I'm more confused about the confusion surrounding Skibidi Toilet than the thing itself. How is it confusing? Millennials already saw this kind of thing. This video is from October 2007 for example. Also all those weird animations on Newgrounds, people like Tom Green, the entire "random" fad from 20 years ago. Now I'm feeling all wistful and nostalgic for Salad Fingers. Those were good times honestly, felt like internet creativity was more organic back when there wasn't any money to be made

It's just some surreal animations with Half-Life 2 assets, right? I've been seeing stuff exactly like it for over half my life now. If anything I think it's cool that there's still life surrounding Half-Life 2 and Source engine stuff. lot of good times with those communities

also from my understanding a lot of popular slang that's considered gibberish (gyatt, rizz, cap, simp, etc) is just repurposed NYC/Chicago/Atlanta black slang that's been around for decades

Speak for yourself, nerds. I invented strange memes.

Also why is some boomer website for business ghouls telling anyone what rizz is lmao.

Skibidi my balls

This is boomer cope once again wishing that the hatred for their generation has more to do with age than cohort. As a millennial, and an older one at that, I know how to look up shit on urban dictionary.

Not me, I have pretty much exactly the same half-understanding of memes now as I did of the ones around 15 years ago. AYBABTU, Chuck Norris, Big Chungus and Skibidi all occupy exactly the same conceptual space in my mind.

The media is creaming itself over this occurring because when people don't know something, when they feel out of touch with the world, they seek an explanation somewhere.

That somewhere is going to be the only people talking about it, and that's the establishment media.

And that's how they suck more and more of them into their sphere as aging occurs. The more they feel they don't know, the more they rely on the establishment media to ""inform"" them.

It'll happen to the zoomers in 15-25 years too.

I understand them just fine. Sounds like a skill issue

They didn't even get it right, it's "sticking out your gyat for the rizzler".

No matter what generation you find yourself in, the inescapable grasp of time will have you paying the fanum tax eventually 😔

No, the internet has just become a place I no longer have the time or patience to explore or fully comprehend. Its a big pile of poop. I blame the corporations.

"Sticking out your tongue for the rizzler"

FAKE NEWS

It's Sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler, or sticking out your tongue for the picture. Boomers can't even do fake zoomer-solidarity correctly to dunk on millenials

Virgin reading some whiny article on how zoomers will one day be as old and lame as millennials vs chad looking up shit you don't understand on UD and KYM

Harry Potter references, Instagram filters, monogamy,

bruh what lol

the framework — how people interact and businesses operate on it — remains largely unchanged

DESTROY NEOLIBERALISM

"Gen Y's alright, Gen Z's alright, they just seem a little weird" or whatever it was Cheap Trick said

Generational cohorts aren't real generational cohorts aren't real people are born every day people age every day ahhhhhhhhhh

This is a dumb article that doesn't actually explain what it's describing. The only difference between the Internet now and before is that there's more of it. There has always been a separation between people who use it and know the memes and people who don't, and there have always been infinite subdivisions between the people who are on it but who aren't on the same sites. Younger people have a higher proportion of their population who are on the Internet, and therefore also have more subgroups coming up with more in jokes, meanwhile the older you are the more likely you might have lost interest in the Internet all together and stopped interacting with it at that level.

Isn't half this stuff more gen alpha? Feels like gen z is speed running their time in the light and gen alpha is speed running to be the main influence on the web. Feels like we're just 1-3 years away from it being more gen alpha then gen z or millennials. But I'm also a mid era millennial so maybe I'm just being a boomer with this take.

The internet has scaled so much...

to cyber jail, from techno-crutch...

beneath the grass I failed to touch...

bury me without a grudge.

I used to be with IT
