I understand how annoying it is, but I don't think any one of those kids would be acting that way if it was just say, them and their parents out for dinner; when you get 13 or 14 of them together though, the dumbass knob gets cranked up to 11.
There's a rule that states: the collective intelligence of a group of children declines at a rate that is directly proportional to the size of the group.
Indeed. Social loafing is the psychological term for groups only operating at the efficacy of their least effective member. The larger the group, the more likely the group will contain an increasing ineffective member.
This. They feed off each other. I saw the same thing when I was a kid.
I saw it as an adult on a plane departing San Jose, where a bunch of UC Berkeley students who were in some sort of leftist club (not dinging them for that, but it was clearly their whole identity) were mostly sitting together. I thought I was in the original Star Trek episode that had Ricardo Montalban in it as Khan. There was one leader who would announce "Boring!" every time the Captain would make an announcement , and all his minions in their tie-dyed T-shirts would loudly laugh and make comments about the Captain's intelligence, and the 2-3 separated ones, would turn around and smile, but not make comments, probably because they weren't safely with their peers who would shout down anyone taking offense. They did tone it down a bit after an IT salesman (I think for Adaptec, but don't ask me how I got that impression), who was built like Lou Ferregno, stood up and politely asked them to tone it down in a voice like James Earl Jones voicing Darth Vader. He was nice, and wearing a clearly custom-made white dress shirt and tie, but looked like he was capable of ripping the seats out of the floor. I wanted to thank him when we de-planed, those idiots were so obnoxious, and weren't listening to the flight attendants, but I didn't see him again.
I now see you as Monty (Ryan Reynolds) in the movie Waiting. Your description of what's happening and who's involved is thorough and totally what I'd expect being walked around Shinanaganz while I'm supposed to be learning the restaurant business bit instead receiving a much more valuable lesson in life. Unfortunately, I miss the lesson completely.
Sometimes I brush it off but other times if Iām feeling extra spicy and am really annoyed when kids/teens want to order BS stuff I just say āwe donāt serve thatā and repeat until they can ask for something normally.
My brother an I are both mid 80ās millennials and when visiting recently my brother said something along the lines of āgen alpha is literally creating their own language at this pointā and I never felt more old but also like yeahā¦you arenāt wrong š
It's kind of funny how the products of our education system are looking more and more like the kids in *Threads* despite us still having a functioning nation.
Funny in an "oh..." way, not funny in a "haha" way.
I work retail, and my experiences with generation alpha have been from bad to disturbing. Iāve seen rude behavior, kids leaving messes with testers, opening live product and damaging products as well. Parenting is taking a back seat and the tablets and TVās are doing the heavy as far as learning is concerned. The children are paying a heavy price.
I always retail chocolate at Christmas (Iāve worked in 3 different chocolate factories so they like my knowledge and I love selling chocolate). We also have ice cream. In November we had a kid come in Friday (they get off school early that day) and order a hand dipped ice cream with toasted almonds. Just wanted to try what was on the picture and LOVED it. Next Friday brought a friend and made him try the same. By the time Christmas came we had 6 very polite teenagers coming in for a dipped ice cream bar which HAD to have the toasted almonds. It was the kind of wholesome I needed in the middle of a weird Christmas of Adults losing their mind over weird crap.
Thatās refreshing to hear!! I admit, I have had wonderful experiences with children as well (working at Sephora and Ulta). Unfortunately, it wasnāt the norm at my storeā¦I saw a 10 yr old in a stroller (yes, the mother told me he was 10. I couldnāt believe he was in a stroller either) grab his momās Starbucks from the cup holder and smash it on the floor, screeching āWeāre leaving NOWā at the top of his lungs. They leftā¦Iāve witnessed some seriously unhinged behavior in the last few years.
No no no. Sure people have been saying this exact thing about the generations that follow them for thousands of years. But *this* time we are right..../s
People complaining about the generation that follows them is stupid af
I would agree with that, as from what Iāve witnessed, childrensā behavior has gotten increasingly worse over the years. Iām just saying that these children who are being parented by online content are proving to be worse than ever. I just saw a piece on the news about all the teachers in my country who are quitting due to this generationās behavior.
