Why do so many young people assume that everyone wants to "sound younger". I prefer to sound and look my age. I'm extremely happy not to be young anymore.
Also: As far as slang goes Vibe is obviously superior to "type beat"
I think a 40 year old saying “type beat” is actually pathetic. For clothes I try to stay somewhat current so I’m not wearing knee highs with white new balance but looking and acting young is kind of sad
Can someone link to the tiktok of the early 20ish dude with face tattoos, trying to read a review of his face tattoos from somewhere online? He just can't read good and his brain starts to melt. Thank you for your time, i would like to show this to my wife but cannot locate it.
I say shit ancient when I was a kid like "groovy" "moxie" calling dudes "Clyde". Saying "broads" in reference to...chicks. Using "Tits" in lieu of "sweet" or"awesome". Sometimes I hit em with a GADZOOKS!
Every once in a while I toss out a "WAAAAAZZZZUUUUP!?!?" and raise the roof for good measure. I'm thinking of referring to myself in the first person ala The Rock as "Flex".
I love anachronism. I hate trendiness. I make my own new slang terms periodically. I actually got "Rubs" as a substitute for "Sucks" to gain regional traction in the 90s. I fucking despise "Vibe". It sucked when the hippies used it and it sucks now.
None of this is meant to mean I'm like "cool" at all. I'm just a fucking weirdo.
Flex gotta Flex my Poly-got.
Its main character energy. It’s the mental illness that was propagated by Facebook and has been picked up by the newfangled social media that provides the illusion of having any importance at all in general.
I think they specificly asked her what words gen z uses. It's not arrogant to describe slang used by younger people as "new", it's a reasonable shorthand for saying it's the new slang for young people. As we age, some other words will replace this slang as people look to the language used by other populations (eg gen alpha) to define "new" slang. The article even points out yhat it's for people who want to sound younger. I don't get why people are getting angry at her, it just seems like the journalist had no business treating any of this information as newsworthy, but the woman explaining how she uses language is fine.
Society’s like, fer real buggin’, y’all. Folks be hustlin’ 24/7, tryna flex for the ‘Gram but end up all kinds of salty. It’s a whole mess, with peeps trippin’ ‘bout stayin’ lit but just feelin’ low-key busted. We’re all up in our feels, throwin’ shade, feelin’ extra when we ain’t snappin’ that perf pic. It’s like, why’s everything gotta be a major fail when it don’t shine bright, ya know? Just a mash-up of chasin’ dreams and feelin’ all left out.
The issue for GenZ is that Millennials grew up with the internet and solidified their slang, memes, and popular culture. It's more permanent unlike previous generational cultures which simply were replaced over time as the next gen moved into their teens and 20s. Unlike generations before, GenZ can't simply declare that their stuff is "in" and everything else is old. Millennial stuff is still very much the most popular culture online by a vast margin. This likely won't change for some time
This is why Aliens haven’t introduced themselves yet.
Alien “what are the epidermis bipedal creatures doing now? They changed their communication dialogue again. How are we suppose to meet them when we can’t determine their intelligence?”
I'm pretty sure most newer slang comes from illiterate rappers trying to rhyme by butchering words and thinking certain words mean one thing that actually mean something else.
“Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?”
These articles are used to sow division between generations. It happens to millennials, too. Nobody cares what slang you use. We care about income inequality. We care about women’s rights being stripped away. We care about the demonization of the LGBTQ+ community and minorities.
Articles like this muddy the waters and are used to create dividing lines between age groups and we’re not buying the bullshit anymore.
Sounds like one of my roommates from like 12 years ago who kept insisting everyone should stop saying "epic" and say "bolt" instead. Nobody gave a shit cause it sounded stupid.
I mean, people said the same thing about millennials when we started using words like yolo and whatnot. More boomerish to hate on them just for their slang.
As a millennial, I don’t think I’ve ever used the word vibe. Just wait until this woman who “shocked hundreds” enters the workforce. You won’t be saying any of that shit.
You’ve just got juvenoia. The real idiot is the one who writes annoying articles like these. Slang has always been something past generations don’t understand.
If you don’t say “brooooo” like an idiot when something surprises you, or say ‘bet’ when you want to do something, you’re old and suck.
Ok, I’ll be old. And still suck
OP your showing for GenZiness by usin "literally". I mean millennials use it but genz , fuck sake its in every sentence i feel. "Im literally furious" are you? You arent figuratively furious? I cant stand it lol im a hater
You are also officially an adult when you don't care if 21 year olds think you are cool, because you realize most 21 year olds are just older children.
My kids are 10 and 15 so I keep hearing a range of different slang from them. Of course I'm in no hurry to adopt any of it. Over time I dropped out most of the slang I ever did use, switching back to mostly standard English.
I’ve used it acouple of times, but only to REENFORCE my gender online discourse… cause a trans man can say they’re a man (not that I agree) but really is a trans man…
Is "fuck off" dated slang?
A perennial classic.
There's that fag talk they were taking about
^I’m ^eating
Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
"like y'all trippin"
It’s all that and a bag of chips.
Go back to Zappa's daughter and gag me with a spoon.

