Bro is literally typing out phrases that bug him. Motherfucker has no rizz and hates terms that everyone else is down with. I don't get the hate myself, because they are bussin, for real, no cap, on God. I'm going to continue to say this shit, and slay, because why not?

In all seriousness, my girlfriend's nephew just got a broccoli haircut and I gave him so much shit for it that he wanted something else. I want to say that's bullying on my part, but I feel like it's justified.

A few of these are used more often by Gen Alpha than Gen Z.

I tend to hate these terms at first but I start using them ironically often enough and end up liking them, in an ironic way of course.

The term "woke". It's basically just a word now thrown around by right wingers whenever they come across something they don't like and has become completely removed from its original meaning.

Every generation is going to have their thing, their buzzwords that sound stupid to everybody else. Roll your eyes and move on.

My biggest problem is the corruption of the meaning of previously rigidly defined words. For example, "trauma" nowadays means anything that is even slightly emotionally upsetting to someone. The word trauma has become so meaningless because everybody is now traumatized by everything and it's leading people to take the victimhood mentality over small things while minimizing the effects of true trauma on those who have experienced it. "Cultural appropriation" is another such term.

I don't mind the slang, I mind actually meaningful words being rendered meaningless by significant overuse in tangential situations where they're not appropriate.

I like them ironically. Sometimes I used them myself to joke around. But I don't mind people using slang as long as they are aware when not to use it.

Also, what @Forveleth said is exactly how I see things too. I couldn't have said it better.

When people use slang excessively, yes, I find it annoying. Otherwise, I'm okay with it. I don't get gen Z slang, at least not all of it, and it makes me feel old, but it can be fun as long as you don't use it in every sentence.

Every generation develops its own slang that will eventually fade away and that older generations will find offputting. So long as time passes and we still exist, it will happen. Out with the old, in with the new. I don't like this slang myself -- if I could turn back the clock 10-15 years, I would. But getting angry about it would just be silly. That's just how people work. That's just time.

I don't find these inherently annoying. Most, if not all of these terms came from AAVE; they have a purpose and use within the black community, and I don't have any issues with that.

The problem is that they were appropriated by the masses and have been overused to death to the point a lot of people don't even know the original meaning or use them in an appropriate context (and to be clear, I don't know the meaning of many of them, which is why I don't use them), so it gets annoying and tiring quickly. You get a lot of kids using this words to describe anything they see, because that's how kids are; their vocabulary and critical thinking are still developing. When my generation was younger, we used terms such as "lol, rofl, swag, lmao" and more over, and over, and over again until we dropped them (well, not all, but they weren't as "special" as when they gained popularity).

I know language is transformative and changes throughout time, but I've seen many black folks be annoyed that this has happened a lot to their language and I feel bad for them.

With how a lot of gen-zers are more politically active and trying to be more socially conscious than past generations, I hope they reflect on how they use language and the impact of black culture in meme culture and other aspects of their life.

These don't bother me but I don't know what they mean in the context they are suppose to be used for. What bothers and worries me is that kids are growing up with cocomelon, weird youtube shorts and skibidi toilet as their memorable shows. Those are things not really worth much from what I see. Yeah, there was gross out humor in the 90s and early 2000s but don't even pretend its the same level as the brainrot now - its not. These parents should be showing them shows from their childhood, not just whatever crap is on youtube.

the internet going mainstream has made porn easily accessible that even little kids below 13 can occasionally access it. none of it happened 2 decades ago, if not, very rarely.
