Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think you've got Gen Z and Millennials backwards.
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.
This is the way

I definitely enjoyed that xD
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.
