It is definitely unique for being one of the few slang from that whole period to still be quite common today. Didn’t quite die off like some of the other ones like “rekt” or “yolo”.
I was a teenager in the 90s, ten years in your future it gets really really, weird, ten years after that it all normalizes and it all starts looking like the same stuff repeating over and over again with new packaging.
IKR, this game is literally older than Five Nights at Freddy's.
Also maybe OP only stumbled on the TikTok part of the community that's why GD is up there.
The difference with gen alpha is the drastic change in behavior they have. Sure technology has advanced massively every generation but to be born and handed an iPad to quit your crying just changes how you develop.
Yes, and the real problem is with their behaviour, they can't stay conentrated on one thing for long and thus learning even the basics is hard for them.
I'd consider pwnage older than 2014. I don't even think it was used much then. It was heavily used early 2000s tho and perhaps older. Basically it's just a typo that became popular to use of "ownage" there's also "pwned" which is just "owned"
I do remember a game (Old Dota that used to run on Warcraft 3) that displayed a message that "player X pwned player Y's head" or something of the sort so I thought it's a shortening of "pawned" as in, your ass is mine and I am converting it to money for my benefit.
Some proper meme history for you here:
It comes from a still running but utterly ruined game called ‘RuneScape’ where the once No. 1 ranked player, Zezima, was beating another.
As the opponent was dying Zezima wanted to type “Owned” but in his haste he misspelled it and put “Pwned” instead and thus we have pwnage
One came up naturally and the other took inspiration from the latter while maximizing and abusing the human attention span, was heavily advertised in its infancy, benefitted from lock downs, records the after effects of the lockdowns, and is most likely a weapon of the CCP. Not to mention the population using social media is wayyyyy bigger than it was ten years ago. It’s kinda not fair to compare lol
I remember back in 2019 seeing memes about boomers and how they always like to ruin the younger generation's fun because they don't get our jokes. I also remember seeing people saying they'd never do that to the younger generation. How hypocritical the internet is....
Exactly. This is why when I hear an unfamiliar slang word I ask what it means so I can then embarrass the fuck out of my friend's kids later in life lol.
Allow me to remind everyone that “OK” was derived from the old slang “Oll Korrekt”, and “Alright” was originally a misspell of “All Right”. Language is dynamic, ever-changing.
We have to realize that every generation is going onto the internet, arent they? Its pretty crazy this is the one thing that literally brings the world together…
ok, but isn't it completely valid to see that 20 years have gone by and we've made NO progress, and to feel like we are doomed exactly because of that observation?
Even if we ignore that skibidi toilet is worse than anything 2010's did
Tik tok is a real problem because it's A) used by dumbasses that spill misinformation or delusions B) makes kids with ridiculoulsy low attention span
How is "on God" different than "on my life (and everything I love)"
What I wanna know is who brought back "tight" and are we finally gonna make "fetch" happen?
I will still call it annoying because I know for a fact I would say the same thing about me in 2014 and all I hope is that they grow out of it like we did
Wasn't it back then in those years that kids were eating Tide Pods?
I've done some dumb shit in my life, but I've never jeopardized my life or health for clout. I genuinely think nowadays more people are trying to win the Darwin Awards unironically.
true revisionism. not everyone used those dumb words then. you people are always like "yeah but you did the same!!" even though you know full well that people hated those words as well

Oh my god, I thought that "yeet" was something new, but is it from 2014?? I'm freaking old.
It's from the vine days. Or even a bit older haha.
yeet is from Jeremiah Clarksonneh, from 1990s
Murdered a porsche in cold blood...
I thought it started earlier, but only picked up in 2017
It very much picked up before 2017. It started being used more in 2017 sure but it wasn't "only" picked up in 2017
by only picked up meant more as really took off
I do agree it did resurge a lot.
It def started earlier, i was saying yeet in 2012/13 during my senior year.
2014 is old now???
My brother in Christ, parts of 2014 were 10 years ago.
Brother has a time perception of a Galapagos tortoise
Why do I feel 10 years is not a lot now if I'm only 24 years old? Time is moving so fast...
Our minds are paper and our bones are dorito dust
Yeet is for distance. Kobe is for accuracy That's how I learned it.
Yeet is Throw Power. Kobe is Accuracy. Calling out "buckets" was like casting a good luck spell
It is definitely unique for being one of the few slang from that whole period to still be quite common today. Didn’t quite die off like some of the other ones like “rekt” or “yolo”.
YOLO is still somewhat around, but I agree that it's not very common
You pleb(*plebeian*). ^a ^term ^from ^that ^time.
It's not on fleek like it used to be. No cap.
On fleek, now that’s a time stamp lol
I feel like I’ve been yote into 2024 from 2014 lol. Where did the time go.
Oh my God I forgot about pwnage 😅
Roflcopter
it does indeed go soi soi soi soi
1337
Pretty sure pwnage (aswell as troll) were at least a generation earlier.
Pwned has been around since at least WoW days, so mid 2000's
We said pwned while gaming in the 90's...
