I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.
It's real

I’m gen-x and I am at the point where I don’t know if I say anything unironically any more.
(But you are spot on, slang is there, always, and it mutates as it is needed, but it isnt generational so much as sociopolitical and regional.)
Toneswirly@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I believe this as well, no cap

Ratio’d isn’t even GenZ but Millenial, right?
Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ratio’d is probably more Twitter slang than anything.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Am millennial, have never heard ratio’d before
Rustmilian@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s more Zillennial.
Emerald@lemmy.world 5 months ago
no, it’s boomer
Son, let me tell you a story about how back in my day I got ratio’ed on the twi-er

Ty suka gyat, they stealing our slang!
Album@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was “nerd” talk
Drusas@kbin.run 5 months ago
Aren't Gen alpha still young children? Their slang is a little too new to have much staying power yet.

Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with “generational” comparisons, please, and the click bait is that goes with it? Let’s instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?
Probably not, but here’s to hoping.
jdeath@lemm.ee 5 months ago
nassim taleb calls it “over-platonification,” expecting everything to meet some platonic ideal. it is absolutely pervasive. this is another great example of it
thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Iaranis, I’m not speaking to you directly. Instead, I want to expand on your eloquent and pleasant message.
It amazes me how quickly some are willing to accept age related generalizations and reject generalizations based on other criteria like race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I’ve been around long enough to understand that all of it is a weird control mechanism. I’ve known people nearing the end of their days that spent a lifetime advocating for all the right things. That should be enough for folks to understand that we are all immature, flawed, and prone to bias; while capable of fostering positive change.
Don’t marginalize anyone, young or old because of their age. We all get the same short life to try to live to its fullest.

Nah, its for “grizzled tanman”. You oldies just don’t get it.

Anybody have more?
Agent641@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sunko - a derogatory term for someone who holds strong beliefs in something despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. One who is subject to the sunk cost fallacy fallacy.
Example: These sunko boomers still think trickle-down economics are legit. Jokes on them, the only thing trickling down will be their piss down their own legs when the underfunded state nursing home caretakers ignore them for 3 days straight after we refuse to subsidise their geriatricity.

Older gen alpha are 12-- but all of the references are from current social media influencers. You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.

You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.
something tells me this doesn’t stop the ones w/o adequate supervision.
WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or those with supervision who’s parents just don’t care. I’m on the older end of Gen z and definitely used YouTube before I was that old. My parents never really cared as long as I wasn’t watching anything weird on it.

I started doing this and it works. Even better when I string them together incoherently and then they all get even madder.

I like to use their words incorrectly to mess with them. Come up behind them playing Minecraft: “Are you playing that Roblox?” Or "For Real No Cat?’

You can also make some up. That is very skibidi of you.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
it’s like these words have some kind of hidden meaning and when we (the olden folks) use them it debases their value.
which simply encourages me to use the more. “This shit has skibidi ohio rizz all over, no cap no fleek stream”
I have no idea what this incantation means, but it drives my children bonkers. feel free to try it.
