I feel dead at 24
I am a bit older than 24 and enjoy learning the new patois tbh. It’s super interesting to me how language evolves endlessly in all these innumerable offshoots and how niche cultures generate all these different codes and concepts and wordplay and stuff.
I like that the youth are forever both borrowing from the old and scouting new grounds of their own in these ways and in countless others as well. So the renewal and rechristening of culture is based and I-like-it-pilled akchooly 🤓
Edit: a letter
Good use of patois, but it’s spelled with an ‘s’ :)
Nice to know. Thanks for the lesson!
Kids ain’t even know how to spell patwa, I feel u tho cuz I’m cool af. Fr fr.
$rm cli args make the best slang.
-vvvvv
Bro you are so hip that your rizz is higher than the Empire State Building.
That’s so skibidi Ohio, chat, no cap.
This is something I don’t like - calling the viewers “chat”. I mean, it’s gender neutral, but I’d just randomly call them Ladies, Gentlemen, Ladymen, Gentles, viewers, guys, gals, bros, sis’s, folks, roflcopters, grills…
I’m no streamer btw. Maybe I‘d just get skibidi cancelled lol xD
I’m cool with it for streams, but it got really confusing because I’ve also heard slightly older young’uns refer to ChatGPT as “Chat”
So, like, “Idk I heard it from Chat” can either be a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust random twitch users, or a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust inchoate AI tech.
They are literally referencing a live chat though—when you see it recorded on YouTube you aren’t always seeing what they see. Most times I have seen people say “chat”, it is because they are literally looking at a chat room screen, or they are saying it somewhat ironically to reference the community of chatters that they typically interact with.
Furthermore, the way those chats work is sort of like an anonymous hive mind rather than individual users, so people say “chat” to refer to the meta-consensus of comments rather than an individual. If you imagine their community as a summer camp, it is the same energy as saying “good evening campers” when addressing the hoarde of identical kids in scout uniforms—their identity is being addressed as a group.
“Yeet” is 10 years old now.
Jesus Christ… I’m old enough to have kids that would have said yet… where’s my ibuprofen?
You would have been a child when yeet started becoming popular though
Scientists: (hold beer) …
Yeet
You can make up words at any age.
Marvy fab
If you also make up a way to pronounce them, a grammar and potentially a culture to go with it, you’ve just made a conlang
Isn’t he cheering in that scene?
I’m old and new words are neat
This helped me but it is only valid for 15 minutes
13 of those terms are not new at all lol glad to see there’s at least some overlap between generations.
Now if we can just psyop them into using “rad” and “sick” again 👀
Totally tubular!

Meh. The churn of brain rot on social media platforms has become so desperate I don’t even try to figure it out anymore. Too many vainglorious famewhores all trying to coin terms or “challenges” making it a massive churn of ever-shifting garbage to steer views their direction.
I mean, before the stupid challenges it was Jackass; before that it was America’s Funniest Home Videos. Dumb entertainment has always existed.
AFV edited the shit of its show. People didn’t get hurt, there were no politics, it was silliness and “family” entertainment.
Jackass was all about stupid humans hurting each other or themselves. But they didn’t imply or tell you to engage in the stupidity.
The social media tools today are actively and willfully destructive. Doesn’t matter if it’s telling outright lies about politics or the sciences, or “challenging” people to do risky or damaging things.
Yeah, stupid humans have done stupid things since forever, but now they’re paid to do it and encourage others to do so as well.
OP glazing
Is now a bad time to point out that all words are made up? If your generation got to do it, there’s no reason to begrudge any other.
You’re zenging, mosh
I’m 40+ and I keep inventing words with friends, why blame the young ones ?
(I mean except for the fact that they listen to shitty music and ours was better 👴)
You probably just forgot about all the bad music you used to listen to and now compares all the new stuff to the best from your time.
That was supposed to be an old grumpy man joke
That Lo fi shit kids listen to is such trash. I know im an old man now but damn, even the 2010s had more bearable music
I don’t know what happened circa 2005 where radio stations banded together to only play the worst music but there is still good music around. It just doesn’t see play in avenues you’re exposed to
(This extends to streaming)
Radio stations have always played bad music.
…what’s wtong with lofi? It’s background noise that helps tons of people focus.
I like to use 1920s slang to even things out.
Well, got to skedaddle.
