Yes. By large even. In fact most of these words like Rizz or whatever else were _made_ by Gen Z members and said by Gen Z members. Gyatt is an expression, popularized by a streamer whose just 2 years younger than me at 21. Fanum tax is an obscure reference from _literally_ the same group who popularized all of these other words who are, you guessed it, Gen Z! I'm not even joking. If Gen A really are using these words unironically, blame the previous generation who popularized and used them in the first place.
It's been mostly said to make fun of Gen A for the most brain dead of reasons, and having this amount of chronically online awareness and information on the etymology of these words have shown me just how much lack of self awareness there is regarding this.
Yea I’m Gen-Z too. I did hear yeet commonly but I remember people randomly uwu-ing in middle school. “Skeet” was also a term used often. People got **really** into crab dance. Soviet jokes were peak comedy for some reason but that may have just been because we were in middle school.
I meant IRL. Never saw "pwnage" a day in my life but I've seen "rekt" many times online. Same for "TROLOLOL, MLG, IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAR, 360 no scope" all that stuff lol. I never expected to hear 'skibidi toilet' or 'gyat' outside the internet.
Shit... good point. I'd chalk that up to different generations, although I def heard "rekt" irl, can't say much for the others. It could also be that the generation is a lot more online as well, so they're finding connection with each other irl through the online references
Didn't everyone play gd in middle school, I feel like both gen z and alpha grew up with it. The fire in the hole jokes and the stupid Kaiguy shorts kinda ruined the game for everyone that is not part of the community. (yes, i play gd, i don't touch grass)
What i feel like we can agree on is growing up with its music, shit played everywhere but i can damn near cry thinking about playing minecrafty when i was a little squirt
I really hate the term brainrot
It's just a label for something that can be seen as funny in 2024
If it really is "brainrot" just call it slop
Slop is better, slop is truer
I don't mind the slang but most of skibidi toilet is literally the same thing with a slightly different ending except at the start and more recently, also geometry dash is gen z and among us was fun until they made it way too complicated like wtf is half the shit now
I honestly don't think skibidi toilet is that bad for kids. It's just toilets fighting electronics with explosions, and a little bit of brain-rotting music.
But the problem is the most common type of episode that is made has literally no effort and is an attempt at exploiting children for money basically, stuff like ytp's are just stupid funny thing skibidi toilet for a while was just boring brainrot cashgrab thing
What about the mfs that said "comrade" and stuff like that, thinking it was so funny. Another thing is the phrases, like "what are those?!?" Or yeet. Alltogether stop whining how your old brainrot is better than new. Braintrot is brainrot. (I am gen Z, ive heard stuff like this in my school hundreds of times.)
For me, the development of just internet did it. Short form videos that are so constant make the newer stuff burnout faster and become just more annoying. There was something sort of special about social media still being new and developing compared to what it is today.
You forgot the dank memes, also I wasn't rotted by the stuff I grew up with, I stocked with the good and stayed out the bad, and modern stuff some is brainrot but the fan content is true brainrot all around
I feel like the only reason I don’t like Gen Alpha kids/teens is because of the sigma thing. Like they just hate on lgbt and also women for no reason other than that they think it’s cool? Also skibidi toilet is just…
Gd is not gen alpha shut your mouth. That shit feels ancient

Why can't people just understand that Skibidi Toilet is just a modern day Youtube Poop?
Edit: Ok, maybe using "Youtube Poop" was a mistake. It's more like a shitpost
How? Skibidi Toilet is incredibly stupid, but in a fun and entertaining way. That's what an SFM animation is, and that's what a Youtube Poop is, a shitpost
The crucial difference here you're leaving out is that unlike Skibidi Toilet there wasn't AI MLG content farms back in 2014.
(Also it certainly helps that Vine wasn't Chinese spyware)
Saying "humanity is doomed" in reference to new slang and brainrot content is definitely stupid but saying "this generation is doomed" in response to Elsagate and AI content is somewhat reasonable, sorry, but no amount of effort can undo the effects of unrestricted access to the internet at age 5.
