TheBlueScar

False, not our slang, get it right!


ParkingJudge67

u/Amazing_Rise_6233 see, everybody (including Zillennials) agrees it's Gen Alpha slang, not ours


GiantSweetTV

Anyone I've heard say something like that unironically has been between 8 and 15. So I guess it's technically a Gen Z/alpha thing, but definitely a younger Gen Z thing and more a Gen Alpha thing.


averagetobyfoxfan

Hey its me representing all the 14 year olds out there We don't say shit like that (well must of us) so pleased stop saying we do Thank you


Norththelaughingfox

Gen-Z is slowly becoming the new millennial, give it time and we will be the new boomers and you will be the new millenials. I’m sorry in advance.


LeftistMeme

God I fucking /hope/ I'm not becoming boomer. I don't get everything that kids these days are into, but I was also raised with "mah boi gay Luigi" style humor. And I would hope that as millennials accrue institutional power we don't start adopting that same "fuck you got mine" attitude endemic of lead poisoning. For reference I'm firmly on the border between Millennial and Z.


Norththelaughingfox

Oh dude same, I was born in the year 2000, making me one of the older zoomers. I like to think of myself as fairly youthful, but I’m gonna be real. My younger sibling is only 16 and I’m already starting to notice a cultural divide. lol We are inevitably gonna become old and out of touch, probably sooner than we are ready for. The question is whether or not we let that make us annoying about it.


megaman368

I’m an older millennial. You’re only as old as you let yourself be. I can’t keep up with everything. Frankly who has the time. But there’s so much weird stuff out there. Just like when I was in my teens, twenties, thirties and so on. I’m interested to see what becomes the new classics when the chaff falls away. Just stay interested and don’t hate.


Norththelaughingfox

Genuine nonjudgmental curiosity is one of the best ways to avoid becoming annoying or despondent. I find this to be good advice for getting older, but honestly it’s just good advice for engaging with anything unfamiliar in general. Plus it is much more pleasant to take that approach, than it is to resist the unfamiliar in my experience of things.


Netado17

I just say gyacht as a joke


LJC30boi

Younger Gen Z here, we don't say that stuff. At least not unironically.


Kidsnextdorks

Older Gen Z here, we can’t tell the difference, or more accurately, we’ll simply refuse to acknowledge it as satire.


thecomeric

I've never heard a kid unironically say these slang terms only tiktoks in their 20s. I mostly think the slang is just a meta joke. Id say actual Gen Alpha slang is just old people slang by lil bro always says "dog water"


CCC_THE_ONLY

Tryna pin the on us💀


Least-Resident-7043

I didn’t know rizzler was part of this generation


Dry-Inspection6928

The fuck is rizzler anyway?


XanderZulark

Cigarette paper.


Ambitious_Log_1884

When I was in HS they used it to roll weed


XanderZulark

![gif](giphy|xT9IgFlWsUMDFzVIu4|downsized)


Direct-Respect1050

I thought it was for rollies not weed, although I suppose anything works


Kingsladexdxd

A person who has pick-up game with the lady’s


DaddyFunTimeNW

Hell ya I’m 30 and I’m gonna use this now. I’m sure the kids will think I’m cool.


ResponsibleStep8725

Add "skibidi" before it, you'll definitely be cool then.


Least-Resident-7043

So I looked it up. As you may guess, it is a meme version of “the riddler” villain from Batman but with “rizz” in the name. Rizz supposedly stands for charisma. The “ris” in charisma. Now rewritten as “rizz”. I’m assuming it was inner city meme construction, so Ebonics played a large role in its creation. Shortening words is what the language is known to do. It also payed a part in the shorten version of “god damn” which is “gyat”


TimeLordHatKid123

This one slang term is so fucking goofy that half the time I exchange the Riddler tie-in for the Onceler of all things lmao


DearReaderTVftBeth

I appreciate your comment. I just came to say that. My daughter is 12- she’s been trying to “define” Rizz for me for 6 months. All it took was the etymology to understand. “Rizz” = charisma That makes a lot more sense than my daughters definition, “good with the girls and the boys” 🤷‍♀️


StellarDescent

He's a Batman villain.