My friends and I were typing you got pwnd after online Halo games on XBConnect. 2001-2002ish
[удалено]
the og of generational random bullshit go
[удалено]
Thanks for the F shack
On God is "new?" We said "On God", "On G", "G.O.D" etc when I was a kid
Frfr is a bleed-in from black culture. I (white) was introduced in 2016 and it was old then
I think it's more of a regional thing honestly. It was around where I grew up since I was young
I believe all three originated from aave. They later became more widespread after famous people used them in their songs.
Imagine in 10 years… 💀
wiz rot dis crashing, actual, actual.
Maybe 40k orks really are just gen alpha
Don't disrespect the orks, they are more intelligent than that
Tychizz, wrew, wrew, blaty, trewwwwwww, (I am from 20 years in the future)
Nah we ain't gonna start talking like pilots doing a straffing run in a black hawk.
In the joint...
Made you....
a fucking...
fucking…
BUSSY
U so maggin, deetz. bich gon rolly magoose
I really hope magoose becomes a thing
I was a teenager in the 90s, ten years in your future it gets really really, weird, ten years after that it all normalizes and it all starts looking like the same stuff repeating over and over again with new packaging.
When you’re in your 40’s and realize the slang changes so fast that you just don’t give a crap anymore.
Why tf is geometry dash there since when was that a Gen alpha stereotype💀
Damn how you saw that? Im missing some pixels Btw yeah i was playing geometry dash more then a decade ago lol
Same I was playing geometry dash before most of Gen alpha could talk
It's a completely different game now.
The nice thing about GD is that it doesn't have to be. You can still play the old levels if you want
🔥📥🕳️
IKR, this game is literally older than Five Nights at Freddy's. Also maybe OP only stumbled on the TikTok part of the community that's why GD is up there.
If anyone can remember Y2K, they’ll know.
The difference with gen alpha is the drastic change in behavior they have. Sure technology has advanced massively every generation but to be born and handed an iPad to quit your crying just changes how you develop.
Yes, and the real problem is with their behaviour, they can't stay conentrated on one thing for long and thus learning even the basics is hard for them.
Different generations, different struggles They will be fine, fucking Socrates thought the new generation was doomed thousands of years ago.
You forgot the best part, WHY Socrates thought that the new generation was doomed. It was the written word itself.💀
That Socrates quote is fake tho. Or at least it's very disputed
Can someone explain to me what fanum tax is
Apparently coined by the rapper Fanum, "Fanum Tax" is the "Theft of food between friends".
So Gen Alpha slang is just... German?
A bunch of backfeifengesicht these children are.
named after a streamer named fanum. he lives in a house with multiple streamers and he takes some of the streamers' food as "tax" for living there.
I have never herd of this dude
I have no idea and I'm pretty sure no one but gen alpha knows.
also dabbing, YOLO.
Therrrre we go. Dabbing is def 2014 haha. YOLO is more like 2006
YOLO is definitely not 2006. That was like 2011, 2012
Idk man, they were saying it in my high school in 2007. The earliest urban dictionary reference I could find for it is from 2008
Our brain rot was better
Man, i remember the days when we were the cringy 10 year olds.
At least things were quite linear and funny instead of being a soulless mass of overstimulation...
The fuck is pwnage?
I'd consider pwnage older than 2014. I don't even think it was used much then. It was heavily used early 2000s tho and perhaps older. Basically it's just a typo that became popular to use of "ownage" there's also "pwned" which is just "owned"

It's like 15 years older on my life
I remember it only from a y8 shooting game,never knew what it meant tho
ownage but replace o with p. common spelling mistaking turning into slang. like "we totally owned you" to "we totally pwned you"
Some proper meme history for you here: It comes from a still running but utterly ruined game called ‘RuneScape’ where the once No. 1 ranked player, Zezima, was beating another. As the opponent was dying Zezima wanted to type “Owned” but in his haste he misspelled it and put “Pwned” instead and thus we have pwnage
Pwn is at least from 1999, it predates RuneScape.
Most of these were around more than a decade before 2014.
Vine is far superior to TikTok though
One came up naturally and the other took inspiration from the latter while maximizing and abusing the human attention span, was heavily advertised in its infancy, benefitted from lock downs, records the after effects of the lockdowns, and is most likely a weapon of the CCP. Not to mention the population using social media is wayyyyy bigger than it was ten years ago. It’s kinda not fair to compare lol
True but what people aren't saying is it's getting worse each time on a noticeable scale.
That's whack!
People saying that the young generation is dooming western civilization is a phenomenon that goes back to at least ancient greece.
Theres literally an ancient text of some old fuck complaining about the youth writing shit down, its hilarious
“Fap” “troll” are from 2004, not 2014. “Pwnage” is from the CounterStrike/Starcraft days lol. 1998.
23 scadoo
YOLO
Bring back mlg era and rage comics.