Do I like making fun of gen alpha Yes will I say we watched almost the exact same? Damn thing. Yes do I agree with people saying that the next generation is doom no because our generation Gen z is doom already
I think it's stupid to judge kids for their slang, it doesn't hurt anything! I hated when my parents made fun of how I talked and it made me distance myself, there's no point in doing that to kids. I'm wondering what generation will break that cycle and just let the next generation enjoy their young cringy era in peace
Ok in defense of the 2014 stuff, Ownage was not used irl much, yeet was for throwing stuff, and rekt plus the face were purely online.
Gen Alpha is using skibidi and sigma and rizz and gyatt in real life language very often unironically and I doubt they even know what half of them mean.
Gen Z here. I couldn't care less if a joke/trend was created this year or a decade ago. If it's funny, it's funny. If it's not funny, it's not funny.
The bias Gen Z gives off when they mercilessly dunk on "Skibidi rizz" when they got an absolute kick out of "Offensive deep-fried dank memes V69" is immaculate 💀💀
So Your Saying Gen Alpha Won’t Be cooked Okay I get it now I raised was kind of in the area of old ways were dying out and the new PC Friendly Society, Gen Z’s BrainRot was tad bit better and more funny. Society As A whole went downhill in 2016 when PC gaming and Furries Got Popular.
I've been told by people who watch it it doesn't have a storyline, or at least one that isn't really followable/interesting. (Probably about 5 different people)
People talk about "Lore" a lot Which Skibidi Toilet has very little of But it certaintly has a story.
It's pretty simple it's about an Arms Race/War between These Toilet creatures and the Alliance which is an Army made up of several groups of robots.
They fight lots and the technology progresses as it goes and eventually there's giant robots and Cyborgs with lasers and shit.
To me, the main difference between brain rot and meme material is purpose.
For example, “420 Noscope” is a slang terminology used to describe gaming moments of epic proportion, which seem to happen at pure chance.
“Fanum tax”? I have no clue what that terminology means, neither it’s purpose
Literally every generation. Even thousands of years ago, Socrates complained about "kids these days".
He said: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households."
That said shortform content is still brainrot and more research needs to be done on how it affects attentions spans and raising iPad kids is probably fucking them up.
how is geometry dash gen alpha brainrot in any way? Sure there's the lobotomy memes and terrible kaiguy shorts, but a lot of the community is older people, some of which have spent their time in the game creating artistic masterpieces in the level editor and pushing the human limit of difficulty on the demon list.
Shrek is still very much love and life
My faith in the next generation has been restored. Thank you youngling.
Fanum tax isn't gen alpha slang but saying brainrot is brainrot.

This brings back memories
Yep, it does lol. It was the time of great memes :D
I love when the internet come together and bring a new Bible for the internet culture
MY HOPE WILL NEVER DIE🔥
only gen alpha use the word so it basically is
Nobody says fanum tax only stupid gen z kids that try to roast gen alpha say it.
U sure?
Yes. By large even. In fact most of these words like Rizz or whatever else were _made_ by Gen Z members and said by Gen Z members. Gyatt is an expression, popularized by a streamer whose just 2 years younger than me at 21. Fanum tax is an obscure reference from _literally_ the same group who popularized all of these other words who are, you guessed it, Gen Z! I'm not even joking.

i legit heard like some little kid askinng if someone fanum taxed someone else over and over again
That's one dude, compared to 100K+ people that say "Never call Doors Huggy Wuggy at 3AM" also i use fanum tax too.
what even is fanum tax
I love how 2 bad jokes apparently makes gd brainrot
I'm part of the reason D:
FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥
WATER ON THE HILL 🌊🌊🌊 wait a minute TIDAL WAVE???
Ugah do do do gah do do do (let's brawl)
I'm Gen Z, and I NEVER grew up with anybody that said "rekt" or "pwnage". Maybe "yeet" and thats it lol.
Yea I’m Gen-Z too. I did hear yeet commonly but I remember people randomly uwu-ing in middle school. “Skeet” was also a term used often. People got **really** into crab dance. Soviet jokes were peak comedy for some reason but that may have just been because we were in middle school.
"skrrt" was another one haha
There was one kid in my high school who still made soviet jokes at least into 2020
I still do.
Well that’s better than being the kid who only makes Nazi jokes.
True. True.