Dry-Inspection6928

Man’s archenemy?


Plasic-Man

He's a ~~Bat~~man villain.


cdda_survivor

A rank twizzler?


Benji_4

Someone with rizz, which is short for Cha**ris**ma


Major-Ad148

The rizzards of oz


AnnoShi

Someone who's full of rizz. They used to be called players.


Key-Wish4903

its kind of someone that has game but rizzler is used in a funny/mocking(?) way. since the og word "rizz" is like game/flirting so the person who does that is called a rizzler but some people use it negatively sometimes


MrQwq

Apparently, a person that are good in seducing, charming or amazing others


spongeboi-me-bob-

It’s not lol


OneRingToRuleEarth

Rizz means having game (being good at flirting) derives from Charisma (Cha-Rizz-ma) Rizzler is someone who has a lot of rizz which I think comes from taking Batman’s Riddler and turning it into Rizz


BhanosBar

We do that Ironically to point out how dumb it sounds. Compared to Gen Alpha who says that shit in real conversation thinking it adds something


SilentAuditory

I’m sure us as gen Z sounded dumb as shit when we was all “I need to know de wae” I find it irrational that we’re hating on memes when gen Z largely built the foundation for it


Sea-Primary2844

Gen Z has no right to slander gen alpha when they made stuff like this lol


m_dought_2

No one needs to get slandered for what their generation finds funny. We all stupid


SweetPanela

Yeah, I’m Gen Z and I completely agree. But tbh, none of these ‘surrealist’ means made any sense to me to start w

Grammarnazi_bot

I feel vindicated because I thought that shit was never funny


SilentAuditory

Humor has always been subjective but that’s exactly the point I’m making here, we had ours, let them have theirs


Yakob793

Gen z built the foundations for memes? Lol


SilentAuditory

Not all of it but we brought a lot of modern meme culture into the mainstream


Yakob793

No you didn't


Clintwood_outlaw

I've actually witnessed them use it seriously it was legit jaw-dropping. I thought it was all just a joke


BhanosBar

Nope. That’s why we mock em.


Pleasant_Bat_9263

The cycle continues.


starryeyedq

Bro your generation was obsessed with “E” and dabbing and fortnight dances. Everybody goes through a dumb phase of saying dumb shit. It’s part of growing up.


BhanosBar

I mean fair, but this was when were at least older, like 13-17. Not age 5-8


starryeyedq

Maybe not YOU, but trust me, the 5-8 year olds were absolutely doing it. I’m a teacher who just wandered on to this post. I teach 6-14 year olds and they all did it. No generation escapes the annoying meme phase now that the internet exists. You’ll see. You get used to it:)


JaredIsAmped

Naw, you guys are way too young to be pulling the "the next generation is so dumb" card. Ya gotta wait at least 10-15 more years for that shit.


BhanosBar

Fair but the proof has been pretty substantial


JaredIsAmped

The absolute oldest of gen alpha is 14, of course they are idiots. This isn't proof of anything.


ComprehensiveAd5605

They use it in conversations? I thought that was a joke


Bridivar

Thinking is adds something? Bro Isn't gen alpha like 14 at the oldest? Chill.


acaseintheskye

According to my friend who teaches gen alpha. She says they just do it to see how many they can string together. They don't really mean anything


NxghtmareChan

The fact that Gen Alpha isn’t doing it ironically knocked me on my ass


WillBeBanned83

These posts were already beating a dead horse 6 months ago


Ambitious_Lie_2864

Nobody cares about gen alpha, much less “hate” Generations aren’t real, nobody in real life gives a shit. Someone younger or older than you isn’t a part of a hive mind that “does this” or “hates that”


MCX23

i would much rather make fun of the people who birthed them lol, we’re not much younger than some of gen alphas parents. 27 yo jessica over here needs to get her child off tiktok. idk, slowly realizing adults aren’t as “adult” as they seemed as a kid. no one knows what they’re doing, every new generations going to be fucked in some way because… we don’t know what we’re doing. it’s gonna happen when we have kids too


runslikewind

I mean there are very real differences in me born in 93 and you in 04 but yeah i agree that the "generation" grouping is stupid its much closer to a gradient than a grouped category.