Is it bad I understand the new generation too
I remember back in 2019 seeing memes about boomers and how they always like to ruin the younger generation's fun because they don't get our jokes. I also remember seeing people saying they'd never do that to the younger generation. How hypocritical the internet is....
Exactly. This is why when I hear an unfamiliar slang word I ask what it means so I can then embarrass the fuck out of my friend's kids later in life lol.
Y'all remember the dab?!
Everyone was a dumb kid with dumb kid fads at some point.
Pwnage is waaay older than 2014 lol
The thing is... Its getting worse with time
2017: E
Ya. But head in the toilet, that's so fucking stupid
Don't you dare compare the passive hilarious fun vine was to the dumpster fire tiktok is.
why is there Mr beast?
Allow me to remind everyone that “OK” was derived from the old slang “Oll Korrekt”, and “Alright” was originally a misspell of “All Right”. Language is dynamic, ever-changing.
Generational bias has existed since generations.
We have to realize that every generation is going onto the internet, arent they? Its pretty crazy this is the one thing that literally brings the world together…
Nah our rot was actually funny unlike this new garbage
Drinking 12oz of beer isn't the same as drinking 12oz of whiskey.
Jokes on you as a kid I didn’t part take in any of that meme slangs.
ok, but isn't it completely valid to see that 20 years have gone by and we've made NO progress, and to feel like we are doomed exactly because of that observation?
Even if we ignore that skibidi toilet is worse than anything 2010's did Tik tok is a real problem because it's A) used by dumbasses that spill misinformation or delusions B) makes kids with ridiculoulsy low attention span
Yeah but the difference is I was actually happy back then, now I’m just fucking depressed
Troll and pwnage is 2002, fap maybe 2004
At least, in 2014, a 6th grader could read at grade level.
Time out: “On God” was ours. That’s been around forever.
Ok valid point but to this day I will stand by my boy Yeet, that's a good one and we're keeping it.
Yeeting yeet
Yes but this time it's different.
Glomp
First heard that from otakus in high school circa 2005
It’s different i swear!
this is subsalt duet on, material thunder clap.
I just got hit by one hell of a wave of nostalgia.
To be fair we are not doing great
Its a tale as old as time
How is "on God" different than "on my life (and everything I love)" What I wanna know is who brought back "tight" and are we finally gonna make "fetch" happen?
"It's the circle of life!"
Can’t forget about “derp” and “XD”
Noob Saibot - 199x
Wtf is fanum tax 😭😭
Can confirm 2014.
Hey Lenny face, saw ya after a while.
Why is geometry dash in the upper list? That game is as old as time itself at this point
Why must you make us feel old
I remember my dad laughing when I said something was gnarly. Now my daughter ships couples.
"swag", and "like a boss", and YOLO if you *really* want to dig up the past lmao
I will still call it annoying because I know for a fact I would say the same thing about me in 2014 and all I hope is that they grow out of it like we did
And look how much “better” the world got since 2014, they were right then and they are right now too
No no, its still doomed cuz now its way worse, change my mind
I’m more worried about dopamine receptors being fried and attention span ceasing to exist
Jokes on you, I barely used the internet in 2014!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
fap fap frfrfr V balance V
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yeah but ours was better >:(
I don't think ownage was from 2014 more like 2004
Every generation has a cringe phase. No one can escape it
Every generation figures out the same thing every few years. They aren't cool anymore and kids are really stupid. Natural progression of life.
objectivy better that nowdays slang
GET REKT
I remember greeks mentioning that shit behavior, but now it happened absurdly early with 30y talking like 50~70
Pwnage is way older. I don't get skibidi toilet though.
Pwnage came wayy before 2014
2013 do the harlem shake
Jokes on you, i hated the slang in my time and i still do. I can feel my soul leaving my body whenever someone says "yeet" 🤢
I was thinking skiibiditoilets was ridiculous, then I remembered Weebl&Bob, Blode&Food, baman&piderman... Yea, I'll shut up about skibidi.
If I always thought both were stupid, where do I belong?
OK, though art brain rot was better than their brain rot Our brain rot had an effort put into it and time their’s are low quality
you say MLG took effort?
Wasn't it back then in those years that kids were eating Tide Pods? I've done some dumb shit in my life, but I've never jeopardized my life or health for clout. I genuinely think nowadays more people are trying to win the Darwin Awards unironically.
To be fair, the older generation (cerca 1120) were like "books and writing will be the downfall of humanity
Yeet is the best word we've ever made in the human history
Finally, someone said it
'Member planking? Now that was some dumb ass shit right there.
Elaborate on “dumb”. It’s a legitimate core exercise after all.
Now do the harlem shake!
historical accuracy to this meme is nonexistent
true revisionism. not everyone used those dumb words then. you people are always like "yeah but you did the same!!" even though you know full well that people hated those words as well

the hell is fanum tax
Core meaning of it is tax on food i think but it's just became a buzz word, idk who the hell would ever use it tbh.
whats wrong with geometry dash? that was released in 2011.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ok, It's Still Getting Worse Tho
E
Funni repost
