I think you've got Gen Z and Millennials backwards.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's millennials trying to fit in with Gen Z to prove to themselves they're not old.

I know i'm old, i just found a new hobby: messing woth the younger generation by messing with their slang.

You know, like how grandpa called every pokeman pikachu...but on purpose.

Grandpa knew what he was doing when he called all the pokemen pikachu

I mess with my zoomer children all the time: bruh, no cap, on god, sus/sussy, my guy.

They mostly roll their eyes, but I do enjoy it.

My favorite is on cap, no god.

Yeah no millennial is doing that to fit in/not feel old (okay there are probably some but they're a minority for sure), at best they're doing that to be annoying/make fun of the crazy slang.

We used to make fun of comic books for making up slang that hilariously no one would ever use, then gen z came along.

Right? We used to be like "this is written like how some 60 year old executive thinks kids these days talk ... nobody talks like this we just talk normally..."

Like the boomers were better with saying grok. No I dont care that it comes from a Heinlein book.