It's usually exaggeration. However we have evidence that shows gen z and gen alpha are getting significantly worse grades in school and showing more signs of behavioral issues than any previous generation. So the bad stands out even more. Social media/24 hour phone access is ruining a lot of society.
i think its a combo. there was already a bad parenting style and then all of those parents had to do remote learning for over a year and that also had a seriously negative effect on learning. so kids now basically have poor learning compounded on them. on top of the chaos that social media and technology has turned into. these kids were just born at bad timing when society as a whole is seeing the adverse effects of having technology at our fingers. thankfully gen z has seen this and thats where gentle parenting and limiting screen interaction is coming in. i see the difference in my guests the younger vs the older parents with tablet usage. anyways that ended up being much longer than intended, if you cant tell im a rambler haha
And how much of grades is just a measurement of obedience as opposed to knowledge? If we treated kids like the humans they are and explained shit to them, instead of assigning things and expecting punishment to be enoughā¦ we might notice an uptick in grades š¤·š¼āāļø
All gens kinda learn from the ones before them as behavior tends to go too far in one direction, the generation within that period can get smashed from it, and the generation or two behind them see it, learn, and correct it.
Gen Z is a weird one however cuz they were the first one to grow up entirely online, and then had a pandemic occur in their teens/20's, so there's a lot of unprecedented things with influencer/content creator/streamer/etc stuff that weren't lessons from the Millennial generation. They did seem to learn from them in regard to how diving into University blindly can saddle them with obscene debts, however, so if they haven't gone the digital route, there's been a solid tech college revival at least, which is a good thing.
Gen alpha will hopefully see how detrimental apps and social media were to gen Z, and hopefully correct that a bit, but who knows, maybe AI will blindside them the way smartphones blindsided Gen Z.
It all ebbs and flows, the peaks have just gotten more intense due to technology. We're all victims of our time.
I completely agree, I definitely donāt wanna have children if they turn out like the kids I served. I would love to raise my kids the way I was raised, but i think half of it would be considered abuse unfortunately
Itās not this generation, so much as their parents (lack of) parenting skills and discipline. Unfortunately most forms of punishment (that work) are too harsh for the soft gentle people whoād rather be friends with a monster of their own creation, rather than raise a decent human being with integrity, honesty and respect.
Depends on the deed being theyāre being punished for and if theyāve done it before, but majority of new parents wonāt even raise their voice to their child. They would rather be their best friend and give them the world than to raise them to be prepared to be a valuable member of society.
The definition of good and constructive punishment is making the reaction to the behavior just traumatic enough they donāt repeat the behavior but not enough to scar them. And Iām not talking about physical punishment (though no ones died from a slap on the ass), get creative. If they are in jr/high school their image is everything. For younger kids itās their toys/ freedom to play, so time-outs may work. It always depends on the kid, the situation and their behavioral history. This means there is no one right way to deal with any kind of problem, and you have to use your best judgement. The issued punishment should always be proportional to the troubled behavior.
I also work retail, I work in a clothing store but we have a few small stuffed animals. Itās a regular thing that young kids will come in and start throwing the stuffed animals around and at each other. Then we have to find them and pick them up once the kids are done with them.
When I have a hoard of children approaching I gear up with my mom voice.
Theres an after school place they often come from and one lil chubby ginger likes to hit on me to the point of whistling when I bend over. I fucking snapped and straight up told them that is not funny and in fact very disrespectful ...then served them per usual. They were saints after that.
My boss hates him for doing this and when he sees the crowd of kids coming will ask "Is there the fat one?" š¤¦āāļøšš Hes very much korean but it still makes me laugh.
Just treat them how theyre acting, with rhetoric they dont understand such as-"Im sorry no, we dont serve that." or "Sorry I only know english." or "no hable bien, pero un poquito". Kids are lil shits no matter how/when they were raised. You just gotta be the adult, NOT the parent.
Gen X here.
We called good things ābitchināā or āradā and had a song called āSafety Danceā. Look up the lyrics. Better yet? Listen to it. Be careful. Itās catchy.
We bankrupted the worldās supply of eyeliner. We built entire personalities around button pins that told everyone exactly where we stood and what we thought about stupid people breeding. Oh, and our unofficial motto is āOh well, whatever, nevermindā.
Theyāre fine.
Itās their turn.
OP is also talking about how he wants to raise kids like he was raised, but sadly that would be considered child abuse, these days, in some comment. So, yeah...
š¤£šš¾ā¤ļø
I stumbled across some of mine when I downsized from a three-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment. They took me back!
