Hi
Ur welcome! Can'T wait To see your next theory Pal!
Ive been watching you for a long time, and watched all of your vids, and ngl, you're better than sunny v2 and internet anarchist combined, not saying they're bad, but you're just better imo.
Your so skibidi 😎🔥/j
I love how your videos are edited and how it delivers the topic. Really resonates with me.
Gen Z, can we all collectively agree that we aren’t going to give our kids iPads?
They will feel left out bc their friends prolly have one, give them a iPad just with time. Time limit
@@itxMari YUP agreed
im not gen Z, just a older part of gen alpha but i agree too
I would, just not at a young age. Maybe when they start going to school I might consider giving them electronic devices.
My child ain't getting any electronics besides a flip phone and desktop (for school only!) until she is in middle school. She will learn with educational books, toys, and occasional educational TV. These iPads shouldn't be given to anyone below middle school age imo as they're near impossible to monitor 24/7
"Parents are becoming increasingly worried..." Then stop giving your kids those devices.
EXACTLY!! People quick to blame the kids when the parents gave them these devices in the first place, making these devices replace parenting. I cringe when anyone blame the new generation, we've been doing that since the beginning of time.
@@MisF1998yea bro I left a comment in another vid about this,it was called "The real reason everyone hates gen alpha"
fr it’s the result of lazy ass parents and then they blame the kids for their doing. blame the lazy parents who don’t want to deal with the kids.
Not just the devices. Start treating your kids as kids and discipline them more. No means no. Rudeness gets a timeout. Disrespect gets you a spanking. Worked for hundreds of years before and this is what you get when you take it away.
@@MisF1998 No we haven't been doing it since the beginning of time. Only when civilization starts falling apart. When Socrates first said that about about how kids had bad manners, contempt for authority and showed disrespect for elders, do you know what happened afterwards? The fall of the Athenian Empire. Greece was never the same again after that and a far cry from the days of Alexander the Great. Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus said something on the same lines as the Roman Empire fell apart... So when old boomers are complaining about the youth of today we as a whole of Western Civilization should stop and pay attention, cause the pattern fits repeatedly that of John Calhoun's Universe 25 (Mouse Utopia), where degeneracy in society comes right before society collapse...
My mother has been an elementary teacher for the past 30 or so years. Up until recently, she has never had issues with her students, but now her students are more and more rude. They talk rudely to her, they ignore her completely and disregard her instructions. They physically hurt her, and never do any work assigned to them. The craziest thing is that she is not able to punish them at all, and must also accept any assignments at full credit, regardless of it being completed or not. The parents of these kids need to do something, and the school system must as well. They are able to behave as if they own the world, and get to do whatever they want. There is no sense of discipline in them, and there won't ever be unless someone stands up to them and lets them be sad and face difficult situations.
this generation is doomed and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it
@@ZebraDoveZD There's nothing people, who have nothing to do with children, can do. The teachers and PARENTS could do something if the former were allowed to and the latter would get up from their butts.
The thing is, it isn't the kids' fault. It's the foundation that was laid upon them.
Nah it's simply the parents fault..
@@EmochickenYesitsbrainrotit’s both 🤷🏾♂️
@@KAYSHINKUThe kids don’t know any better. They don’t even have sentience! They just use whatever their parents give them. You think it’s their fault when the parents are the ones providing and supporting the addiction?
I agree. I'm a gen alpha and luckily, I live in a place where people aren't as obsessed with the internet as the people in the video are. I'm in an Asian country where we mostly do art, music, sports and academics. It’s a bit stressful, but at least our parents won’t just give us an iPad to keep us occupied😊
I was addicted to sports and I devoted all my time to it. I've never been a fan of makeup. I hated it when I tried it. It keeps melting and feels so uncomfortable 😣 I'm glad I'm a "tomboy"
the internet made me hate that i'm part of gen alpha
Be thankful you are not way too childish, just like late generation alpha.

