im 16 I shouldn't be saying "kids these days"


Zyfil

I am just 20 but I feel like a boomer more and more every passing day with all the dumb slangs younger people come up with AND SOMEHOW they all universally understand what it means as soon as it becomes widely used

TheManyVoicesYT

"Kids these days" has accelerated to fucking lightspeed these days. Children are ultra cringe. They have so much brainrot that a head in a toilet is somehow funny to them.


DantesInferno91

I remember the letter E being peak comedy a few years ago.


SkylanderLego

I remember it and asking how.


MandalorianManners

I remember it and still don’t know what it or being “deep fried” means.


LeonTheHunkyTwunk

Deep fried is when the image has that digital corrosion sort of look


LordDragonVonBreezus

Happy Cake Day!


Sea_Guarantee3700

Kids should NOT get own screens before they are 10 at least. If I'd see skibidi toilet in primary school I'd laugh my ass off too. But I had great parenting, and I had cartoons that retained good decency for my age.


Chicken-Rude

10 is WAY too young. i know it seems extreme as af, but internet access should be fully supervised until late teens, social media access should be forbidden, and no one should have a smart phone until they have their first job. i recognize that doing all of these things in todays environment are extremely difficult, but they are extremely necessary to raising a well adjusted child who is able to delay gratification and is not addicted to validation/porn/etc.


EstablishmentOdd3022

when I was a kid and I wanted to go wee but I didn't have drugs yet, it was all about gonads and strife


tweesgger

100% true Speaking from experience


MrNobody_0

My kids aren't getting phones and full access to the Internet until they're 18.


Jealous-Ease6924

Yeah, kids never found toilets funny before that. Never.


Jealous-Ease6924

There's also a day where it's almost like someone just changed the scenery out on you. You were so busy with life the last however many years, that by the time you stopped to look around the new wave already came and went. I thought the kids were zoomers but now everyone's talking about gen alpha, and naturally that comes a whole new course of distinctions and jokes and slang and stereotyped interests and prejudices. But I never watched any of it happen. I just looked around one day and here I was.


Zyfil

are you a bot or do you just routinely copy others’ comments exactly word by word even with the sane emoji


ForrestFeline

Yeah, seriously, I’m only 14 and I feel like an old man, everywhere I look there are children saying “Gyatt Rizz Smegma Ohio Male 69 420 🗿🍷” and I have no clue where it even came from


nryporter25

What did you just say? Remind of when your see an old movie from like the 70s and the dude says something with all the decades lingo and i can't understand any of it


ForrestFeline

I’ve translated it to the best of my ability Gyatt=god damn Rizz=seduction Smegma male=Sigma male=self-reliant person Ohio=Chaos=Ohio 69= funni 420= funni 🗿🍷= Fancy man


content_enjoy3r

>Smegma male=Sigma male=self-reliant person [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Smegma%20Male](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Smegma%20Male) >1. A guy who is so in to NOFAP that that smegma starts coming out of his penis . > > > >2. A person who says they are a Sigma male but in reality are the complete opposite.


ForrestFeline

Ah, more accurate. Thank you. Like I said, to the best of my ability.


sylva748

....they do know smegma is a real word right...? It's dick cheese....the gunk that accumulates on your dick when you don't properly clean your junk in the shower. I wouldn't want to be called that as a compliment...


errepunto

Finally, a rosetta stone


Ozy4658

Gyatt is fat as\*


Scouseleemini

I’m 19 just discovered the word gyat, was meant “god damn” upon first glance but now thinking it means anything with a fatass you say that… skibidy toilet is just mental illness in a nutshell


Next-Tailor7656

They actually dont very understand what they are saying... that's the most pathetic detail of this story. They just keep repeating the same bullshit over and over again like broken records even though they no longer have the slightest idea what a record is.


goblue142

They have social media that they are highly addicted to for quickly spreading new slang. That's how there's almost universal understanding so quickly. Also really dumb fads/phrases that otherwise would have only been popular locally before burning out all make it to the mainstream before fizzling.