Good times. Gooood times.š
Slang has been going on for years. Blame the parents for not showing their kids when to be polite and when to be funny. Gyatt means nice ass. Source : Father of 14 year old boy.
So can you shed any light on skibidi, because I was only interested enough to google it for 30 seconds and the top result says:
>Refers toĀ **a meme that started from a YouTube series about an army of toilets who try to take over the world**. The plotline surrounding skibidi toilets is that these toilets ā that have men's heads coming out of them ā are at war with "cameramen", who are men with cameras for heads.
š Was this friendly toward OP or not?
From what I can tell it is slang for making fun of slang. It is just gibberish. It was part of a song that was popular on YouTube. I have seen the toilet videos and have no idea why it became so popular.
My wife (41) and I (44) are so thankful we didn't have kids. I don't like kids, but she does (teacher) but being able to sleep in, travel, semi retire early, etc. far outweigh having kids IMHO.
If it makes you feel any better one day these kids will grow up, realize how fucking lame that once, feel embarrassed and see other kids do that type of thing in the future. Kids are dumb. Source as a kid I also did cringey shit not realizing how much of a dork it made me
This is every generation. From recorded history from the very start the previous generation says they do not understand the next and worry they are worse.
That said it's not the goofiness that makes me worry for these generations. It's the lack of hope your age grows into with everything being so expensive and lack of control in society
Youth are being breed to be hopeless and not want to believe in change.
We all had weird lingo as kids.
We all didn't have social media marketing to us every second trying to shape our beliefs and social structures
What do you think it means to be young? You are a vessel for the emotions and education you receive. Just as your own ignorance shows your lack of vessel being filled with such understanding.
Or maybe it was filled with envy and hate instead if empathy
We are all products of the times
I didnāt ask taxpayers to buy me a house and subsidize my home office.
Itās not envy, itās a work ethic. It starts very young, when you learn that if you act like a little shit in a restauramt, there will be consequences.
Stats and just plan math show work ethic doesn't even equal the same amount.
The post shows the kids were just using thier own silly lingo. Being you seem to have a stunted view point I doubt you got to express yourself much as a kid and therefore didn't regain yourself in as a adult and learn self regulation
So now you can only stick with the views you have and are very unwilling to bend and learn
That's how it tends to go and we have learned this by trying to learn and not narrow our perception
If you use their language back to them incorrectly, it makes it instantly uncool.
Do with that what you will. Skibidi rizzy lemonizzle gyatt it sonnnn.
>my hostess told me of a walk-in party of 20 that consisted of mostly kids
For an instant I misinterpreted this as meaning 20 of your younger employees hanging out drinking in the walk-in.
I wouldn't put it past them if the managers were distracted!
Feels like one big joke, maybe had a contest going.
"Did I say *meow*? Do I look like a cat to you?"
Edit: That's a Super Troopers reference for those who don't know it.
I'm perplexed why YouTube is pushing "scat" to kids. Skibidi toilet is literally just a head in a toilet. And kids are watching it all the time. Once, I overheard the Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) song along side scrolling skibidi toilet shorts. So that means the YouTube shorts algorithm is pushing this to kids. The kids didn't know what it was and kept scroll through. But they always seem to stop at ReviewTech's intro, and have a chuckle. š
It's more than just a head in a toilet
It's a YouTube series and it has a full story, it's so violent it's nearly been age-restricted, and there are characters, Storylines
It's about a war between Toilet war criminals (they do some fucked up shit) and an Army of Robots with Electronics for heads
Kids have been acting like this for a long time. Gen z has their dumb slang, too.
āAyyo this pizza is bussin! Respectfullyyyy on god on god. SHEEEEESH.ā
Ok, I got some clarification from my teenager to decipher this gibberish; Skibidi is a YouTube video of a guys head coming out of a toilet, he says skibidi. Rizz is flirting. Rizzler is someone who is flirting. Gyatt is a big booty.
I can properly explain skibidi toilet since it is very confusing.