I did not grow up for the internet. My first phone was when I was in 7th grade. But growing up with youtube and now a degree holder, I can definitely say that social media affected my ability to "lock in" and focus, and experienced brain rot symptoms myself during pandemic. Now I have a job and am trying to bring back my book loving self back from 5th grade
I have iPad I’m 10 years this might be violent but I watch police brutality (really not appropriate)
Edit: yes I’m too young for that
i didnt have a phone till i was 19 turns out i just dont like books now how to vids ill binge those who cares if i never need to make an engine out of a soda can .
I'm 11 years old but my mom had a phone since 2007 and I had the contact of smartphone since I was 1 month old, I am a nerdy boy in 7th grade but I swear even in class I hate internet fuck it and I'm glad that there is going to be a solar storm in 2025
@@crazy-2023try picking up some non-electronic hobbies, drawing, reading, sports, etc. this will help you develop a life outside of your ipad or phone.
I was enraged learning that 10 year old kids wanted skincare products and Stanley cups during Christmas. I mean for Christs sake, my Gen Z friends and I all wanted toys and nerd things like instruments, posters and more
Me too! As a gen alpha all I want is those electrics testing thingys, while my friends want : skincare, Stanley cup colors, drunk elephant, bubble, all that stuff
Im a older gen alpha , but i litelally dont even want nything for christmas
Even if I still use electronics I still always wanted to buy a Lego set, a hot wheel, or even a Transformer
Fr skincare is such a waste, you have them like 1-2 weeks then gone

“Gen alpha didnt ruin society, but society ruined gen alpha”
-a random comment i found in another video
That's right. I grew up with a computer at home with some programming tools and a handful of games. It's not the screen, it's what's on the screen - low quality spam designed to maximize shareholder value.

Yeah but people never really seem to comprehend that

Yes, one of them is my uncle
It’s not the kids fault tho so don’t hate on them, it’s the fault of the PARENTS not knowing how good parenting works
Parents after a long day of giving their kids an ipad (the child is already addicted to the point of no return)
people who criticize gen alpha aren't blaming them, they're just saying they're doomed (not of their own fault)
@@ShawnJohnson-xo5hnyeah, parents overwork themselves to the extremes to make ends meet and to replace the low family time with their kids, they give them the iPad. They can't really control what their kids view if they don't have time to be with their kids
Parents nowadays are lazy and stupid!
oh fuck
It’s so sad. I remember when I was a kid I had a Leap Frog tablet, but I didn’t cry when I had to take a break from using it. I didn’t get my first phone until I was 14. Everyone else had one way before me. When I was a kid, I’d play with my monster truck toys, the Wii, LEGO, and play outside. Now kids look at their phones or tablets for 8 hours a day and cry over nothing. If I was bad, I got spanked, I got punished, not nowadays though. Thats why I say people now speak “Brain Rot from TikTok”. Great video man!
Ngl its the parents fault
@@joanapatriciamendoza1986 true
As someone who was born in 2013 I never was that addicted to technology most of the time I focus on school. Yes I do get mad whenever I get my phone taken away but I don't start crying and going crazy.
Same but I was born in 2012
same
Same for me to be honest 🙂🙂
You’re either 10 or 11 if you were born 2013. I was born in 2005, and grew up in a mix of the internet and stuff outside the internet. Get off the internet, delete TikTok and things like it. Watch educational stuff on RUclips. Respect your elders, a lot of the times they’re trying to teach you things. Also go outside. Summer is just starting, ride a bike around, go camping, swim, etc. The internet is fine, but keep it as a tool and not your whole life. Enjoy being a kid, it won’t last forever. I’m not much older than you but a lot of those things helped me have a good childhood. Remember to have fun.
Oops sorry I was actually Born in 2009
Gen Alpha is genuinely so worrisome. I hate to see a little girl being worried about makeup and if she has the most recent “trends.” Everything’s being micromanaged by social media, and they can’t have their own opinions without being afraid of being shut down. Really heartbreaking.
The main problem is addiction. What's worrying is the tantrums and breakdowns they have when you take these things from them, even for a bit. In the past, kids used to be somewhat calm, and some even used to fake cries or breakdowns to get what they wanted. But now they're having actual complete breakdowns just by getting their phones taken away. Their phones are their worlds.
it the parents fault too which makes it worse
In my opinion, kids should be worrying about stuff like an upcoming test or homework in school not about the newest trends or drunk elephant.

