a handful are just memes/references, like Raygun, Turkish shooter, JD Vance couch, and Hawk Tuah
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
wow, way to devolve into the YouTube comments section, Lemmy. that’s so not fetch.
Who’s got the definitions
Ohio is a US state.
Prove it.
Lore
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?

“OId man yells at cloud” energy
Don’t worry kiddo, the clouds’ll start to piss you off too one day.
It doesn’t even make me mad, I’m just scared and confused
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.
Looks more like the cloud is doing the yelling here
“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.
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.