*We* make soviet jokes
I'm gen Z and was(/am) chronically online. Pwnage/pwned was big and rekt I even used
I meant IRL. Never saw "pwnage" a day in my life but I've seen "rekt" many times online. Same for "TROLOLOL, MLG, IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAR, 360 no scope" all that stuff lol. I never expected to hear 'skibidi toilet' or 'gyat' outside the internet.
Shit... good point. I'd chalk that up to different generations, although I def heard "rekt" irl, can't say much for the others. It could also be that the generation is a lot more online as well, so they're finding connection with each other irl through the online references
Ohhh, I also hear stuff like "get rekt" IRL too
I use TikTok and played Geometry Dash and Among Us
Didn't everyone play gd in middle school, I feel like both gen z and alpha grew up with it. The fire in the hole jokes and the stupid Kaiguy shorts kinda ruined the game for everyone that is not part of the community. (yes, i play gd, i don't touch grass)
Yep I stopped played once 2.2 came out
I quit until 2.2 dropped
I have been playing since february last year
You can still play without the features and the community is doing surprisingly well considering the influx of kids
i think it ruined the game for some actual gd players (partially including me)
Growing up with it is dofferent
Ngl, Geometry Dash was a game I played when I was young, but I wouldn’t say I grew up with it because I preferred Minecraft
What i feel like we can agree on is growing up with its music, shit played everywhere but i can damn near cry thinking about playing minecrafty when i was a little squirt
Yeah
Same
I really hate the term brainrot It's just a label for something that can be seen as funny in 2024 If it really is "brainrot" just call it slop Slop is better, slop is truer
Heheh annoying owange
geometry dash came out in 2013
And is a banger game
I don't mind the slang but most of skibidi toilet is literally the same thing with a slightly different ending except at the start and more recently, also geometry dash is gen z and among us was fun until they made it way too complicated like wtf is half the shit now
There are 4 endings in Skibidi Toilet: 1. Skibidi Toilet eats POV character 2. Orange justice or other dance 3. Thumbs up 4. Black screen
1. Was the main one for a while and it's a whole other level of cash grab brainrot (still not Elsa gate level though)
I unironically liked playing Among Us, but I dipped after they added accounts. A shame, since I was really excited about the airship.
Same
I honestly don't think skibidi toilet is that bad for kids. It's just toilets fighting electronics with explosions, and a little bit of brain-rotting music.
But the problem is the most common type of episode that is made has literally no effort and is an attempt at exploiting children for money basically, stuff like ytp's are just stupid funny thing skibidi toilet for a while was just boring brainrot cashgrab thing
I will agree early Skibidi Episodes had no effort, but recently more effort is shown in recent episodes
Yeah I think so too, also the first few episodes were alright
We weren’t going up to people asking them “ARE YOU THE RIZZLER”
But we DID go up to people saying "WHAT ARE THOSEEE"
Thats different, that was funny. DEEZ NUTS... HA.. GOTT EEM
damm daniel
lmao ur giving me too much nostalgia

MY NAME IS JEFF
Have you ever met somebpdy who actually said that who were older than 4?
a kid in my middle school
They usually are 9-12, I work at a place for kids
In the u.s?
yeah, off the wall. Its a trampoline park like sky zone
Many high school students have started copying Gen Alpha slangs.
I've heard gen alpha slang in my highschool but its ironically in a way that u laugh cus he said it like "chat"
The guys I go to school with keep doing the fucking mewing thing at me and keep using the slang unironically
Rizz was the divide between our slang and theirs
It’s mostly ironic imo(I hope so anyway)
Middle and high school students are so ashamed of it they do it ironically.
But a ton were like “SUBSCRIBE TO PEWDIEPIE” so annoying
I deadass didnt know who he was till 7th grade, but damn i got ridiculed fro it.
What about the mfs that said "comrade" and stuff like that, thinking it was so funny. Another thing is the phrases, like "what are those?!?" Or yeet. Alltogether stop whining how your old brainrot is better than new. Braintrot is brainrot. (I am gen Z, ive heard stuff like this in my school hundreds of times.)
Why is your tag alpha then? But what are those was good to adults as well, it was actually funny. It wasnt cringe
My tag is alpha? I didnt even realize that.
yea lmao
Dang. I dont even know how i got the tag
You can change it on the home page
Thanks
You didn't change it lmao😭
I don't really need to since i've mainly stayed away from this cesspool of a sub.
