As a millenial, gen Z humor is so similar to the shit me and my friends would bombard eachother with at like 15-21... I think it's more like an age thing than anything really
I think by millennials they're mostly referring to those born 83-89. Us born in the early-mid 90s grew up in the same culture as these older gen Zs, same way the youngest gen Zs are sharing stuff with the older gen Alphas.

Heads spinning in toilets, it's insane. The last meme I found funny was a Gen Z one not a Gen Alpha one. The last part you said is absolutely true
That "Head spinning in toilet" meme was made by a Millenial in eight grade, lol. It very much is an age thing. A lot of times, we millennials "get it" we just grew out of thinking it was funny because we lived through yet another Major Historical Event last Tuesday. or was it last Thursday?

@@JasminemPolyanthum Who? Because if you're talking about Skibidi Toilet the creator is nowhere close to Millennial (he was born in 98 or 99). And he did that in 2023, so he definitely wasn't in 8th grade at the time.
My friend used to work at GameStop and kids would come in to troll and ask if they had Big Chungus, so to troll back she made a fake Big Chungus game case that was labeled as rated M and cost a ton of money so when the kids would ask for it she would break it out and be like "Yeah we have it but I don't think there's any way for you to buy it." Apparently the kids had no idea how to respond 😆
Skibidi toilet is literally a Gary's Mod source filmmaker millennial youtube poop for modern audiences. As an elder 30+ memelord, generational internet meme culture really hasn't shifted as much as people say.
Indeed, we had Leetspeak that looking back is equally silly. The only difference nowadays is that memes evolve and propagate much faster, so you get new slang popping out every other day.
There's not really any difference between a modern internet meme and the stuff we used to draw in our rough books at school, only now you share the nonsense you draw with strangers all over the world.

A lot of stuff that gets attributed to Gen A atm first spread because of younger Gen Z. Similar thing happened with us Gen Z and millenials (Annoying orange, Fred, etc) but I think the crossover is just even more blurred now because of how much more people are heavily online compared to before
I remember seeing that during the pandemic something like 70% of the memes popular between Gen Z or Gen Alpha were made by Millenials, internet humor is a big mush and try to separate it by age group is stupid.
@@yapflipthegrunt4687 I think generational divides were actually much more real until we all became connected by growing up on the global internet. Nowadays it's hard to separate a millenial from a gen alpha as far as internet humor goes. But you can spot a boomer who grew up pre-internet a mile away.
"Internet fried our brains" is the humor version of guys saying "hear me out" and pointing to a conventionally attractive woman. "Haha internet ruined my brain I find absurd images funny" "Internet fried my brain because I know the 7 discourses this meme is referencing and my gut instinct tells me which side of those discourses the OP was in"
In computer lab in high school the person I sat next to would pull up the most heinous shit.. goatse, two girls one cup, pain Olympics, blue waffle. This shit is burned into my brain almost 20 years later. And we laughed at it at the time. Not trying to brag I’m just extremely scarred.

