Honestly, as a rapidly aging Millennial, only skibidi upsets and confuses me.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.

Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.

Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?

I was forged in the fires of Gmod before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's balls, kiddo

Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins

It’s also very reminiscent of the kind of content that 2000s newgrounds would host.

Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.

Skibidi doesn't have a universal meaning as a slang word. It gets tossed around differently depending on the group of friends using it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

For me "skibidi-bap" is a vocal flourish I'd hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as "booom selecta" or some others but it's up there.

I’m young millennial but as long as crinj means cringe… I’m only not sure about rizz, skibidi, or ohio.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Rizz is short for charisma, Ohio is a terrible place to be, and Skibidi seems to be a chameleon word with many different uses - cool, bad as in good, bad as in bad...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Old millennial with a middle schooler, so I learn enough to screw with them. If you have rizz, you’ve got charisma, if you are rizzing, you’re using charisma to flirt. Skibidi I’m guessing on, but it’s something that’s just generally whack, to use our own generations slang. Ohio is not one I’ve heard, but I’m guessing just a metaphor for a general state of pathetic, just like the state itself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's funny how you hit the nail on the head with Ohio perfectly since that's exactly the origin of it, people notices how there's nothing ever going on in Ohio and it just evolved from there.

I’m only not sure about rizz, skibidi, or ohio.

I mean, Ohio should be self-explanatory to anyone familiar with the state.

Well that's your own fault, now isn't it? \s

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Ohio is what we in the US might call a "fly-over state." Meaning, a state that you want to fly over/through as part of a trip to elsewhere, rather than a place that you want to visit.

Deeply divided?

As it should... as it should:-).
