This week we’re talking generational conflict!
The only thing we can all agree on is that Generation Alpha consumes disturbing memes.
Skibidiresists attempts at explanation.
But Skibidi isancientover a year oldand newer memes are even more inscrutable.
Although the original video has been taken down from TikTok,responses and remixes crowd Gen-A spaces.
My initial thought about these memes was, whats the big deal?
I’m not usually in the “what about thechildren?”
camp, but the thought of a five-year-old spending hours every day consuming this is beyond depressing.
I hope I just feel this way because I’m old and I don’t get it.
Is Gen Z cancelling Eminem?
In the video, Eminem finds the present world lacking.
The song is the latest salvo in a long-running imaginary war between Gen Z and millennials over the rapper.
Many millennials seem to feel that Gen Z is trying to cancel Em for his controversial takes.
Even a Gen Xer like me can see that Eminem is corny as hell.
What do “glizzy” and fax, no printer mean?
The word was originally slang for gun or Glock, but it seems to have shifted in meaning.
(Beats weiner, anyway.)
Fax, no printer: This is a colorful way of saying, I am telling the truth.
The 24-year-olds latest stunt was running for the European Unions parliament as an independent from Cyprus.
What is a hot rodent boyfriend?
Often mentioned pop culture examples include Timothee Chalamet, Jeremy Allen White, Barry Keoghan, and Matty Healy.
The two original rodent men, though, are actors Mike Faist and Josh OConnor, the stars ofChallengers.
As thebelow postfrom X/Twitter user Francesca Fedele points out, they do look like cute little mice.
From that post, the entire genre of rodent men gradually took form.
Personality-wise, rodent men lean toward sensitivity, wittiness, and intelligence instead of brawn.
These are games for people’s dads.
So I went looking for the kinds of games kidsareexcited about.
It turns out, they like games about chickens.