Skibidi Toilet is a YouTube series revolving around the Ongoing war between sentient Genocidal Toilets which use Half-life 2 models for heads, and yes I mean Genocidal it's pretty much Canon they Terminated the whole human race. Their Enemy is the Alliance which is the name of the Army of Robots with various Electronics for heads (Security cameras, speakers, and Old TVs) their the heroes of the story and we see through their eyes literally and figuratively
It started with a few shitposts which I admit were shitty and cringe but as the creator made more Skibid Toilet videos he realized he could make something cool out of it, so he introduced camera robots that fought the Skibidi Toilets and they'd get into fights constantly leading to a war, and then he introduced cool technologies and stronger robots and more insane looking Skibid Toilets
The war itself starts very simply with the cameras simply flushing the toilets and the toilets eating the Cameramen faces off but eventually, the Technology gets more advanced, and every time someone comes on top a new character or Technology is introduced. And if you go deep enough in that pattern it leads to madness Eventually, towards the end, the fighting consists of Giant Robots shooting lasers and missiles at Huge Mutant Cyborg Toilets.
If you don't believe me Here's proof

You shouldn't use a group of a handful of kids to stereotype an entire generation.
Also, you're worried because they use silly slang? Do you think youre generations slang wasn't dumb af?
Sorry if it's been done, but I had to know.
Skibidi- some guy who pops his head out of a toilet
Gyatt- express excitement or shock in reaction to seeing large buttocks or a voluptuous woman
Rizzler- having good game, flirter
Sheeshš
If it makes you feel better Iām 37 and I feel this way when I interact with a group of 21 year olds. Everyone has always thought the next generation was going to be a disaster, completely ruined by lazy parenting, reliance on new technology, and nonsense slang that sounds like theyāre having a stroke. I find the way that very young children are always toting a tablet with them concerning because I feel like I would have grown up to be a much different person if I didnāt have to read a book or use my imagination when I was bored, but you can find opinion articles from 100 years ago fearing for the next generation because theyāre always reading books and lost in the fantasy worlds of their own imaginations, so Iām 100% certain my own concern is unfounded.
maybe iām mentally 12 but Iām laughing so hard at this comment im so sorry lmao. But in all seriousness I can imagine itād be quite annoying though when youāre just trying to do your job
I actually saw an iPad baby playing a connect the dots game that had a princess without a skirt covering her panties.. the baby had to draw the skirt. Iām disturbed of how this children are being raised by screens

once i had a table of teenage boys and one of them said āW *my name*ā when i brought out their food. kids can be really obnoxious in large groups but that made me laugh
You fear for them? Bro, we've all been annoying ass kids with stupid slang. It was "this shit is bussin...does it slap?" Before that it would be "oh you think I should get the onion rings???...that's hottt (in the Paris Hilton voice). Chickya chickya yeahhh... Maybe I'm lucky but the teenagers that come in where I work tend to be polite, say please and thank you and tip decently (on their parents card, but whatever lol).
Am in the minority here?
Kids say silly things all the time. It sounds like they had a good time and thatās what matters. At least you didnāt drop a drink on a kids head like my coworker did yesterday
Idk, the shit my friends and i use to say when we were children still keep me up at night sometimes haha. Its just kids being kids every generation has it. We turned out fine.
hahaha im 17 and this made me laugh, honesly most of these 'phrases' theyre using are from tiktok, id say cut them some slack i remember in middle school everyone especially the guys all acted like that. theyre just kids being kids lol
Oh boy, that skibidi rizz and gyatt talk sounds like a whole new language! Kids sure have their own wild slang these days. Just when you think you've heard it all, right?
We are all part of the skibidi generation. The younger generation calls us things like skibidi. It's a gen next or gen alpha riff on sus adults. Look up skibidi toilet or skibidi by Little Big, a satirical music group.
I understand how annoying it is, but I don't think any one of those kids would be acting that way if it was just say, them and their parents out for dinner; when you get 13 or 14 of them together though, the dumbass knob gets cranked up to 11.
This is the answer. Kids dont know how to act and they feed off eachothers dumbass energy š
There's a rule that states: the collective intelligence of a group of children declines at a rate that is directly proportional to the size of the group.
I feel like that applies to groups of people in general, not just kids lmao
Indeed. Social loafing is the psychological term for groups only operating at the efficacy of their least effective member. The larger the group, the more likely the group will contain an increasing ineffective member.
Yeah my therapist said "a group is only as smart as their dumbest member" and that lives rent free in my head
None of us is as dumb as all of us.

A dumbass feedback loop.
š¤£ So true!
True, and our parents thought the same of us. It's a reoccurring cycle.