Anyway, not sure what kind of pious community I've found here, but didn't understand the claim to Wallace Stevens.
As you can see, the meme created by the Gen Alpha kid may not literally be a threat, but nonetheless the Gen Z guy cannot interpret it as anything else because his disconnect from the humor of the youth has created a fear of inevitable irrelevance, or perhaps, death. The path we walk in life is surrounded by fear, and as we move forward towards death we are made uncomfortable by those around us who may know more than we will ever have the chance to understand. In this essay I will-
As an older Gen Z, I remember seeing Millennials on the internet talking about how they weren't gonna rag on Gen Z like the boomers and Xers did to them. But then, when the time came, they did. Just as it was done to them. Once that started happening I remember seeing fellow Gen Zers say they weren't gonna rag on Gen Alpha like the Millennials did to them But then, when the time came, they did so as well. "But Gen Alpha's memes are just brainrot!" Ours were too, you're just viewing them through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia. "B-but our brainrot was different! Ours had true substance to it!" We had some with substance and some without. We can only remember the good stuff because that's what stuck with us, but trust me, there was plenty of crap. Likewise, yes, there's a lot of crap floating around being consumed by Gen Alphas today, but there's also some pretty funny stuff. You just have to pull your head out of your ass to see it, which is hard, I know, because it isn't fun to find oneself fading from relevance, but dissing everything you don't immediately understand will only make you fade faster and with less grace. Face it, you're getting older, so grow up.
ahhhh i remember tumblr in the 2010s boasting about having post surrealist humour and dank memes i think it was when people had deconstructed loss to 4 panels of lines and dashes or whatever
And surprisingly, with Loss in particular Im pretty sure the same joke this video is making was made about Boomers, Millenials, and Gen Z. To which a bunch of millenials responded "I was there for that actually, and I get the joke". Same thing happening here. Imo, the meme with rhe date isn't *that* funny to laugh out loud on its own, but the situation with Gen Z's response is
As a late Millenial I support the Gen Z's and Alpha's form of meme madness. It's a much faster and more unpredictable ride than the comparatively simplistic Deep Depression arc we went through in our teens and 20s.
so this means even a 60-year old successful hollywood director and producer also spends his free time slouched on his smartphone giggling at stupid videos, just like any regular dude. Really makes me think he wasted his time making all that money
Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote in his autobiography that as a kid in Turin he used to hide in dark alleyways and moon passersby as a joke, and he also thought he revolutionized humor
As a millenial... isn't Skibidi Toilet literally just a GMod shitpost? It's the same fucking sort of thing as Full Life Consequences, and that shit came out in 2009.
No but really, I want to apologise on the behalf of the entirety of genZ for the ones that are screaming over and over ''genAlpha cringe'', because firstly: peeps have been complaining about younglings since antiquity, we have to break this cycle and hopefully a lot of us understand it (we saw how the elders were bashing millennials for no reason and learned not to do that), and secondly: fella we were laughing our ass off at MonsterSchool, Fred, The annoying orange and MLG clips we're no better
The joke begins by setting up a generational contrast between Gen Z and millennials. Gen Z shows a picture of "fat Bugs Bunny" (Big Chungus, a popular meme) to millennials, assuming that millennials won't get the joke because they don't spend as much time on the internet. The punchline here is that millennials do understand the joke because Gen Z humor is not that different from millennials' humor. This subverts the initial assumption that millennials are out of touch with internet culture. The joke then introduces Gen Alpha, a younger generation. Gen Alpha shows Gen Z a picture, claiming it’s a meme. Gen Z panics because they can't understand the supposed meme. This reverses the earlier situation where Gen Z assumed they were more internet-savvy than millennials. Finally, millennials laugh at Gen Z for not understanding the meme, just as Gen Z previously assumed millennials wouldn’t understand their meme. This creates a full circle and an ironic twist, highlighting how each generation feels superior in their understanding of internet culture, only to be outdone by the next.
@@northsign Actually, no. Gen z memes are not that distinct from the Millennial ones, as gen z thinks. These two generations are more similar than they like to admit, actually. The real gap - meme/culture wise - is between these two and gen alpha.
I think a lot of people forget that the top (oldest) layer of Gen Z was born without the internet, like I was born in 2001 and I remember when my parents still had flip phones.
We're pretty unique because we literally lived as technology was making leaps in advancement, we started out with still having a home phone, to suddenly everyone having an iphone with the first touch screen
The internet started in the early 1970s. It was not the first and not the only computer network, but eventually it won the protocol wars. My first internet connection was at the university in 1998. 100GBit ethernet, static public address for each connector, and shared LAN for the whole building. Then my parents got internet at home, 56k dial-up over the POTS. That was the leaps and bounds of technological progress we experienced. Moore's law about computers becoming smaller, faster, cheaper, and more efficient, held from the mid-1970s until about 2016. So what? There was more time between the Wright Flyer and the Concorde, (though to be fair there were two major setbacks blocking technological development during that time). Technological progress was nothing new. The late 19th century had a lot more going on in that regard
@@davidwuhrer6704 We get it, you like the history of computers. Yeah the internet _existed_ in the 70s, so did cellphones, they were just the size of a brick, but that’s not the point. The point is everyone having internet access in their pocket only became a ubiquitous part of society within the last 15ish years.
@@aceofspadesguy4913 Shifting the goal posts? Yes, internet in the pocket became a thing in the 2000s. My point is that the technological progress of the time was often stepping backwards, and nothing unique either.
Millennial, gen z and gen alpha memes all come from the same place because we all grew up with the internet. The only difference is that old brain rot was a youtube poop made by a random 12 year old. Gen alpha has to deal with literal corporations around the world fighting for every second of their attention.
The thing about having a sibling 10 years younger than yourself is seeing them go through the stages of life and humour as if it's all fresh and new, and just going "yeah nah our humour was exact same back then, this is nothing new 😂"
Yeah, and sometimes it's still just as funny, sometimes it's not. The generational "gap" is really not that big. The things you stop finding funny past a certain age are the same things the younger generation tend to eventually stop finding funny. But they haven't gotten that old yet lol
I mean really though for any more modern kid looking for goofy stuff there's such a wealth of it stretching back generations, you don't even need to wait for new content anymore. You just have to find it
I'm GenZ and I've totally accepted that I don't get Gen Alpha memes. I've got other problems lmaooo. But SOME of my peers spend so much time trying to understand them for the sake of feeling YoungTM that it's almost pathetic, honestly.
Odd that that's what you assume the date to mean. I remember when people posted dates pictures to prove they were current. That's what this reminded me of.
The date isn't for when he dies, it's for when his generation becomes "old" and "cringe" just like the millenials and gen x did. Sadly, his prediction was about four years too late, as "gen z boss and a mini" has already happened. We have already aged poorly. We have already become cringe.