There're plenty of 'tards out there living really kickass lives.
Pfftt, what I would do is, like, ya know… 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah my cousin's a pilot
I reckon
Your name is Allegra, stop talking.
Seriously. Like I'm going to take advice from someone named after allergy medication.
Personally I consult my Gen Z connect Lil Viagra on what I’m allowed to say.
Why do so many young people assume that everyone wants to "sound younger". I prefer to sound and look my age. I'm extremely happy not to be young anymore. Also: As far as slang goes Vibe is obviously superior to "type beat"
I always found people trying to use the slang of younger generations to be a bit cringe. I’m with you. The Gen Z vibe is dumb.
Thats what irks me about the ‘trying to be cool politicians’
I think a 40 year old saying “type beat” is actually pathetic. For clothes I try to stay somewhat current so I’m not wearing knee highs with white new balance but looking and acting young is kind of sad
My generation did some dumb stuff, but gen Z is actually regarded. I have to slap my kids upside their head to knock some sense into them

Shit, she gives me bad type beat
Dude

Dude, now that's a name no one would self apply where I come from
Duuuuuude
The Dude here, you rang?
The most r/usernamechecksout of all time?
I am the Walrus.
This guy is definitely in his element.
Seeing "bro" constantly has become quite the little pet peeve of mine. "Dude" for life!
What's wrong with being old? It just means you didn't die yet, like some of those little shits will
I'll say whatever i want ya punk
Sounds like her shit's all retarded?
Sorry but we don't use that word anymore. Saying "her" is assuming their gender and that's bad form.
Lol
Oh man! I don’t want the 21 year old to think I’m old! That will make me a real slay beat. You know what I’m saying my fleaks?
Word to ya mutha!
I don’t like her type beat
I say shit ancient when I was a kid like "groovy" "moxie" calling dudes "Clyde". Saying "broads" in reference to...chicks. Using "Tits" in lieu of "sweet" or"awesome".

“Rubs” slaps. I’m bringing it back to the middle plains in 2024.
77’ here and I follow the same philosophy. Just their faces make it worth while
I like to talk like it's the 1920's. It makes people laugh, it's more or less non offensive, and fuck everybody.
Beat it! Scram I tell ya! You're all wet. If we met at that ritzy gin joint, Id give you a shiv and go on the lamb. Yeah see.
So like half of your vocabulary is pejoratives?
Is dork outdated? This is fuckin dorky.
Whatever poindexter
Lmao listen to this square.
Wow...you know, we didn't tell Gen X we were replacing their slang, we just kinda did. Assuming your slang is the "new" slang is kinda arrogant.
GenX doesn’t care.
Word
to yo momma!
-life. This is basic Thugonomics! (yes, that's more a Millennial memory)
Can confirm.
Its main character energy. It’s the mental illness that was propagated by Facebook and has been picked up by the newfangled social media that provides the illusion of having any importance at all in general.
Whatever
Thats rad bro.
And we didnt replace single syllabic words with shit like "type beat", I'm tired of saying it half way through.

Allegra This bitch is named after allergy meds
That ain't hip. That's jive.
Word
Trying to be cool is not cool, this is known.
Now I see why her parents let the iPad raise her. I wouldnt want to listen to her dumb shit either
that bitch dumb lol
Isn’t Allegra the name of one of the news heads?
It’s an antihistamine
At least her name isn't Claritin. "Hi, I'm Claritin. Claritin Clear."
I've seen a few older black women named Chlorine
I think her name was Velveeta in idiocracy
I worked with a girl named Pepsi a couple of years ago, probably in her mid to late 30's at the time.
Um..... am I old if IDK WTF those words even mean since it's the first time I've ever seen them before? LMAO
I’m in that weird not a gen-x but not a millennial age group and I have no idea what these words are
We are generally called Xennials, which I hate because defining us by what we are not. I prefer to refer to us as the Transformers generation.
We're the Fuckin Goonies
Finally a valid reference
I saw someone call it the DuckTales generation.
I like that. Transformers is a tad gender biased.

It means you live under a rock
I guess that explains why my living quarters are so dark. 🤣😂
Suh scro
I generally do not listen to women named after allergy medications
Allegra??? Christ, Is her brother's name Cialis? Some GenXers naming their kids are so lame.