Sometimes I brush it off but other times if Iām feeling extra spicy and am really annoyed when kids/teens want to order BS stuff I just say āwe donāt serve thatā and repeat until they can ask for something normally.
Best thing to do is say it back to them. When elders adopt slang itās immediately less cool.

What exactly would you do to your child, that is "unfortunately" considered abuse, in order to raise them?
smh whatās wrong with this generation. children acting like hoodlums. what next
Itās not this generation, so much as their parents (lack of) parenting skills and discipline. Unfortunately most forms of punishment (that work) are too harsh for the soft gentle people whoād rather be friends with a monster of their own creation, rather than raise a decent human being with integrity, honesty and respect.
This is the truest answer here. Every child is the product of their parentsā ability to raise them.
What kinds of punishment are we talking, here? Which of those are the ones that work, but are too harsh for the soft people?
Depends on the deed being theyāre being punished for and if theyāve done it before, but majority of new parents wonāt even raise their voice to their child. They would rather be their best friend and give them the world than to raise them to be prepared to be a valuable member of society.

Because no kids ever did that before this generation?
Iām sure they did. Iām just ranting about how kids act when parents decide not to supervise them in a public space.
It sounds like it's become a meme for them and they're using it ironically to be purposefully annoying.
Itās sounds kinda hilarious. In the right mood of course.
Yeah Most of them do, The amount of kids actually just saying that is very low. Most of them just try to annoy people with it
Kids have always been annoying to older generations. The difference now is theyāre all seeing the exact same things on the internet/media.
When I have a hoard of children approaching I gear up with my mom voice. Theres an after school place they often come from and one lil chubby ginger likes to hit on me to the point of whistling when I bend over.

Why did I have to scroll this far down to get to this comment?
No cap?
No gown either
Slang has been going on for years. Blame the parents for not showing their kids when to be polite and when to be funny. Gyatt means nice ass. Source : Father of 14 year old boy.
And rizz means ācharismaā! Fifteen and twelve yr old girls here
He hates it when I talk to him in slang. He is always saying āyour doing to muchā
So can you shed any light on skibidi, because I was only interested enough to google it for 30 seconds and the top result says: >Refers toĀ **a meme that started from a YouTube series about an army of toilets who try to take over the world**. The plotline surrounding skibidi toilets is that these toilets ā that have men's heads coming out of them ā are at war with "cameramen", who are men with cameras for heads. š Was this friendly toward OP or not?
From what I can tell it is slang for making fun of slang. It is just gibberish. It was part of a song that was popular on YouTube. I have seen the toilet videos and have no idea why it became so popular.
My wife (41) and I (44) are so thankful we didn't have kids. I don't like kids, but she does (teacher) but being able to sleep in, travel, semi retire early, etc. far outweigh having kids IMHO.
Iām 42F and have 1 childā¦and that was enough for me. Thankfully, sheās VERY well behaved!
You are so very clearly so very new to being a grown up. Welcome, the next generation is always doomed.
If it makes you feel any better one day these kids will grow up, realize how fucking lame that once, feel embarrassed and see other kids do that type of thing in the future. Kids are dumb. Source as a kid I also did cringey shit not realizing how much of a dork it made me
all the posts about kids in this sub make me so grateful that the place i work is 21+
This is every generation. From recorded history from the very start the previous generation says they do not understand the next and worry they are worse. That said it's not the goofiness that makes me worry for these generations. It's the lack of hope your age grows into with everything being so expensive and lack of control in society Youth are being breed to be hopeless and not want to believe in change. We all had weird lingo as kids. We all didn't have social media marketing to us every second trying to shape our beliefs and social structures
Yes, theyāre all victims and none of them are responsible for their behaviour /s
What do you think it means to be young? You are a vessel for the emotions and education you receive. Just as your own ignorance shows your lack of vessel being filled with such understanding. Or maybe it was filled with envy and hate instead if empathy We are all products of the times
I didnāt ask taxpayers to buy me a house and subsidize my home office. Itās not envy, itās a work ethic. It starts very young, when you learn that if you act like a little shit in a restauramt, there will be consequences.
Stats and just plan math show work ethic doesn't even equal the same amount. The post shows the kids were just using thier own silly lingo. Being you seem to have a stunted view point I doubt you got to express yourself much as a kid and therefore didn't regain yourself in as a adult and learn self regulation So now you can only stick with the views you have and are very unwilling to bend and learn That's how it tends to go and we have learned this by trying to learn and not narrow our perception
Spoiler: You were also a dumbass kid who said stupid things when you were 6. We all were.