I get it. It is satisfying to watch Gen Z freak out about new humour they suddenly don't get. What a concept
Quickest boomerization of a generation
there's really nothing to get so the people freaking out are overreacting. ironic since years ago i kept getting videos recommended about zoomers bragging about how sophisticated and unique their own sense of humour is as if millenials didn't have the same thing lol
HE MADE A GEN ALPHA JOKE WITHOUT MENTIONING SKIBIDI TOILET?
He truly is the chosen one
I always thought the random date stuff was a Gen Z thing
A lot of stuff that gets attributed to Gen A atm first spread because of younger Gen Z. Similar thing happened with us Gen Z and millenials (Annoying orange, Fred, etc) but I think the crossover is just even more blurred now because of how much more people are heavily online compared to before
@@lilylavae321 generations aren't real
I remember seeing that during the pandemic something like 70% of the memes popular between Gen Z or Gen Alpha were made by Millenials, internet humor is a big mush and try to separate it by age group is stupid.
@@yapflipthegrunt4687 I think generational divides were actually much more real until we all became connected by growing up on the global internet. Nowadays it's hard to separate a millenial from a gen alpha as far as internet humor goes. But you can spot a boomer who grew up pre-internet a mile away.
same here i could have sworn the distressingmemes were made by Gen Z, had no idea it was gen alpha
"Internet fried our brains" is the humor version of guys saying "hear me out" and pointing to a conventionally attractive woman.
"Haha internet ruined my brain I find absurd images funny"
"Internet fried my brain because I know the 7 discourses this meme is referencing and my gut instinct tells me which side of those discourses the OP was in"

Seeing that he's endorsing this statement, as a fervent pursuer of truth and law, I'm currently doing some research into this man's location so that I can alert the proper authorities in his region.
I have no plans to pursue any buyers . . . I only have intent to uproot the delinquents who pedal these heinous substances, filling up the streets with further ruffians such as themselves.

Yeah, while I don't understand Alpha memes, I remember the time I enjoyed the same type of stuff.
Ask your parents if they understand gen z memes that you grew up with

Gen Alpha an A24 movie
As you can see, the meme created by the Gen Alpha kid may not literally be a threat, but nonetheless the Gen Z guy cannot interpret it as anything else because his disconnect from the humor of the youth has created a fear of inevitable irrelevance, or perhaps, death. The path we walk in life is surrounded by fear, and as we move forward towards death we are made uncomfortable by those around us who may know more than we will ever have the chance to understand. In this essay I will-
As an older Gen Z, I remember seeing Millennials on the internet talking about how they weren't gonna rag on Gen Z like the boomers and Xers did to them.
But then, when the time came, they did. Just as it was done to them.
Once that started happening I remember seeing fellow Gen Zers say they weren't gonna rag on Gen Alpha like the Millennials did to them
But then, when the time came, they did so as well.
"But Gen Alpha's memes are just brainrot!" Ours were too, you're just viewing them through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia.
"B-but our brainrot was different! Ours had true substance to it!" We had some with substance and some without. We can only remember the good stuff because that's what stuck with us, but trust me, there was plenty of crap. Likewise, yes, there's a lot of crap floating around being consumed by Gen Alphas today, but there's also some pretty funny stuff. You just have to pull your head out of your ass to see it, which is hard, I know, because it isn't fun to find oneself fading from relevance, but dissing everything you don't immediately understand will only make you fade faster and with less grace. Face it, you're getting older, so grow up.
oh boy i hope nothing happens on 06.11.28, that would suck
ahhhh i remember tumblr in the 2010s boasting about having post surrealist humour and dank memes
i think it was when people had deconstructed loss to 4 panels of lines and dashes or whatever
And surprisingly, with Loss in particular Im pretty sure the same joke this video is making was made about Boomers, Millenials, and Gen Z.
To which a bunch of millenials responded "I was there for that actually, and I get the joke". Same thing happening here.
Imo, the meme with rhe date isn't *that* funny to laugh out loud on its own, but the situation with Gen Z's response is
Skibidi Toilet is just reviving G-mod surrealism/TH-cam poope like RubberFruit, Jettan, MegaGFilms, and doctorheredoctor. Time is a flat circle
Reviving? It never went away
The channel it came from has been doing that crap for 7 years. And yeah, others even longer. It's not a revival if it's just a constant stream.
As a late Millenial I support the Gen Z's and Alpha's form of meme madness. It's a much faster and more unpredictable ride than the comparatively simplistic Deep Depression arc we went through in our teens and 20s.
6/11/28 - the day Man truly begins to carry things.

