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.
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…
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:
- people just say it unprompted and without context.
Why it could be onomatopoeia:
- the word skibidi represents nothing except the sound you make while saying it
Any other ideas?
I’ve found that as an Older Millennial, I actually relate to Gen Z quite a bit and get along with them well. It’s Gen Alpha that I never have any idea what the hell they’re talking about.
L8er sk8ers!
My 4 year old is gen alpha. So I’m kind of glad adults on the internet don’t relate to that generation yet