my screen time was limited/shut off when i was a kid, and while i hated my dad for it at the time, i am SO grateful for it. im a teen, and it disgusts me how my peers act sometimes. in the middle of english, some kids cant read basic words, they cant understand the material we are reading, even though it is VERY basic. the humour is VILE, racist, homophobic, sexist jokes being flung around, slurs are treated as normal and funny, sexual harassment and body shaming is wild. i thought we were progressing as a society, but tiktok brainrot has just ruined it for the younger generations. i might seem like a prude, but i have adhd and i do use social media, so im not special or different, but holy shit, the level its gone is FUCKING INSANE and i am so tired and so worried for my future
Same dude, I'm in my sophomore year of high school and it feels like everyone around me is asleep, especially with geography. People in my glasses cant tell the difference between France and Germany on a map, they don't know Greece is a country, and they cant tell you what language ANY country speaks.
Tired and worried bout playing gp😊
@@Flea-jz7yl
German here, it's the same here in Germany with the Maps and stuff for example. My best friend, which i truly Love because he is just such a nice person can't even find Germany on a map or even tell me, where our capital Berlin is.
Even tho i think over here in Germany and Europe in general it's not as bad as in the USA, because the people and how they think are just way different and because of that, many children here actually go out to play instead of beeing indoors on their iPads all day.
A major factor which impacts this here is that when you perform really poorly in school and are not on a level deemed able to progress to the next class, you get held back and have to repeat that class. And if you should fail this class again you get put into a class where the emphasis lies on teaching children on a extremly basic level.
So that way these really stupid Gen Alpha children have to repeat classes instead of beeing dragged along and staying stupid their entire school life.
(I hope this was kinda understandable, but english is Not my first language so i often make mistakes)
Why would parents give their children devices at such a young age? Like the age of two? The child would grow up addicted to the device handed to him when he was very young.
I’m an Asia kid, and I swear if I ever acted like this I would have been in the grave

Yeah our parents would have murdered us at home if we did this😂😂

asian parents are ridiculously strict with tech but seeing this i think i owe them an apology lol

it is funny that they call it "skincare", when they are doing the opposite. When you are a kid your skin is more sensitive and repeatedly using those products that are not made for them can result in permanent skin damages/problems

I'm 13 years and I never got access to the Internet till COVID but I still was very disciplined with very good grades. So I can safely make the claim there is still hope in this generation. Plus I was doing pushups while watching this.
I’m born in 2011 & the years of Gen Alpha were believed to be classified are 2012-2024, most people embarrassingly say that they are born in 2010 & then to 2025. And Gen Z was to 1997-2012.
And… I… I don’t know what generation am I…
Seeing a kid who's like 8 years old wanting to do skincare scares me, when I was her age, I didn't even know skincare existed.
They are also so healthy. I'm still not a healthy eater. Lol
It also scares me when kids do makeup because they are ruining their skin

The stanley cup thing brought to my mind again the fact that at one point kids got bullied at schools for not having the newest fortnite skins. Crazy and super scary to think about..
Am I lucky? These bullying stories are outlandish as hell. This doesn’t happen at my school.
What’s even crazier is that those people are probably grown adults now considering fortnite released 7 years ago

21:02 Lucas told me that when he was a kid (like 9-10) he got a discord friend, but that one guy was actually a creep. they set up a meeting in discord, and when lucas entered, the guy was passing his hand through his cucumber (if ykyk), made a screenshot and left. in the chat the creep said "i want 1k dollars until next month or im sending the screenshot to ur parents (which were already dead but the guy didnt know), Lucas told him " do it then", and he never saw the creep again, but that did change his personality.
As an older version of gen alpha, almost going to 8th this year, 11:09 SHOOK ME. HOW???? HOW COULD THAT KID NOT KNOW THAT? That’s straight up insane, not to mention I DESPISE skibidi toilet. The screen time for me is just like 1-2 hours and despite that I am still doing good in other things such as studies like being a straight A student. Oh we are so doomed. And misbehaving? Most students in my school of gen alpha are well behaved and disciplined yet there are a few in my class talking back even to the vice principal who can literally kick them out of the school. AND chat gpt, oh how horrible it is. Writing an essay by ourselves shows how much knowledge we have and is WAY better than just not knowing what the topic is even about. Mainly this affect is striking America sadly because here in my area kids are not that insane, mainly it’s just a lil bit of discipline but overall it’s fine, but they should really start using common sense and discipline their kids one way or another, give time to them and watch out for any little imperfections because it might cause the future to get more corrupt and out of hand and this is not a little thing. AND SEPHORA KID OMGAH BRO what is the need for so expensive stuff at SUCH A YOUNG AGE?? It doesn’t make sense. Ridiculous. All they need is just water, soap, and lotion if their skin is dry otherwise is mainly PERFECT they don’t need a single drop of it. I don’t even have a skin care routine and them having literal SKIN OILS I have NEVER heard of is just- wow, not in a good way. If they were older like more in late teens or adults it makes sense why they would have it. AND THE STANLEY CUP WTH DO U NEED THAT FOR?? It’s a WATER BOTTLE. Yet the end of the video makes so much sense. We should make the internet a way better place since it DOES have a huge benefit.
Holy- that’s a long paragraph but pretty reasonable in my eyes.