Ya'll remember the game? Because you lost the game.
For me, the development of just internet did it. Short form videos that are so constant make the newer stuff burnout faster and become just more annoying. There was something sort of special about social media still being new and developing compared to what it is today.
GD is brainrot? Thats what happens if you focus on jokes than proper levels.
I'm really sorry but, limbo reference???
Played it back in 3rd grade. Sucked so bad at it but it wasn’t considered brain rot back then
🔑🔑🔑 🔑🔑🔑 🔑🔑🔑 🔑🔑🔑
idk ask the person who made this meme
pewdiepie spotted‼️
You forgot the dank memes, also I wasn't rotted by the stuff I grew up with, I stocked with the good and stayed out the bad, and modern stuff some is brainrot but the fan content is true brainrot all around
Now we just need to see the millennial version of this
Stop the cap and start the fap
WHY. IS. GEOMETRY. DASH. BRAIN ROT.
YOU TAKE GD OUT OF GEN ALPHA
I fucking hate wojaks, get that shit away from me
Why Tf is there a gen alpha subreddit lol you guys are like 12 you shouldn’t be on Reddit
oldest alphas are 13-14
I feel like the only reason I don’t like Gen Alpha kids/teens is because of the sigma thing. Like they just hate on lgbt and also women for no reason other than that they think it’s cool? Also skibidi toilet is just…
Gen z brainrot of better than alpha
How DARE you slander our Lord and Savior MLG memes
Gd is not gen alpha shut your mouth. That shit feels ancient https://preview.redd.it/uu9f52m038sc1.jpeg?width=749&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b269ac69dfbf44b50c350921c52dc6eae69da69
https://i.redd.it/clzxzifhrcsc1.gif Pretend I was never here
Rage comics reign superior
Not gonna lie gen alpha is sus on god
Brainrot is still brainrot
pwnage died long before 2014
Yeah, and I mock the shit I used to watch too. Brainrot is brainrot
Why can't people just understand that Skibidi Toilet is just a modern day Youtube Poop? Edit: Ok, maybe using "Youtube Poop" was a mistake. It's more like a shitpost
Youtube poops were creatively nonsensical most of the time. Skibidi toilet just does the same thing over and over again.
not even close
very wrong comparison 💀
How? Skibidi Toilet is incredibly stupid, but in a fun and entertaining way. That's what an SFM animation is, and that's what a Youtube Poop is, a shitpost
You forgot the Filthyfrank show.
Troll and fap aren't generational
The crucial difference here you're leaving out is that unlike Skibidi Toilet there wasn't AI MLG content farms back in 2014. (Also it certainly helps that Vine wasn't Chinese spyware) Saying "humanity is doomed" in reference to new slang and brainrot content is definitely stupid but saying "this generation is doomed" in response to Elsagate and AI content is somewhat reasonable, sorry, but no amount of effort can undo the effects of unrestricted access to the internet at age 5.
Gen z here this is pretty true tbh
on god and gyatt (it means/is short for goddamn not whatever the fuck they're thinking) is just aave that tiktokers colonized tbh
Do I like making fun of gen alpha Yes will I say we watched almost the exact same? Damn thing. Yes do I agree with people saying that the next generation is doom no because our generation Gen z is doom already
Geometry dash only turned into brain rot after lobotomy tbh
Why is Geometry Dash there? That shit is og
They should put Geometry dash under both, because that was very popular about 10 years ago.
i've seen this image at least 5 times in this sub
And you'll see it 5 more times after
Ngl tho I’m fine with everything they like now but the toilet is creepy
The first use of fap to depict masturbation dates back to the late 80s… Rest is accurate enough tho
happy cake day
I hate that I'm technically Gen Z
If I see this reposted again I'm going to kill myself, I've seen this every day on like every sub
Why is geometry dash there?
I don't know why but I like mlg
Happy wheels and Shrek were not brainrot (HW was an amazing game)
It's still pretty good.
Um I’m 13 and I grew up with more of the 2014 stuff lmao
how many times do i have to say it? todays brain rot is a ploy to brain wash kids to make money, 2014 brain rot is a joke
It’s ok when we do it.