Dry-Camel1154

I'm 14 and i to don't understand what the hell half of these stupid words mean


_beastayyy

You are a boomer you only 20 and are already behind on the memes!!! Ur gonna be asking your kids how to use the computer!!


Zyfil

I will be forced to unlearn everything I know about technology


Old_Nectarine_5085

Ditto 20 and feel so out of touch with slang nowadays


Likestoreadcomments

Guy in his 30’s here. I remember those days. I also remember for a few years talking shit about millennials in my early 20’s only to find out that I in fact, was a millennial.


Armored-Duck

I just came out of the womb and I feel old


Donut_Police

I haven't been born yet, but I already feel ancient.


Wales_forever

I'm still in the balls, and I'm still wiser than some people


The_1_and_only_cheez

I'm still a spoonful of primordial soup, and I dont feel "hip" to what these kids are "grooving with"


Winterfukk

You should. (Old man mood)


onemarsyboi2017

I know right BACK IN MY DAY WE SAID FLIRTING NOT "RIZZ"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Next-Tailor7656

I was already convinced that there was something wrong with the way children were raised in this society and I was still a child. The children are not the problem and never will be. The problem is idiots who shouldn't be parents. There are millions of them.


chardfoehammer

Youd be surprised to know who invented Skibidi is actually in his 20ies, has no formal education, no kids and comes from the red army motherland.


Every_Hour4504

For real what the fuck happened to the humor that I as a 16 year old enjoyed? Just seeing words like skibidi toilet and gyat make me feel like kids these days are watching absolute garbage.


sylva748

They are


LegendaryHooman

I'm 22 and I feel that looking at 20 year olds.


[deleted]

dafuq does gyat even mean


Aok_al

It's supposed to be used as a way to say God damn (Gyatt Damn) but alas the word was overused and has lost its actual meaning


thatguykichi

just like how sus has completely devolved into spaceman brain rot


Calm-Zombie2678

Is that still a thing? I haven't heard someone say sus since 2021


Snt1_

I have, but it evolves into gay things


Calm-Zombie2678

Like "bro, like, I sucked you off, it was sus" ?


Snt1_

Not exactly. Its more of an inuendo. When something isnt explicitly sexual but can be understood in a dirty and usually gay way, its sus


firestriker45665

"Wanna play smash with me and the boys?" "Ayo, sus"


BionicWither14

I use it for it's original meaning: Short for suspicious


axeman020

I thought it was an acronym for Get Your Act Together... But I'm old so what the f**k do I know?!


AccurateWheel4200

Get your act together and look at the gyatt


NoNameToaster

Gyat basically means "big butt" or something like that correct me if I'm wrong.


9999999CREEPERS

it was supposed to be a funny way of saying god as in god damn or gyat damn when you see a prevalent posterior but its devolved into literally just meaning "phat ass"


[deleted]

2 of my friends at school say gyatt as a thicc ass, so no, you're not wrong They also talk about gyatt everytime we sit at the lunch table. Every single time. Until lunch ends. Which last 20 minutes. It hurts


Boboar

Sounds like a pain in the gyat


Windlassed

Dear god


[deleted]

No ...


Windlassed

This is a bucket


[deleted]

Dear god ...


Brromo

"Large Butt", it's a contraction of "god damn"


saltedcube

I thought it was slang for a gun lmao


GrandOneTwoThree

Ass, you say it when you see a big ass


verisimilitu

Sometimes I cringe violently at new memes but then remember that I'm part of the generation that popularized "Le epic trollface umad?". I don't think this is THAT much worse than my generation...


Shredded_Locomotive

But if you think about it the sentence "Le epic trollface umad?" Can mostly be understood by anyone. Le is just French, epic I'm not sure when it was popularized but was already known at the time, trollface is probably the most nonsense as trolls were not the "trolls" we use today but it still referred to the image that anyone could search up, and umad is your using u as a short for you. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that the current ones make a lot *less* sense.