Great video loving the way you edit your content by the way, it could even keep up with the attention span of a gen alpha kid.
Kids now: cocomelon and skibidi toilets and brainrot stuff...
Me as kid before: *National geographic*
True story
Starwars, Short Circuit, Iron Giant, Star Trek, batteries not included, I was raised on a decent number of movies as a kid but spent as much time playing with Lego or running around with the neighborhood kids playing with Nerf blasters, wishing for robots, and only later playing Lego Island and Flight Sim 2002 on the family desktop, I was a teen already before I got my own PS2 then later a Xbox 360, only got my own personal laptop around 2012 after graduation from high-school when I took up PC gaming and 3D modeling for hobbies.
I feel really bad for these kids who have no connection to the outside world beyond the screen, and with ever more aggressive advertising and "telemetry" (sugar-coated Spyware let's be honest) I'm ready to dump my Android phone and most of the apps that go with it for a Linux Phone just to keep clear of this ever worsening mess
I really miss these days when kids always wanting a toy
aye, for me it was top gear, Spider-Man, and a LOT of hot wheels, good times
I remember long time ago i watched a tv show about monsters, i vaguely remember the name... It was something along the lines of "monsters & mysteries" or something like that...
what scared me most is how quick Coco Melon cuts their scenes.. talk about breeding a short attention span.. WOW 🤯
Indeed. When I think back to old cartoons drawn by hand, how long a single scene took before it changed... One scene may have been about 10 seconds long or longer.
Have you ever even seen a music video lmao? Cutting scenes every 2 - 3 seconds is not crazy bud.
I would not let my kid watch that stupid crap.
@@norhe.Music videos aren't inherently made for children, though. An adult or even a teen could watch lots of music videos and not have their attention span shortened. The demographic for Cocomelon are in their developmental years, thus could develop a short attention span thanks to watching content like this.
kid named short attention span:
Hello, I'm a Gen Z Brazilian. I have a younger sister who is addicted to the Internet and electronic devices. She can barely have a simple conversation with her grandfather. This genuinely scares me. I encourage her to do other things, like read books, play and stimulate her imagination, things that a child should really do, and little by little, it's working.
The best tip I can give is: Don't abruptly take iPads out of your children's hands. This will only stress them out. Try to encourage them to play, pay attention to them. This is what Gen Alpha needs. And please keep an eye on what your children are seeing.
Take care of yourselves and take care of your children too.

Fun fact: Skibidi Toilet was not intended to be kids media, it's just that kids became too obsessed with it. The creator of skibidi toilet used to post mature types content a lot. (containing sex jokes and violence, sometimes racist jokes)
P.S. I used to like this guy a lot. He would make many funny animations based on videogames in the past. I have known him ever since he started his career, now he's just not the same.
Money corrupts. No matter how good he was he must eat and maintain his life. His golden goose means something to him no matter how much destruction the goose causes
I remember his old content too from 6 years ago. I remember when he made fan animations for transformers and made videos that were funny (gta san andreas content)
@lonelyheart002 yeah, he even tried allegedly to copyright half life assets (something he doesnt own) he used in hes videos, some of the people in hes community even act wild when someone doesnt like skibidi toilet or criticize it, greed is real

Bad parenting.
I was born in 2010(just when gen A started) and I feel genuinely sad to be grouped into this group😭😭😭
Those parents need to be more strict and hard with their children, they need to learn their child that if they decide to misbehave so badly that the kids can expect what will happen to them after behaving like that
"skibidi toilet" wouldn't seem as much as an issue to me, but then these kids started legit thinking great games like Half-Life 2 stole these characters. It's stupid enough to create a grudge I have against that brain rot.
WAIT I THOUGHT THAT WAS IRONIC NOOOO
it's pure brain rot
Skibidi toilet sus edits/videos or the cringe videos are the only brainrots tbh its not the series fault cuz its actually good and i am doing very good at my school even tho am watching the series. Its mostly cuz of society inflation so parents dont have much time to parent their children and there u go they will be watching brainless stupid video.
@@Gekox06 Bro. You misspelled nearly every word up there, and have 0 grammar to speak of. So no, you're skibi-fried my man. And i hate to tell you. Its not inflation, its an unwillingness to do so when faced with the responsibility. That is it.
@@Gekox06 Even tho ur doing good stop watching skibidi toilet its still brainrot
This is why I am so grateful my parents didn't just chuck a screen in front of me as a form of keeping me busy when I was younger, what happened to parents actually engaging with their children? Even though Im a gen z and Im not a well educated adult just yet, I think its common sense that children need parents communication in order to grow and function as kids, things an Ipad cant do.
Me too, honestly.
YES! my parents would give me sticker books or interactive toys. it’s so shocking to me that parents just rely on technology now.

