Just to make some of you feel old: I’m gen Z and I’m 25.
Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?
Not the person you’re replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at “yeet” and “yoink”
Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That’s at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.
Yoink is older than scoobie doo
Not a gen Z but I’m actually a fan of both of those words. It’s like a forceful put or get.
It’s like a forceful put or get.
Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.
YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User-Agent: curl/8.6.0 Accept: */* Content-Type: application/json ... YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User-Agent: curl/8.6.0 Accept: application/jsonNot the same verbs, and specific to Emacs, but I’m kind of sad cutting and pasting won over killing and yanking
Oh me too lol, use them all the time, anything that got popular past that though I need to get my little brother to translate
I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t been in playschool when yeet became a thing.
*wouldn’t’ve
Well you know, I grew up in a rural, culturally lagged area, the slang didn’t really catch up until tiktok
I am still in school and it confuses me already.
Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I’m a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don’t even realise are slang as I’m using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.
Just to make some of you feel older, I’m gen z and I’m 26
Imagine being born last century
I guess I’m in a very narrow window of people who are gen z but born last century
Last millennia even
You’re like the tribe elder of your timeline.

Can someone explain?
Using 😂 feels very millennial/gen x.

The only funny joke in the emoji movie compared them to emoticons and that emoticons were old.
I just use that shit cause it’s the first thing that pops up, if I have to choose, this is the one I use for everything. 😑
The slanted eyes emoji
I envision him as skeptical
That’s a… peculiar way to view it. I like it.
I just checked my emoji set. 13 emojis that you can use to express some kind of joy/cheerful mood that isn’t associated with food or feelings towards other beings. Including those (like 🥰) there are many more. I’m probably old man yelling at clouds here, but I’m sick of everyone using the ‘I AM CRYING WITH LAUGHTER’ emoji to simply say anything between ‘huh, yeah’ and ‘haha, that’s good’. Of course I don’t expect the emoji police to show up and arrest them for not producing tears, but this basically inflates (deflates?) the value of everything else. To me it feels like writing your whole text with all caps. If everything is highlighted, then nothing is highlighted.

Maybe just let them be?
I wasn’t trying to be unkind. It’s just Gen Z whose frontal lobes would be just finished developing, that’s all.
