I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation's new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don't know why I thought we might break the cycle.
Skibidi is the only one I hate, personally.
Most of Gen Zs slang makes sense and you can easily figure it out from context. It even sounds better than older slang in conversation. Skibidi is an exception. W.T.F is that supposed to mean? Is it a verb? An adjective? Both? It sounds dumb and seems to mean nothing...
Skibidi is mostly a gen alpha thing, not so much gen z
the thing it means is "nonsense (derogatory)". does that help
It's probably an interjection or an onomatopoeia, like all the other things people say that aren't really words.
Why it could be an interjection:
Why it could be onomatopoeia:
Any other ideas?
I saw a comparison and it feels like the good is getting gooder and the bad is getting way worse.