While I was partially raised by TV and the internet (although I still played with toys and went outside) and have diagnosed ADHD and other mental disorders, I have read on a college level since I was 12 and have excelled in English my whole life, I have always done really well in school, I am skilled in many arts and trades, I have a high IQ, I have a detailed knowledge of history and can tell you in detail about World War 2 and the history of art and film, I am skilled in media literacy, I’m a media collector (DVDs, VHS, CDs, etc.), I’m learning music, and I have basic knowledge in speaking Haitian Creole, German (my primary language of study), Klingon, and Spanish. Now, I am not saying this to flex, because I genuinely do wonder how, as someone who was, again, partially raised by the internet and TV, and did not as much guidance as others, and as someone with ADHD and other neurological disorders, I wonder how I manage to excel better than some of my peers. Do I feel superior to those who don’t excel as well as me? No, because I genuinely do wonder what it is that has happened to me or what I have done to make it so I have excelled better than others. To put it into more perspective, my ADHD would occasionally become a road block, so much so I would occasionally cry in the bathroom out of stress because sometimes struggle to read due to my jumbles of thoughts, and I struggle staying still and will often leave class just to walk around the hallways. I do genuinely wonder what it is that’s so different with me that, despite everything, I’m considered gifted and a few notches below being a genius?
Edit: Coming back to this, it might just be because I likely have Asperger’s/ASD and/or OCD. :P

As a gen alpha myself, I couldn’t thank you more for making this video. It hurts me more than anything to see my 9 year old little brother obsessed with his iPad, and not knowing how to spell or read simply words, and what hurts me more is that I told my parents about it and they did nothing to help. The chat gpt is also so relatable, it’s so unfair how some kids are just cheating off chat gpt and getting all the attention for ´doing their homework and putting extra effort’
First step at solving a problem: Recognizing there is a problem.
Show your parents videos like this so they help your little brother.
You may as well use ChatGPT to cheat as well. That’s what I’m doing.
Im also part of gen alpha and I am at 8th grade to 9th grade and I feel bad for your 9 yr old brother. He might be doomed but it is not too late. I reccomend helping him if possible or as hard as you can and to try to set examples or show to your parents to make them eventually realize the situation.
Example:
1. Show his grades
2. When he keeps throwing tantrums set it as an example for them to realize that he has been given everything at birth without supervision realizing that is why he keeps doing it
3. What could happen to him in the future
4. Show them his watching history
5. Just keep bringing up examples and situations
Once parents will realize and do something about it, he will be throwing more tantrums when supervised and monitored. Even if that happens DONT EVER GIVE INTO IT. In addition, try to entertain him as much as possible or find other ways to do it, it will help on the tablet part.
i dont even know if my little brother is gonna even have a future

The fact that little kids now care about skincare and the most i do for skincare is soap is crazy
When I was younger my mom would tell me I had to be bored, I'm now 16, I get paid for art and I'm starting an internship with birds. I developed multiple passions when I was younger. I really hope parents change their habits of raising their kids on the internet, and let their children be bored.
My mom said this too!
So.. the birds finally beat us. Well I welcome our new avian overlords

The Australians were already beaten by birds.
i cant believe 16 year olds are born in 2008….
As a gen z I didn't realize how hooked I was on screens until I went to join the army and go through basic. 2 months without screens really shows you just how many good effects can come from letting yourself be bored. I wish more people knew that being bored is okay and it's actually good for you to reflect on your life experiences. Rather than having time fly by and life feel like a faded dream.
W comment this is true
What do you even do outside if your an introvert seriously there's really nothing much to do outside
@@Eggeer I was also introverted at one point. The way I mostly got over it is I like to think of the whole social battery thing as a muscle instead, like you have to exercise it past what you're comfortable with to get better at being talkative. It's a slow process but you reap what you sow with it. I started by playing games like rec room where I didn't need to be there and I could leave whenever I wanted and then moved up to like making plans with friends and just trying to be more outgoing. Just be patient with yourself, also I know what you mean there's nowhere to really go to meet new people except online. I got kinda lucky because being in the army forces me to be around people all the time and my introversion is pretty much gone at this point lol. Ik that was long winded but I hope you got something from it :)
@@Eggeergo for walks to some interesting places
@@EggeerBowling. Fishing. Going out. Doing things. Maybe watching a good movie in a cinema. Maybe going to a buffet with a loved one. Taking a stroll in the park. Should I go on? I feel like there are several other things I can list.
In my family, there are 4 kids none of them are as bad as those kids. They are in the middle of gen Alpha.
That's because of right parenting with very good parenting tools. No RUclips installed on their devices and not being able to install Apps themselves! Also limiting the daily Usage of the Tablet and forcing them to do things without a tablet. Real hobbies like swimming, skating or sports