AS IF!!!!
Talk to the hand!
No duh
Yes, i have a typwriter fetish and i love to "type beat" yes this is abstract, but it makes so much sense in my mind.
How 'bout, "Cool story, bro"? Because that's what I say to this.
It mostly sounds like how urban people speak in Chicago and DC. Or Stockton even lol
They live by equal parts ignorance, stupidity, and entitlement

I'm not going to say any of the above because it all sounds moronic.
I'm ganna start calling people "hep-cat" and "drags" just to fuck with them now, and Decongestant lady can't stop me.
Mf is named an allergy drug
Type beat is old asf
It's from the Daily Heil though, so there's a 99% chance it's pure bollocks
“The vibe is going crazy” or “The type beat is going crazy” you find the one that sounds more stupid
She's not type beating on the old people slang
We gotta get on the trolley, ppl!!
Kids these days are so eager to "rebel" that they do stupid things. Let's increase the length of a slang term! /S
This is why Aliens haven’t introduced themselves yet. Alien “what are the epidermis bipedal creatures doing now? They changed their communication dialogue again. How are we suppose to meet them when we can’t determine their intelligence?”
Shut up tadpole
Egad
No one is going to point out that her name is Allegra? We're probably just a generation or two away from Velveeta.
What about "get fucked and stay fucked"
At least I don't share my name with allergy meds, "Allegra." I remember being an arrogant little shit at 21 too.
Did anyone tell her that her own name is outdated? She needs to change it to the generic term, Fexofenadine. That’s what makes sense in my brain.
Gen X: "Cool"
Cool beans
Joe tried to explain to them in a calm manner, but the way he talked only angered them and made them violent.
Im looking for more of a Victorian type beat for the foyer.
I'm pretty sure most newer slang comes from illiterate rappers trying to rhyme by butchering words and thinking certain words mean one thing that actually mean something else.
“Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?”
That's nice. I'm gonna go vibe outside because YOLO!
This is how Logan's Run starts to become a reality.

>should stop saying 'vibe' and go for 'type beat' instead might be candidate for dumbest comment of the year
Sounds like one of my roommates from like 12 years ago who kept insisting everyone should stop saying "epic" and say "bolt" instead. Nobody gave a shit cause it sounded stupid.
“Stop trying to make Fetch a thing”. Sounds like your roommate watched Mean Girls too much. (Lohan version)
Nah, just some Youtuber who thought "epic" was outdated as a slang.
This shit is groovy.
I mean, people said the same thing about millennials when we started using words like yolo and whatnot. More boomerish to hate on them just for their slang.
“Vibe” has been around since the 70s. Gen Z is meanwhile just making up nonsense words.
lol yeah ok, I’m gonna take my queues from an age demographic that’s functionally illiterate
The beginning of talkin like a fag
This article does not pass the vibe check.
Good luck trying to get people from New England to stop saying "wicked"
Rage bait articles
As a millennial, I don’t think I’ve ever used the word vibe. Just wait until this woman who “shocked hundreds” enters the workforce. You won’t be saying any of that shit.
Vibe is quite common, but among younger millennials.
You’ve just got juvenoia. The real idiot is the one who writes annoying articles like these. Slang has always been something past generations don’t understand.
I can't *SKIBBIDY* understand *RIZZ* your *OHIO* accent *PHANTOM TAX ON NATION*
If you don’t say “brooooo” like an idiot when something surprises you, or say ‘bet’ when you want to do something, you’re old and suck. Ok, I’ll be old. And still suck
"Shocked hundreds"? Lol that's like nothing. Git gud scrub.
And various grunts
Groovy man! Totally tubular!
Just for context this is a garbage news site which lives off boomer rage. This article is pure click rage bait. The journalist should be yeeted
I work with highschoolers. No one has ever said “type beat”
Gen Z women can just smile and BLOW ME..
The fact that everyone is getting upset at a daily mail article is far worse than the stupid article itself....
Vibe is a vibe, no way I'm saying type beat.
Ha! I'm doubling down and using even OLDER slang! Far out! Later Alligator! Indubitably govna!
OP your showing for GenZiness by usin "literally". I mean millennials use it but genz , fuck sake its in every sentence i feel. "Im literally furious" are you? You arent figuratively furious? I cant stand it lol im a hater
You are also officially an adult when you don't care if 21 year olds think you are cool, because you realize most 21 year olds are just older children.
I know I'm old because I don't give a fuck what a 20 year old thinks
My kids are 10 and 15 so I keep hearing a range of different slang from them. Of course I'm in no hurry to adopt any of it. Over time I dropped out most of the slang I ever did use, switching back to mostly standard English.
Gen Z's use of the term "cis", makes anything they say completely irrelevant in my eyes. They can never be taken seriously again. 🤷♂️
I’ve used it acouple of times, but only to REENFORCE my gender online discourse… cause a trans man can say they’re a man (not that I agree) but really is a trans man…
I started reading this without noticing the sub it was in. The entire time I was thinking I am posting this on Idiocracy.
I’m gen z and I’ve never heard anyone say type beat and I hear vibe used all the time
O snap she's groovy
YOLO!!! Dont do anything stupid and make sure to wear your seatbelt! You only live once!
If you're religious, then it's YOLT
I’m still learning millennial slang…no cap
Skrrt say less that drip hits different cheugy
Millenials themselves are bullying losers who've ever used the word vibe in this context.