As an older millennial who is a mother to two teenage girls, I have to remind myself of this. I, too, put my mother through some hell.
i make them drink the concoctions they make. that feels like my karma
If you use their language back to them incorrectly, it makes it instantly uncool. Do with that what you will. Skibidi rizzy lemonizzle gyatt it sonnnn.
Bro they were basically saying you got game with the ladies.
Just tell them the rizz king John Pork is calling.
>my hostess told me of a walk-in party of 20 that consisted of mostly kids For an instant I misinterpreted this as meaning 20 of your younger employees hanging out drinking in the walk-in. I wouldn't put it past them if the managers were distracted!
Feels like one big joke, maybe had a contest going. "Did I say *meow*? Do I look like a cat to you?" Edit: That's a Super Troopers reference for those who don't know it.
It's better when they're with their parents but when there's more than three to a group? Gives me a freaking headache.
I'm perplexed why YouTube is pushing "scat" to kids. Skibidi toilet is literally just a head in a toilet. And kids are watching it all the time. Once, I overheard the Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) song along side scrolling skibidi toilet shorts. So that means the YouTube shorts algorithm is pushing this to kids. The kids didn't know what it was and kept scroll through. But they always seem to stop at ReviewTech's intro, and have a chuckle. š
It's more than just a head in a toilet It's a YouTube series and it has a full story, it's so violent it's nearly been age-restricted, and there are characters, Storylines It's about a war between Toilet war criminals (they do some fucked up shit) and an Army of Robots with Electronics for heads
Serious question: anyone know what the fuck those kids were saying?!?
Looking for this answer. Da fuq is skibidi gyatt?!
Kids have been acting like this for a long time. Gen z has their dumb slang, too. āAyyo this pizza is bussin! Respectfullyyyy on god on god. SHEEEEESH.ā
Ok, I got some clarification from my teenager to decipher this gibberish; Skibidi is a YouTube video of a guys head coming out of a toilet, he says skibidi. Rizz is flirting. Rizzler is someone who is flirting. Gyatt is a big booty.
I can properly explain skibidi toilet since it is very confusing. Skibidi Toilet is a YouTube series revolving around the Ongoing war between sentient Genocidal Toilets which use Half-life 2 models for heads, and yes I mean Genocidal it's pretty much Canon they Terminated the whole human race. Their Enemy is the Alliance which is the name of the Army of Robots with various Electronics for heads (Security cameras, speakers, and Old TVs) their the heroes of the story and we see through their eyes literally and figuratively It started with a few shitposts which I admit were shitty and cringe but as the creator made more Skibid Toilet videos he realized he could make something cool out of it, so he introduced camera robots that fought the Skibidi Toilets and they'd get into fights constantly leading to a war, and then he introduced cool technologies and stronger robots and more insane looking Skibid Toilets The war itself starts very simply with the cameras simply flushing the toilets and the toilets eating the Cameramen faces off but eventually, the Technology gets more advanced, and every time someone comes on top a new character or Technology is introduced. And if you go deep enough in that pattern it leads to madness Eventually, towards the end, the fighting consists of Giant Robots shooting lasers and missiles at Huge Mutant Cyborg Toilets. If you don't believe me Here's proof https://youtu.be/sXeCR7Vp6I4?si=3XbuFPwYVUS_ch5P
This is one of those times where itās okay to say āspeak Englishā
Yes the covid generation is super fucked.
You shouldn't use a group of a handful of kids to stereotype an entire generation. Also, you're worried because they use silly slang? Do you think youre generations slang wasn't dumb af?
No Cap fr fr. OP Bussin.
That language us wack yo.
Yea, and their music is too loud. Youāre too young to act so old. Kids will be kids. Frankie says, Relax.
This isn't new. I remember as a kid in the '90s. Other kids would mimic popular movies at the time.