if they are 8th graders, do they even count as gen a?
Yes 2010 and up is Gen A
no gen a starts 2012. this video had a few errors. 8ths graders are the tail end of gen z. the oldest gen a is 6th grade.
Nah, 8th is a case by case.
I'm in 8th, and I know more about how the world works (literally just like politics and crap,) so I consider myself Z.
My friends act the same, also Z.
But then there's kids unironically using brainrot words, so I consider them Gen Alpha.
7th and below though is just Alpha, and 9th and up is just Z.

Bro im like you
i was born 4 years after u and i only have yt and tiktok- NEVER going on insta since ik the comments on reels-
Me too brother but I was born in 2011
As the first of all gen alpha(I was born in 2010), I’m very worried about video addiction and popcorn brain. I know all these problems but I’m also being succumbed into these… it’s a very frustrating experience and I have my duty to warn for the next generation.
As Gen Alpha, at least here in Panama (or atleast in my school) we are doing pretty well! At least we're *some* getting good grades, in my case as a natural Spanish speaker, rn I got a 4.8 avarage in English (here is from 0.0 to 5.0 the avarage).
As a 2003 kid, I'm greatful I didn't even have a phone until high school... And I grew up with Little Big Planet and even I can say "Wait, I think giving toddlers tablets is a HORRIBLE idea!"
R-I-P Little Big Planet 😢
omg LBP 🥹 i'm so glad that's what i/we grew up with
heres the thing tho. im borderline gen alpha (first week of 2011, aka late gen z from some sources and early alpha from others), and at least i know how to spell grateful.
I also grew up with LittleBigPlanet too, this is the best game i ever played and it gives me the power of creativity :)
im a 2012 and i watch veggietales, i dont have a phone yet and i just use a second hand chromebook that my mom used to use aha
The reason why I think this generation is ruined is because the parents are enablers and they are heavily influenced by the internet by a young age. For those who don’t know what enabler means is, (the art of enabling kids to do negative and cruel behaviors of their kind.)
Oof that's messed up
when its the kids of the millenials, that it must be the younger part of millenials, if you were born before 1990, then its unlikly, that you were influenced by the internet at a young age
As a gen alpha it's not the parent's fault when they needa break they're gonna give the kid a iPad or something and when I was a toddler or something my parents gave me a iPad I was chilling in my bed.
honestly im born in 2010 and i dont really like being on the phone too much.
going out to the pool or hanging out with friends is much better than watching some random person on yt.
Tbh I was born in 2013 and I always play in one and I usually throw a tantrum when it was taken away but now kinda like to go outside to play or just watch my tablet
im gonna teach my son to watch videos like what is dropshipping?,what is trading?,and anything from vsauce
As someone born in the gap of gen Z and gen Alpha (‘Zalpha’ as i call it-) it terrifies me how close i could have been to an I pad kid-
Kids need to play outside. They see the world more, their immune system becomes stronger, they spend more time with friends and family, their imagination gets explored, and they get their exercise through play. Some TV time can be fine but not all the time, and parents must be present to see what they are watching.
Ohh, that's true! But, it's too late for children who use their iPads or smartphones and watch RUclips videos or TikTok. :(
tbh, I am able to balance both, no screens during the week and I have basketball practice every day for an hour and a half
yeah, my friends barley go outside with me to hangout so I try to get them to go outside to hangout, its so frustrating when they go back onto their phone at the park or somewhere
mine let me play ps2 gta sa 1.0 in all it's glory, gta 4, every gta in fact we could get. manhunt, adult swim, south park. even prototype bloody game, we didn't care back then it was all gaming fun old times. 9/10 times i knew what shows existed back when i was small.
How am I supposed to go outside if there is no where to play ? Where I live it’s just a road , a bunch of trash , like nowhere to play , at least my parents don’t let me go outside
Remember when our parents told us to not stare at the screen for too long, and yelled the hell out of us when we tried to act up? they were right
I defininetly agree😂😂those were some times...
Yup. It's not just the screens though, it's the content they're absorbing. Unnatural colours, fast paced scene changes and non-naturao audio. It basically triggers children's fight or flight response and develops ADHD in this kids.
hehehe I recall this. Good times!
Except these parents are putting the iPad in front of their kids
…This is very bad for Generation Alpha.
even as a Gen Alpha, this generation, i can say.. Is. Doomed
whats the background music that starts at 16:00 ? ive heard it in a lot of videos but none of them ever link the music in the description or reply to my comment asking about it.