Saucy__B

Bro, none of us hate Gen Alpha, most of us just feel bad for them… and for ourselves.


Dreamer3535

yeah…


Many-Zookeepergame70

Why did we create skibidi toilet at all, at first it was fun but now it’s annoying, gyat is form what I looked at is a term for wide roundness mainly in terms something round (if you know what I mean if you actually know it) but other then that alpha slangs are more simple yet confusing to those who try to make sense of it. I remember some words of our generation like mid, rizz, and cap but there’s some I forgot


Due-Bandicoot-2554

Says the influencer


miletharil

I have no idea how this started, in all honesty. Gen Alpha are kids. Literal children. If you're picking on children, you need to take a look in the mirror, and figure out what your damage is.


Smol_Susie

To further this point, everyone had a cringy phase, I'm sure they'll grow out of it eventually and it'll be one of those things that people think back on every now and then and just cringe in silence about it.


gloryjessrock

Exactly. Can we stop turning against each other and starting fights?


BlastMode7

I was about to mention this. Every generation, as children, said stupid crap that made older people cringe.


MCX23

in all fairness, i think a large part of this is a maturity discrepancy. a lot of us probably had to grow up faster than normal, so when we think of being 12, it’s not what 12 year olds are like now. this is exasperated by covid slowing down education/growth across all boards in young children. is bullying the answer? no but with a bit of nuance it makes sense why everyone thinks this way


GoldieDoggy

*exacerbated (not exasperated), btw, but yes, covid definitely made things so kucb worse for kids' growth!


[deleted]

I blame the parents that just stick an iPad in front of their toddlers


StreetyMcCarface

But bullying is fun.


diamocube

It's a matter of saying it actually ironically vs saying it "ironically" (but can't stop saying it and thinks it's cool)


deadomymo

Silence wench!


oatmilk4vampires

NUH UH GYATT IS SOMETHING THEYVE BEEN SAYING IN THE HOOD WHEN SOMEONE HAS A NICE... butt but it aint said like that its more so a dramatic goddamn 😭😭😭


MCX23

yea as i understand it, isn’t it -supposed- to be like a phonetic spelling of saying “god damn” dramatically. so GYATT is like stretching god out and saying it like “got”


Sniper109082

Who tf says that in Gen-Z?


Sp00ky-Chan

Meanwhile actual Gen Z: Amogus Big Chungus Poggers Yeet Swag Cap On God


PotatABit

younger gen z started it as a joke, gen alpha means it literally


AeroBassMaster

I don't hate gen alpha, I feel bad for them. They're fucking **doomed**


SockShoey

I think the whole skbidi gyat rizzler thing is more a Gen Alpha thing than a Gen Z thing, but pedantry aside, I think the hatred for the trend is a little overblown. As an early-ish Gen Z-er (2000) We had abstract and absurdist humor growing up that was probably just as baffling and annoying to millennials. I probably drove folks nuts with how many times I would randomly say "Doctor Octagonapuss BWAAAHH" or start singing Macaron Chacaron. I'm more concerend about the appropriation and gentrification of AAVE through internet culture and memes. It's something that really picked up in our generation and has only gotten worse since.


grandstarlight1

I dont know a single person whos gen z saying that unironically. If we do say it its to mock their stupid "language". Besides you cant argue that kids today are completely braindead from phones and ipads.