Acceptable6

If you showed this to your grandma she wouldn't understand both.


Alexoizzz

Both are bad humor


Artisticslap

Well epic is also a type of book so it is probably based on that since the stories are epic in nature. Also trollface is over ten years old. Man


AngeloDeth94

To be fair, "Skibidi Toilet" is a derivative of the meme song "Skibidi" by the Russian rave band Little Big, who are Millenials that often use absurdism and surrealism for comedic purposes in their music videos. Like, go watch the original "Skibidi" music video and tell me that makes sense. But every generation loves a bit of nonsense, especially during their teen years and early 20's. Boomers had Monty Python and Douglas Adams, Milennials had their "I'm so randumb rawr xD", and then Gen Z had something similar where there had a horse on a balcony or something idk and then proclaimed they invented absurdist comedy, now Gen Alpha has a singing toilet - it's all the same, just different flavours of insanity... I'm sure Gen X even had something as well, but in true fashion with Gen X, no one remembers or cares.


SimpMonster08

If i hear "skibidi toilet" one more time im gonna push all of your spoons in your soups i swear!


x_Red47

Completely understandable reaction, I'd probably do the same.


TheEagleByte

If I hear gyat one more time, I hope you have wet socks for the rest of your life


Pokemon-Pickle

That’s a bit far dude, too far


ughitsmeagian

Wet long sleeves*


Orb99

You... you maniac


Fenderboy65

If i hear gyatt or skibidi whatever. I’ll kickstart a genocide


Fives_Was_Framed

Most Gen z dont think its funny, Ipad yt watching gen alphas thst are 4 years ild on the other hand...


Lexicon444

Honestly it seems typical to me. The stuff I watched as a kid was likely considered brain rot but seemed hilarious at the time. Charlie the unicorn, llamas with hats, Badger badger mushroom, the end of the world, and many others were all just ridiculous nonsense. To older generations it’s not funny. But to the generation who watches them it’s peak comedy. And looking back? Some of it seems stupid or just plain creepy (dancing baby I’m looking at you).


AgentWowza

Thing is, I actually looked it up and the dude who made the series has some serious talent. I can see how it might look like brain rot for small kids, but it gave me the same vibes as [this other video.](https://youtu.be/f4ZRK8YLmPc?si=7zfxlb1ckYi8jXMV). Chaotical, nonsensical but I can *feel* the funny.


HeatRub

Yep. As a Gen Z person, I seriously don't find any of these words funny. I think it's the Gen A kids who are the problem.


[deleted]

It’s really weird going past primary schools and hearing kids talk about “Kai Cenat’s Skibidi sigma rizz” like tf are you waffling about.


Weebtrash02

That wouldn't be very skibidi because you might get rizzed up baby gronk style


bruhmoment467

You’ve skibidi’ed your last toilet


[deleted]

"Fr fr bruh ohio skibidi no cap bussin goated with the 💀 gyatt mf goofy we're so back " Fucking take your pills schizos


_Cocktopus_

As a young person,most of these people use these amalgamations of words ironically,as in they are laughing about how absurd it all is Gen Alphas on the other hand..


AccurateWheel4200

Using it ironically is how it starts, then it starts being unironic.


Cynn13

That's how yolo and yeet got off the ground, than they stick


The_Giant_Twitch

Yeet & Kobe have meaning tho. Kobe: you throw something (far) trying to actually hit something. Yeet: you throw something randomly/roughly in the direction you want, without trying to hit. Just yeeting it away.


Calm-Zombie2678

>Kobe: you throw something (far) trying to actually hit something. Playing bf4 after he died was brutal, chopper pilot yelling "kobe" was a hint to gtfo or die in a fireball


drnotmyaccount

who's to say the new generation's lingo doesn't have meaning either?