@alepander4698 what's wrong with the word "blud"
@digitaldissapointment This obviously doesn't apply to EVERYONE, but the point still stands that the majority of Generation Alpha across the world acts like this.
Not only that, but since you're saying that you can talk in both gen Alpha and gen Z, I can infer that you probably aren't even completely gen Alpha. You might have been born on 2010-2015 like me, I was born in 2011, but I certainly don't act like a gen Alpha kid.
Range for Gen Z:1997-2012
Range for Gen Alpha:2010-2024
It is debatable whether one can still be considered part of gen Z even if the individual is still part of the year range on gen Alpha, as long as they don't act like brainrotted idiots.
gen-z and millenials should learn from others, themselves, and history this is very vital so as not to destroy our civilization. better shape the young best possible. it also includes pain. stay real. moral values are important that's what kids need the most
As I was pressured as a kid, I am happy that I don't get addicted to Ipads😙 but I have been always alone in my class and I hate my dumb class mates😔
I feel really sorry for these children. Imagine getting addicted and dependant on a piece of entertainment technology (Ipad) from such a young age, being frequently exposed to things you're far too young for and being unable to properly learn or independently think. It sounds like the plot of a dystopian horror movie, but that's what's happening right now.
I am from gen-z and first got a phone when i was 9. I was always very sensitive to being overstimulated which caused me to entirely avoid content like this because i found it unbearable. Nowadays i know this to have been a blessing. I still use almost no social media and am highly diskliking of short-form content.
SO SORRY BUT KEATCY PFP
wait i think i’ve seen u b4
TBH, I am one of the oldest Gen Alpha kids there can be (2011), and I hate how addicted some people can get, when I was younger if my parents told me to get off I would say can I finish the video game or can I finish this episode if they said yes I would finish it, if they said no I would get off. My parents taught me to not fight back, also I will admit I play video games a good amount, I can play around 2-4 hours on the weekends and friday and wednesday I can play 2 hours, other than that I cann't play video games. also for social media my. parents only let me on RUclips no Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, and any other socials. I only get a youtube channel I hate living in this generation because there are some addicted kids and I want people to stop labeling me in Gen Alpha it sucks and I can't change it. Have a great day

Now I’ve read ur comment honestly same. I hate short content sm even if the contents topic is what I like. For the past few weeks its been bothering me like crazy, so has other things like those TADC brain rot videos (every time i think of TADC my head hurts, sorry.) and YT shorts *a lot* and knowing that THIS is what a whole generations content is like I feel bad for them like ik some of the videos we (referring to gen z) watched were also sort of brain rotted but i don’t remember there being a vomit of oversaturated colour, tons of sounds and stuff going. I don’t even think “brain rot” can be used as a joke anymore I literally think this is brain rot, I’m concerned.
I'm 16, and I am so happy I didn't get a device until I turned 13, kept me just above the complete addict line, most majorly I never got into social media, and theat def saved my sanity quite a bit.
you definitely have great parents, good on ya😉👍
I had a device when I was 4, years old and I'm pretty much doing good rn.
Turning 18 this summer I first played on a computer with my father around 7 years of age and Iam pretty normal. I think it is lot about how your parents handle this stuff. Like I was not able to play all days long but I had a device pretty early and I had great time playing with my dad.
I am 16 and when growing up I was on screens however I always balanced my time on the screen with other activities in the real world though involuntary when I was younger(little fights over it) to it being voluntary now. So I'm glad I didn't fall into any brain rot content when online
@@Daquacklolyeah right
As a late Gen Z (2010) I think it is their parents' fault. If you really cared about your children not being addicted to a literal screen, then don't give a phone to him at, like, 2 years old next time.
I live next a park. It's literally in front of my house and it used to be extremely frequented less than a decade ago. There were even zones of the park without grass on the ground due to all the kids that used to sit on the bench, or just play football and used two trees as a football goal. I've noticed that there is no one left, even if Ik there are still kids in my town, and by walking in the park I've noticed that the traces of our old interaction on the ground were not there. Grass grew again and that made me very sad.
Newborn kids don't even know what touching the grass or dirt really is.
Yknow, the plot for the movie "Idiocracy" is becoming more and more plausible each year.
Basically the dude gets sent to the year 2500 and everyone has become idiots because of reasons similar to this
Hopefully even if we get stupider with each generation there'll be a chance for redemption seeing how many human accomplishments, information, wisdom and reasonings have been archived in history, it'll probably be a role model of sorts for the future
Idiocracy is slowly becoming reality unfortunately
The movie is an impossibility in the real world though since people would need to reproduce in order to make it to 2500 and birthrates across the world are plummetting.
yeah I don't think the plot of "idiocracy" will ever happen in China because of their government build an internet firewall and use extreme tactics to prevent their kids to become dumber
this includes the novel fahrenheit 451, especially the character mildred has attributed to this anticipation
My little niece is Gen Alpha, when I took her iPad she let all hell break loose. I corrected her behavior to the fact my sister wanted me to teach her how to raise her own children, it's sad how an adult who was raised in a later generation asks a young kid how to take care of another.
What you said reminds me of what I seen a few months ago. I was at the doctor waiting on medication and I was sat in the waiting room. A mother with her two kids came in, two girls one must've been 7, the other maybe 5. Anyways the oldest of them was screaming for her IPad while the youngest was just running around the waiting room having a good time. So I was in this waiting room for an hour and for 30mins straight the eldest wouldn't stfu screaming a tantrum so her mother got her IPad from the car and she fell silent. Absolutely horrifying to witness, it made me feel sick that one day these kids are gonna be grown up one day and when they are Gen Z, Gen Alpha are gonna be what kills humanity as we know it.