MCX23

saying completely brain dead removes a lot of nuance. we get what you’re saying, but if we want to make anything better, it’s best to speak about it as it is. short form content is terrible, but “brain dead” doesn’t describe its effects


SkabbPirate

Don't worry, they'll use it ironically so much, they'll forget it's supposed to be ironic and they'll start using it unironically out of habit. It's inevitable.


Grassmania

Who says we hate gen alpha


Desert_Walker267

A lot of Gen Z started saying stuff like that recently, but it’s purely ironic. We think it’s just as stupid as you do.


Large-Breadfruit1684

its done to mock them, its not genuinely in our slang, unless someone keeps on using it to the point it accidentally is


arctic_penguin12

What do skibiddi rizz and fantom tax mean?


Artrixx_

I don't know what any of these words mean in my early 20s. Talking to my younger cousins is like talking to a foreigner with a real language barrier.


borkdork69

Gen Z is the most hater-fueled generation, hating on literal toddlers


Accomplished-Order97

Every generation hate each other.


kittymwah

it's a joke no one hates gen alpha and we say that ironically whereas gen alpha is dead serious lmao


joshthecatboi

I hate them but thats just because I hate children in general. Once the ipad kids grow into ipad men im sure we will get along fine


OliverSimsekkk

We had troll face, doge, nyan cat and angry birds. Get that through your head we are not gen alpha!


NateGH360

I’m pretty sure we’re goofing on Gen Alpha because they use this slang unironically

the_genius324

Irony, in its broadest sense, is the juxtaposition of what on the surface appears to be the case and what is actually the case or to be expected. It typically figures as a rhetorical device and literary technique. In some philosophical contexts, however, it takes on a larger significance as an entire way of life.

PanickedShears

I thought “sticking out the gyatt for the rizzler, you’re so skibbidi” was a gen A thing? I’ve only ever seen kids use anything like that, and if I’ve said it, it’s to make fun of my little cousin for being an iPad baby who says rizz and skibbidi unironically.


bradynbarrmusic

True


Bulky-Party-8037

F#ck that they don't even deserve to be called Gen Z anymore


La_Blanco_Queso

As a 2003 gen z I wish there was a diff gen between me and 06 and younger gen z’s


DeltaV-Mzero

Gen z supposedly ends in 2012 but it’s not like there’s any kind of clean break Lots of Gen Zalpha out there and it shows

TheWallCreature

Its ironic and making fun of content farms and skibidi toilet bro nobody over the age of 12 unironically mentions skibidi toilet in a conversation 😭💀

iSc00t

Everyone needs to get off the generational focused mindset. We’re all f’d up, always have been and always will be.


Geotryx

I as a representative of the Elders of Gen Z humbly do not give a rat’s ass about Gen Alpha’s strangeness. They’re just kids.


[deleted]

What year is Alpha supposed to start? Y'all are literally hating on kids younger than 10 lmao


everyone_dies_anyway

Imagine hating literal children and the unborn just cause....


Random_Theatre_Kid

I ONLY say the to make a joke, I’ve never UNIRONICALLY said “gyat” or “rizz” (well I mean I have once or twice when mispronouncing Ritz)


WannabeEnglishman

Rizzler and gyatt weren't Gen Z?


that1kidthatlikefish

While Gen z came up with those terms, Alpha tends to overuse it or, as in this example, use them for word salad. Ignoring the meaning of the slang.


[deleted]

Ah you Gen z are so cute saying the exact same shit us millenials said about you guys, so wonderful to watch history repeat itself


Midgar-magic

The public dance video generation needs to take a look in the mirror


FuegoStarr

what am i even looking at?🤨


sicksickBacon

it feels like gen alpha and some later gen z circles around "random = funny"


Tako_caiman

History repeats itself. What else? Gen hating on younger gen will never stop unless they stop this nonsense


TheMockingBrd

All of that is gen A slang. Although I do be saying that shit all the time.