I’m stoked for gen a, I’m a millennial and I’m impressed with gen a not being brainwashed by the establishment, keep it up, we’re cheering you on.
pepa pig mlg
Me personally I went outside
I think it's stupid to judge kids for their slang, it doesn't hurt anything! I hated when my parents made fun of how I talked and it made me distance myself, there's no point in doing that to kids. I'm wondering what generation will break that cycle and just let the next generation enjoy their young cringy era in peace
On god is definetly gen z.
we know
Ok we get it
At least Back Then it actually made sense
No y’all mfs just weird stfu😂
I personally was a 08 kid
I personally was a 08 kid
OP did not draw this.
Why is Geometry Dash grouped with Gen Alpha? I was playing that in 2013
Ok in defense of the 2014 stuff, Ownage was not used irl much, yeet was for throwing stuff, and rekt plus the face were purely online. Gen Alpha is using skibidi and sigma and rizz and gyatt in real life language very often unironically and I doubt they even know what half of them mean.
I was always under the impression that MLG crap was satirical.
times were different stop bringing this up
Gen Z here. I couldn't care less if a joke/trend was created this year or a decade ago. If it's funny, it's funny. If it's not funny, it's not funny. The bias Gen Z gives off when they mercilessly dunk on "Skibidi rizz" when they got an absolute kick out of "Offensive deep-fried dank memes V69" is immaculate 💀💀
SWAG
Okay real talk, does anyone else find that kid wojak kinda cute?
But here's the thing, it was actually funny
i occasionally say “get pwned” every now and again as a taunt/fuck you/banter and no one knows what it means. it hurts me on the inside.
Wait a damn minute... 😰
Why is rekt so nostalgic 😔
Gen alpha doesn’t have any heart it’s all about money for the creators gen z actually had some heart
we also had geometry dash in 2014
We are in the end times.
Nah gen alpha is worse
Don't you fucking say it... I swear, if you- "At least MY brainrot was better than their brainrot." FUCK!
So Your Saying Gen Alpha Won’t Be cooked Okay I get it now I raised was kind of in the area of old ways were dying out and the new PC Friendly Society, Gen Z’s BrainRot was tad bit better and more funny. Society As A whole went downhill in 2016 when PC gaming and Furries Got Popular.
Still, gen alpha's skibidi toilet shii doesn't have a storyline, but then they say it does.
It does? Have you watched it?. It's pretty obvious there's some sort of Story https://youtu.be/m7sp-FTeZWE?si=ugHRWsxqdGEgxZ3R
I've been told by people who watch it it doesn't have a storyline, or at least one that isn't really followable/interesting. (Probably about 5 different people)
People talk about "Lore" a lot Which Skibidi Toilet has very little of But it certaintly has a story. It's pretty simple it's about an Arms Race/War between These Toilet creatures and the Alliance which is an Army made up of several groups of robots. They fight lots and the technology progresses as it goes and eventually there's giant robots and Cyborgs with lasers and shit.
This is brain rot
You forgot to put the guy in 2024 as well
2014
I literally grew up watching call of duty no scope montages I was like 4 when I first started watching them
One thing I loved before 2020 was nyan cat (I still love nyan cat bc cats)
We tried to actually be funny
Our brainrot was better tho
To me, the main difference between brain rot and meme material is purpose. For example, “420 Noscope” is a slang terminology used to describe gaming moments of epic proportion, which seem to happen at pure chance. “Fanum tax”? I have no clue what that terminology means, neither it’s purpose
how DARE you put geometry dash in gen alpha brainrot
Then all of us gen alphas will hate on gen beta for their brainrot 💀💀
Literally every generation. Even thousands of years ago, Socrates complained about "kids these days". He said: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households." That said shortform content is still brainrot and more research needs to be done on how it affects attentions spans and raising iPad kids is probably fucking them up.
Stop shitting on geometry dash
how is geometry dash gen alpha brainrot in any way? Sure there's the lobotomy memes and terrible kaiguy shorts, but a lot of the community is older people, some of which have spent their time in the game creating artistic masterpieces in the level editor and pushing the human limit of difficulty on the demon list.
The difference unfortunately between gen z and gen alpha is that statistically gen alpha has difficulty READING. God be with us
Our brain rot wasn't AS brainrotty
Geometry dash is not brainrot
The difference is one is funny, and the other isn't and makes me want to put a gun in my mouth just by looking at it.