Im Gen X, (1975) my son's are Alphas (2010 and 2011) if you were a lazy parent, your children were raised on tablets, computers, you tube etc. My boys first time ever on computers using WiFi was during that covid bullshit when we were forced to.

As a former meth addict and sober for 3 years now. I want to say, these are all the signs of addiction. The materialism, the attention spans, the zombification, everything. These kids will grow up treating their friends and family like things instead of human beings. They'll leech off of people to get what they want and take advantage. As long as you have the stuff, they'll stick around. If you don't, then its goodbye. The zombification is the high feeling. You're either super energetic and wild, or so mellow you have no idea what else is going on around you. Addicted to material things is like meth, you're excited and you can't stop, you're relaxed though it gets you doing things 24/7 for an entire week with no sleep to a point where it effects your life negatively. The ipads is like hero!n, you're entranced and asleep. The attention spans and even can lead to short term memory and forgetfulness, is the outcome of doing too much. It's the exact same, and when you throw these kids out on the street, they'll be very easy consumer targets for drug cartels and dealers, because they already have the mentality. You would need to restrict the entire internet until the person is like 16-21. That's only way you get kids to stop. Maybe even more parenting classes made for people, and maybe even government funded which then we'll definitely be getting closer to how Japan is with their whole government funded social events just to get people to frikin breed. Btw, its a real thing. I seen two customers today at work with kids and ipads. It had like a literal purple handle on top, and purple frame, fit for a kid. And one kid looked like she was dressed like a literal w*re. A pound of makeup, and was ordering food for her mom. And of course her pink ipad. She looked like a Patrice Wilson victim. Oh and btw, F* Apple..

I’m a gen alpha who was born in 2013, and the early gen alpha’s are normal. It’s just the 6 year old ipad kids who’re stupid af and can’t survive without a phone in their hand for a minute.
Bruh I’m part of gen alpha and I gotta say I’m kinda disappointed about this because some of my best memories were in science camp without any electronics and I enjoy sports and many other activities that don’t take a electronic.
That's wild. I'm a 2005 Gen Z, but I remember having such a humble childhood just wanting to draw all the time or play wii sports. Even though Gen Z does have a ton of issues, I feel like this generation will come together, see what is happening with Gen Alpha and make sure that when Gen Beta (Gen Z's kids) are born, they'll be raised better.
The internet makes it worse .... but the core is parents spend little time with their kids
This is true,parents should not just leave their kids with ipads,they will find the most brain rotting,over stimulating and straight up stupid videos that will reduse their remaining braincells to ash
This is why I do not want children.
And today's economy is responsible for most of that, which sucks. Parents both need to work, maternity leaves are short and paternity leaves are rare (and neither are guaranteed!), it's hard to afford living so ya gotta work hard, people are stressed and tired and don't have the bandwith left at the end of the day to do much with their kids. Not to mention socializing with other kids doesn't happen when you live in a concrete jungle and anyone letting their kids outside alone can get CPS called on them. It all sucks.
It's funny because it's not just Generation Alpha. Every older person I know is obsessed with their phone and social media as well, but no one can put limits on adults in the same way. If you were to take the phone away from 90% of adult users they would throw a fit too and these kids can't even regulate their emotions. The stigma this generation gets BECAUSE OF OTHER GENERATIONS TEACHINGS is wild to me. We all need to do better.