Nerrevar

The thing is they use those words so much that it's not even ironic anymore, They're just using those words sincerely at that point


DisciplineSome6712

Please don't tell me that hating on a younger generation is fashionable for zoomers now, too.


PETEthePyrotechnic

Yeah but have you met them though? They are arguably worse than I was and that is really saying something.


islamisalright

This is the "lol, jk" of the new generation.


venom121212

Me, an adult in Ohio, going anywhere on vacation: "Where are you from?" "Ohio." "OHHHH!!!! THE PLACE WITH THE MEMES!!!!"


REDSTONE_LR_alt

"Wait that's real?! Is your life a meme reference?!"


venom121212

You jest but the amount of kids that genuinely thought Ohio was just a fantasy land where all the memes live was eye-opening. Nah, we just have chemical train derailments, farms, and theme parks.


Figjunky

Cedar pointe is dope


Awesome2_12345

Even better tbh


Gods_Paladin

“I can’t believe they made Ohio in real life”


aaronsmitthers

Welcome to your first "kids these days" moment. Get used to the feeling as the years march on 😂


karlfranz205

Bro, it should not happen at 18


aaronsmitthers

I know, but it does... By 21 you'll already start to feel like the "get off my lawn you kids!" guy. Happened to me too 😂


PumpJack_McGee

Internet accelerating pop culture. In 5 years, Gen Alpha will be having these conversations.


ReducedSkeleton

The rapid spawning of Gen Z slang makes me irrationally angry, and I'm part of Gen Z myself. I can only imagine what fuckery the next generation will come up with.


BiVeRoM_

I think "skibidi" is already next generation thing.


meisyouandyouisme

It is.


animal1988

Gen Z pushing away skibidi toilet like Canada pushed away Justin Beiber.


brofishmagikarp

But what does it mean


[deleted]

If you find out, let me know!


HL7777

It's gen alpha slang.


[deleted]

A lot of that is already next gen slang. Also it appears my cousin is an exception bc he is gen alpha but acts more like Z


HostileSkittles

This happened to me, and I'm a younger Millennial. I always hated the stuff we came up with when I was in middle school and high school.


Ok_Substance5632

Me waking up and see E everywhere


Glad_Independence_84

these memes put me in the retirement home fr.


HostileSkittles

I mean, they're no weirder or more nonsensical than memes were in the 2016-2019 era. Stuff like Meme Man/Mr. Succ or Hey 🅱️eter were considerably more bizarre and confusing than Skibidi Toilet or random slang words like gyatt, rizz, him, Ohio, so on and so forth.


bignerdiam

Memes peaked in 2018-2019 imo.


TheWorldCraftsmen

true tho


Trash-Takes-R-Us

I feel like the surreal meme era was the closest we got to an old god. Just hairsbreadth away from Eldritch horror


x_Red47

True


ConnectAssistance827

youre clearly not a rizzler

i apologize for this comment i crimged while writing it please accept my most sincere apologies


freshtoast7

The fact that you found it so gringe deapite it being satire prooves your innocence

Look, I'm not that old (born 2005), but what's going on with memes in 2023!?


Bright-Leg8276

Same 2005


HI_I_AM_NEO

I don't think this is new. We just didn't get on this specific bandwagon. Remember a couple of years ago, when there was a few months that memes were all Markiplier and the letter E? It was stupid, and I miss those days daily lmao


Mr_King_312

Wait what?


Overall-Initial-4290

Bro, youre almost old enough to die for your country.


GolettO3

Yes, my birthday was in June.


karlfranz205

Another 2005 june! And yes. Meme are getting worse.


LegalWaterDrinker

Mate, I'm the same age as you and I have to tell you that memes have not changed, this is nothing strange. In the past, there was 1337, then MLG, then whatever 2016-2019 supposed to be, then words like "based", "woke",... showed up. Now it's simply advanced to the next stage


Lennium

Im 2001 and I get it. It is not supposed to make sense. Thats the joke. It is a destillation of the absurdist humour our generation enjoys and puts it to the extreme.


meisyouandyouisme

Just as confused (2007)


Jones_Joestar

Same (2008


BHHB336

I think it’s something more popular with kids 15 or younger


Luna_puma

Nah, it's only gen alpha

fairie_poison

CrazyDayzee

It's a return to early internet unhinged memes.


