    I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.

    There is no such thing as generational slang. There is just slang.

    A lot of those are GenZ slang not Gen alpha slang.
    Gen Alpha aren’t going to have their own slang that’s not completely cringe until the ladder half gets to highschool. RN they’re barely in middle school.

    Older gen alpha are 12-- but all of the references are from current social media influencers. You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.

      something tells me this doesn’t stop the ones w/o adequate supervision.

        Or those with supervision who’s parents just don’t care. I’m on the older end of Gen z and definitely used YouTube before I was that old. My parents never really cared as long as I wasn’t watching anything weird on it.
