    Gen Z is just that episode of Star Trek where they couldn't understand the alien species because they only spoke in metaphors and memes, and no one understood them because they did not know the context of WTF they were talking about.

      Older millenial here. While I did perceive most of the speech, I feel like I was merely making comparisons between Gaius speech (which has already been engraved in my head) and what is being said, so that might have helped. But more importantly, I don't think I will actually be using these terms in real life, unless I'm doing it like an uncle trying to use newer slangs.

    • @iantaakalla8180
      @iantaakalla8180 2 месяца назад +1

      The funny thing is that it is the exact same. It’s just that it’s steeped in horrible internet culture and you need to be aware of one k-pop term, a lot of incel/looksmaxxing terms, and even more cancellation terms, and some popularized AAVE slang.

    • @autisonm

    The term "Brainrot" was used previously to describe a show, book, game, (insert entertainment form) so dumb it would rot your brain just by indulging in it. I guess this new use is acknowledgement of the previous?
    Also, "finesse" is not slang and is an actual word used in the correct context here. It means to do something in a delicate manner so that it's not easily noticed. It has been used in the manner here for a long time (especially when it comes to getting dates, job interviews, career advancements, etc). It's basically a nice way of saying "manipulate".

    Once upon the time there was a beautiful RUclips video...
    ..that fell to brainrot and became cringe inside and out.
    The more its viewers tried to understand, the more they are confused.
    Until they let go of their sanity, and embrace the madness.
    Those who denied the cringes, those who ravel in insanity...
    And all of them still do not understand anything in it to these days.

      Actually it’s not even strictly Gen Alpha either. This is just the entirety of Gen Z slang from 2010 to now and it feels like a dank farewell to the freewheeling of these memes.

    Wait if they have "delulu", Why do they bother butchering the word Cope to mean basically the same thing??

    • @iantaakalla8180
      @iantaakalla8180 2 месяца назад

      Delulu is specifically from k-pop while coping is a more streamer/gamer term. Unfortunately, because “Gen Z humor” is just the mashing up of the collective last 15 years of slang with no regards to even when the slang was most popular and therefore which would use what, there are redundant terms.
