GenX here. Kids doing kid things even if we don’t understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You’re doing fine. No cap.
Make it stop.

It’s easy to say that brainrot is a new thing but can any 90s kid argue that this isn’t the same Image

In the 2000s my brother asked our grandma to wrap a gift for his crush. She wrote something like “You’re such a foxy young lady” and that was a good day for laughs.

A lot of my friends complain about about the “youth”, how they dress and talk and stuff like that. I always found that odd, because i for example had either a bleached blonde mushroom haircut or bleach blonde spiked up hair. Paired with a way too big fubu shirt and weird baggy pants. They weren’t jinkos, but very close.
I have no ground to stand on when i make fun of young people and i know that. Why don’t my friends remember how ridiculous we were at 14?
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
If they’re like some of my family, they see the lived-in familiarity of their youth as “quirky” in contrast to the unfamiliarity of today’s youth which is “bizarre”. They eased into the bizareness of being a child over time, whereas they are getting dropped in the deep end when they encounter children now.
It’s all silly. Everyone is quirky and weird on some level. Some are just more open and honest about it than others and successive generations have been pushing more to be themselves.

I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.
If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said ‘flush.’
I miss the toilet game haha
hakase@lemm.ee 2 years ago
When we played it you also had to go down on one knee, and the person unfreezing you had to sit on your knee while they flushed your arm.

Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.
PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 years ago
Let’s start with you then.
Letstakealook@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Done. I don’t have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.
In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn’t be.
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
I do not see the connection between kids using slang and illiteracy. I’m guessing you never use(d) any yourself?
Also good luck prohibiting kids from the internet lol
Letstakealook@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Their parents give them devices so they don’t have to deal with them. That’s how this slang spreads to them. Do you think 6-10 year olds devoloped “mew?” It was grown ass “influencers” and it spread through media.
obinice@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Do you mean half of the world’s children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?
Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.
Letstakealook@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Literacy, in my country, which is specified because it is the origin of the slang in the meme. You really thought you had a gotcha, there, didn’t you?
s_s@lemm.ee 2 years ago
“Kids can’t read” is certainly a take. 😂
pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 2 years ago
If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

How would one rizz someone else? Basically, what is rizzing?
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
Don’t ask the children, they don’t know either
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Outside of tag (I guess), it’s like chatting someone up.
moistclump@lemmy.world 2 years ago
So to unfreeze them they’d have to like, “How you doin?”

Zozano@lemy.lol 2 years ago
What’s everyone’s take on mewing?
It seems to make sense to me.
I’ve seen others say it’s bullshit.
I started doing it periodically a few weeks ago, and I just had an oral bone spur break through my gums from a tooth extraction I had over ten years ago.
So it makes me think the mewing changed something in my lower jaw enough for some fragments of bone to come loose and make their way out.

Yeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.
90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly

That’s because to you it was just normal.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 years ago
What I remember from the 90/00s: sinch, hella, coolio, jam (going), spaz, poser, chillax, bitchin, burn, noob, booyah, aight, duh, phat, sup, stoked, jiggy, harsh, buzz kill
There’s a shitton more, but that’s what I got off the top of my head
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn’t stand out against everything else the same way it does when you’re older.
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You had to learn it at some point. You weren’t born with a lexicon of slang that revealed itself when it suddenly became modern/relevant lol

Watching millennials/gen x pick on Gen Z for the same behaviors we all had gets old doesn’t it?
candybrie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
And the kids playing tag are likely not even gen z but gen alpha. No one can even pick on the right generation.
gdog05@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don’t think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.