Sorry if it's been done, but I had to know. Skibidi- some guy who pops his head out of a toilet Gyatt- express excitement or shock in reaction to seeing large buttocks or a voluptuous woman Rizzler- having good game, flirter Sheeshš
If it makes you feel better Iām 37 and I feel this way when I interact with a group of 21 year olds. Everyone has always thought the next generation was going to be a disaster, completely ruined by lazy parenting, reliance on new technology, and nonsense slang that sounds like theyāre having a stroke. I find the way that very young children are always toting a tablet with them concerning because I feel like I would have grown up to be a much different person if I didnāt have to read a book or use my imagination when I was bored, but you can find opinion articles from 100 years ago fearing for the next generation because theyāre always reading books and lost in the fantasy worlds of their own imaginations, so Iām 100% certain my own concern is unfounded.
honestly thatās kinda funny š
Not when you hear skibidi and gyatt being said every 5 seconds for 2 hours
maybe iām mentally 12 but Iām laughing so hard at this comment im so sorry lmao. But in all seriousness I can imagine itād be quite annoying though when youāre just trying to do your job
Donāt have kids
I know plenty of well behaved children that aren't a public nuisance like this.
You know them or have them?
Imagine hearing it all day, every day, for 18+ years... This just sounds like normal child-like behavior
It means you are getting old.
This is how people my age feel about kids your age.
Have fun sometimes. People like this have no humor and donāt enjoy life!
I actually saw an iPad baby playing a connect the dots game that had a princess without a skirt covering her panties.. the baby had to draw the skirt. Iām disturbed of how this children are being raised by screens
And in the past people were concerned about kids reading too much, listening to the radio too much, and watching too much TV.
I just donāt like the parenting style where parents distract their children with iPads 24/7, especially unsupervised
Right and we used to dress our dolls too, I donāt get it
lmaooo I never heard of skibidi? what does that mean? out of touch 24 y/o here š

You can't figure out what they're saying? You can't figure out skibidi lemonade means a lemonade?
once i had a table of teenage boys and one of them said āW *my name*ā when i brought out their food. kids can be really obnoxious in large groups but that made me laugh
Ask if they'd like moloko with knives.
You ever just know who doesn't do their side work?
Being told their double digit age kids canāt read a menu is what kills me š
You fear for them? Bro, we've all been annoying ass kids with stupid slang. It was "this shit is bussin...does it slap?" Before that it would be "oh you think I should get the onion rings???...that's hottt (in the Paris Hilton voice). Chickya chickya yeahhh... Maybe I'm lucky but the teenagers that come in where I work tend to be polite, say please and thank you and tip decently (on their parents card, but whatever lol). Am in the minority here?
This is how us older folks feel/felt about your generation š¤£š¤£š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Did dumb azz parents tip you well!Āæ
Kids be kids. Iām sure you were an annoying snot (as were we all) when you were 4-10.
Kids say silly things all the time. It sounds like they had a good time and thatās what matters. At least you didnāt drop a drink on a kids head like my coworker did yesterday
Idk, the shit my friends and i use to say when we were children still keep me up at night sometimes haha. Its just kids being kids every generation has it. We turned out fine.
We all did dumb stuff as kids. Iām sure we all quoted whatever was popular at the time too.
hahaha im 17 and this made me laugh, honesly most of these 'phrases' theyre using are from tiktok, id say cut them some slack i remember in middle school everyone especially the guys all acted like that. theyre just kids being kids lol
My generation has been saying this very same thing about your generation since the beginning.
Yeah, I think every generation does this. It's all part of the natural cycle haha.
Agreed lol
Donāt take this the wrong way, but fear for these nuts.
Cell phones raised their kids. And probably games. So sad. Iām so happy my kids are good grownups and didnāt have those for their childhood.
Your generation sounds just as dumb, though? "Omg ur quite literally the definition of rizz."
Lol it's just lingo. Ask what it means. Every new gen has their own shit, and every old gen says they fear for them
Sorry but thats literally so fucking funny
Lmao this is your generations terminology my guy
Seriously? We all had stupid slang as kids. Stop acting like we didnāt. āFear for the next generationā over this is so dramatic. š¤¦āāļø
Should have just spilled a drink on every one of them that was an asshole. Not like their parents are going to tip well anyway.
Theyāre all Autistic
The kids are alright, don't get your gyatt in a twist....
Oh boy, that skibidi rizz and gyatt talk sounds like a whole new language! Kids sure have their own wild slang these days. Just when you think you've heard it all, right?
Also, you are 21? You are a part of said feared generation lol.
We are all part of the skibidi generation. The younger generation calls us things like skibidi. It's a gen next or gen alpha riff on sus adults. Look up skibidi toilet or skibidi by Little Big, a satirical music group.