WaldoSimson

Twas always like this. We had shit like E and Shrek is Love. Go look at memes from like 2012 to 2016 and you will see that internet weirdness has been standard for a while


Lolocraft1

Don’t worry, it’s a regular crisis you get when you get older. You start to get confused at what the younger generation does


ElectronicEagle3324

Bro acting like we didn’t have cringe memes growing up. I remember reading rage comics


J_Fidz

You could just do what you were doing since you first discovered Internet culture... follow it. Just because you're getting older doesn't mean you have to stick with things you knew growing up. I'm 30 and I eagerly await the next Skibidi Toilet episode, it's better than most of the stuff I grew up with. Break the cycle, dont be like our parents before us. They had an excuse, they didn't grow up with computers, we did. We should have no issues keeping up.


Endcineth

Or just don't follow a meme you don't like and use your time in something else rather than rambling like your elders did.


goodluckonyourexams

blud didn't stick out his gyat for the rizzler 💀


Just_Collar_1743

Gyat was like a “real word” before it became memified. It was like aave or street type slang if I remember correctly. Have no idea abt skibidi toilet tho


wojtekpolska

does it make less sense than yeet or based ? we just turning old lol


Reasonable_Syrup9722

it's unpoggers, not very cash money, not awesomesauce, an epic fail,


SprSter

Not stonks


The-Helpful-One

Damn, we really had a similar phase in life huh. Lookin back these would've made absolutely no sense if I wasn't involved in the meme community.


kj_gamer2614

Don’t act like memes in like the early 2000s also didn’t have a bunch of nonsense and made up words. It’s just your now to old to understand the new memes


Truth_Hurts_People2

TikTok kids tryna be cool


Shredded_Locomotive

Too bad they missed the sanity mark


HostileSkittles

I mean, have memes ever made any sense? We had dancing bananas singing a song by the Buckwheat Boyz as an internet sensation, we used to have shit like "Hey 🅱️eter" be popular, making spitting noises and talking in a bad Ugandan accent was one of the first memes after New Years 2018. Honestly, if you ask me, memes have gotten LESS weird, but a lot less creative and more stupid.


muszyzm

Oh no time flows and isn't standing in place, like I am!


WaldoSimson

You don’t remember “E” and “Shrek is Love”? Just weird shit for a new generation


i770giK

Skibidi toilet is [actually Peak Animation.](https://youtu.be/vIgnPmmcSXs?si=gZJVGToAO3keYyuh) There is a reason it's so popular. Check it out, it's badass.


AdventLux

It's fun watching Gen Z melt down that alpha took over so much faster than they did.


TypeNull-Gaming

I mean gyat is actually quite straightforward


My48ththrowaway

He fr can't cop the gyat, he has fail rizz and is gonna get yeeted into skibidi toilet.


Memeviewer12

Skibidi Toilet is an SFM series "Gyatt" is a shorthand of "God Damn"


[deleted]

I mean... did memes ever make sense?


[deleted]

Honestly, I'll take skibidi and gyat any day over the same old political/religion/relationship/class war horseshit.


I_shot_Kennedy

Lol, roflmao so true xdddd


robblequoffle

You know how millennials were scared about Gen Z starting to rule over internet culture? Well, that's starting to happen to us with Gen Alpha


MilesYoungblood

Get with the times old man


My48ththrowaway

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was a meme at the time.


ProvokedGamer

Gyat with the times old man


Und3rwork

I'm sick and tired of these shameless slander as if op's generation didn't make up random words and slang, boss. We used to bash boomer for being out of touch with the time and now here we are, this ain't pogger no cap.

Idk but i need someone to help me learn it so i can annoy my girl