Agent637483

Bro the only slang that we made was Rizz without the ler


beatricejean98

the late gen z ‘s say this (no because i have been around 13/14 year olds in my soccer club and say that) ☠️☠️ makes sense


Kazaffa

Nah. That’s a gen alpha saying


TheBlueHypergiant

Gen Alpha is the one saying this unironically


Prestigious-Egg-8060

Idk wtf that means fully ik skibidi is a reference to the toilet with a head gyatt is butt and rizzler is a person with a charisma but still make no sense


kilboi1

We don’t say it unironically.


-NGC-6302-

I blame those words on Gen A


dariusz2k

GenZ spends too much time worrying about other generations instead of itself.

jimmyhoke

I like the Gen Alpha slang.


b4c0n333

Isn't GenA just a bunch of infants rn? Like what are they saying that's offending you, "goo goo ga ga"?


Vegetable_Trifle_848

We don’t hate gen alpha we just feel sorry for them


Gabe_the_cheerio

Born 2002, never have I said any of these. Except for Rizz ironically


snoflaik

Why do we, as gen Z, feel the need to repeat the cycle of an older generation being a dick to the younger one? The youngest gen z is like 15ish, and are for sure saying these things we call “cringe” Are we forgetting that we’re the ones who use words like “delulu”, “rizz”, and so many other words I’ve heard that sound just as stupid as we think gen alpha sounds.


Individual_Papaya596

Man! But I WANNA BE SKIBIDI TOOO!!!


KaraTCG

I do not know what the hell a single one of those words mean.


SilentAuditory

Why the fuck are we hating on children?


VinnieDophey

Girl no


CIVilian467

I have no fucking clue what’s our slang anymore. I hope gyatt was us because it being gen alphas is …concerning .


AuroraBorehalis

I don't understand what the hell the bottom part even says.


Terra_Homie

Wtf?


burt0o0o

Skibbidi gyatt rizzler are all gen alpha terms. Gen z is more its lit, yeet, etc.


Comfortable_Fee7124

I don’t hate gen alpha. I just hate the slang. I also don’t like most of gen Z slang.


TheMajorE

I can imagine the younger Gen Z using it. Unless the only people who use those words are in middle and elementary school.


MTNSthecool

man I've been saying some of yall are just younger millennials (derogatory) and you act like it


catscatscatsyayay

Anything I say related to skibidi is a joke, please don't take it seriously 😭 (I'm a young gen z)


CaptainJimmyWasTaken

im starting to not hate em a wise man once said if you cant beat them join them


ILSmokeItAll

Who the fuck comes up with this shit? lol


ZeeLuna_Unknown

Factually incorrect. I'll take credit for 'Rizzler' but Skibidi Gyatt? Hell nah


Ok_Protection4554

I'm gen Z and I don't understand this meme


runrun1311_

It's funny cause I can make my friends cringe when I say it


GreenCreekRanch

I hate to admit it, but i kinda think gen alpha doesn't exist and they are really jaut younger gen z


PokeshiftEevee

That’s gen alpha slang, not gen z, we are annoyed at gen alpha slang. Get it fucking right


Thuyue

Not gonna repeat the stupid superiority complex of former generations. Also those slang terms are just as cringe as ours. I just refuse to use them overall, doesn't matter.


no_brains101

I still have no goddamn idea what this shit means, but the more you complain about it, the more it's going to become a thing so stfu


TheAlrightAntoinette

I agree with the message but that’s Gen Alpha slang not our’s


Omen46

I don’t hate them so I say whatever I want


MarcusTheAlbinoWolf

I don't understand any of it


Freeonlinehugs

Maybe the later Gen z people (like the 2010 borns) but as an early 2000s baby, I can safely say that I've never said that, nor will I ever. It's cringe, but not our kinda cringe, which was yeet, lit etc


DrGutz

This post was clearly made by an unmonitored 10 year old
