    Okay, so I didn’t get half of it. I think I’m good.

    I guess I’m too old for this. Or is this funny?

      My 9 and 11-yo’s are home for Christmas. I got another week of listening to this.

      Probably to the “oh my god new slang so cringe this youth” crowd. You know, those who always said they’ll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁

        i still do not see good evidence for this being actual slang people use seriously, it just looks like old video game ads where adults write scripts with what they think kids sound like, and then we look back and laugh at how stupid it is

          That’s because it’s exaggerated, and the kids play into it rather than cringing and moving on like you might have when you were a kid and adults tried using your slang. The reason is that unlike previous generations, gen Z has incorporated it into youth culture as a result of the current state of the internet and has a name to call it by: brainrot.

        If it reads as gibberish, you’re too old. If it makes perfect sense, you’re too young. Somewhere in between those ages is the funny zone, where you can sorta understand what it’s meant to be doing.

          You cannot be young enough for this to be normal English, nobody uses this unironically/outside of their online media persona.

          I’m in the correct age, and terminally online enough to understand most of it. I can say 3 things:

          1. Kids don’t actually use these. There’s an overlap between the latest slang and brainrot terms, and most of the ones that don’t overlap primarily originated in some slang or common term, but nevertheless the majority of the words here now exist as brainrot terms first, not actual slang irl
          2. This meme is using most of them wrong. Most brainrot memes do.
          3. This is one of the lowest effort esolangs I’ve ever seen, so it’s not terribly interesting. It’s literally just python with keywords and some vars replaced with brainrot terms. To see something actually high effort that’s similar, see something like Shakespeare https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare

          I know some of the words, but dont see the funny in it, but it’s winter time so I am at a mental state like when Stan realizes he is a cynical cunt and everything is shit.

      I was able to make no inferences about any of the statements or what they mean.

      Yep, it is. Mostly Twitch streamers and other such online personas, though.

      The pygyat link explicitly calls it out for brainrot, and there’s even a shitcoin if example.gyat wasn’t sufficient to ruin your day.

      Pretty sure I understand less about the slang now that I’ve seen it in this format, but I still prefer it to other encounters I’ve had.

    it’s funny but also frightening that younger generations’ slang follows a trend of being reduced to 3 or 4 letters. Delulu is an outlier at 6 whole letters, but you can see the mental laziness that resulted in it. These idiots are going to be in charge of a burning planet one day and won’t even be able to read the reports of the minds that came before them. It’s scary to imagine being alive when they’re in charge.