Micheal Bay is making skibidi toilet movie. The only way to defeat cringe is to dive in it and become ONE WITH IT
so this means even a 60-year old successful hollywood director and producer also spends his free time slouched on his smartphone giggling at stupid videos, just like any regular dude. Really makes me think he wasted his time making all that money

Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote in his autobiography that as a kid in Turin he used to hide in dark alleyways and moon passersby as a joke, and he also thought he revolutionized humor
As a millenial... isn't Skibidi Toilet literally just a GMod shitpost? It's the same fucking sort of thing as Full Life Consequences, and that shit came out in 2009.
Yea Gen Z internet humor is highly derivative.

No but really, I want to apologise on the behalf of the entirety of genZ for the ones that are screaming over and over ''genAlpha cringe'',
because firstly: peeps have been complaining about younglings since antiquity, we have to break this cycle and hopefully a lot of us understand it (we saw how the elders were bashing millennials for no reason and learned not to do that), and secondly: fella we were laughing our ass off at MonsterSchool, Fred, The annoying orange and MLG clips we're no better

The joke begins by setting up a generational contrast between Gen Z and millennials. Gen Z shows a picture of "fat Bugs Bunny" (Big Chungus, a popular meme) to millennials, assuming that millennials won't get the joke because they don't spend as much time on the internet.
The punchline here is that millennials do understand the joke because Gen Z humor is not that different from millennials' humor. This subverts the initial assumption that millennials are out of touch with internet culture.
The joke then introduces Gen Alpha, a younger generation. Gen Alpha shows Gen Z a picture, claiming it’s a meme.
Gen Z panics because they can't understand the supposed meme. This reverses the earlier situation where Gen Z assumed they were more internet-savvy than millennials.
Finally, millennials laugh at Gen Z for not understanding the meme, just as Gen Z previously assumed millennials wouldn’t understand their meme. This creates a full circle and an ironic twist, highlighting how each generation feels superior in their understanding of internet culture, only to be outdone by the next.
Where's the joke in Fat Bugs Bunny?
@@davidwuhrer6704 He thicc
Nah, millenials do struggle to understand gen z memes. Chungus is just too straightforward lol
@northsign it's not that we struggle it's just that your humor is just not that funny
@@northsign Actually, no.
Gen z memes are not that distinct from the Millennial ones, as gen z thinks.
These two generations are more similar than they like to admit, actually.
The real gap - meme/culture wise - is between these two and gen alpha.
Incorrect, I find gen alpha brainrot really hilarious as a member of the generation z
It looks like each generection dislikes humor that is not from their generation.
The Cuban Missile Crisis not going hot is the bad timeline.
I think a lot of people forget that the top (oldest) layer of Gen Z was born without the internet, like I was born in 2001 and I remember when my parents still had flip phones.
We're pretty unique because we literally lived as technology was making leaps in advancement, we started out with still having a home phone, to suddenly everyone having an iphone with the first touch screen
The internet started in the early 1970s. It was not the first and not the only computer network, but eventually it won the protocol wars.
My first internet connection was at the university in 1998. 100GBit ethernet, static public address for each connector, and shared LAN for the whole building.
Then my parents got internet at home, 56k dial-up over the POTS. That was the leaps and bounds of technological progress we experienced.
Moore's law about computers becoming smaller, faster, cheaper, and more efficient, held from the mid-1970s until about 2016. So what? There was more time between the Wright Flyer and the Concorde, (though to be fair there were two major setbacks blocking technological development during that time). Technological progress was nothing new. The late 19th century had a lot more going on in that regard
@@davidwuhrer6704 We get it, you like the history of computers. Yeah the internet _existed_ in the 70s, so did cellphones, they were just the size of a brick, but that’s not the point. The point is everyone having internet access in their pocket only became a ubiquitous part of society within the last 15ish years.
@@aceofspadesguy4913 Shifting the goal posts? Yes, internet in the pocket became a thing in the 2000s.
My point is that the technological progress of the time was often stepping backwards, and nothing unique either.

The gen alpha kid predicted the date that the fog would come
Millennial, gen z and gen alpha memes all come from the same place because we all grew up with the internet. The only difference is that old brain rot was a youtube poop made by a random 12 year old. Gen alpha has to deal with literal corporations around the world fighting for every second of their attention.

*Plankton Farts and Dies* is to modern comedy what *The Beatles* were to modern music.
your content is both hilarious and fills me with existential dread. Thank you.
yeah gen z is having problems with the realization that hey you don't will be young forover and actually you're become older right now
Each young generation is driven to show how different it is from previous generations, because they don't want to think of themselves growing old.
I used to think "how do adults struggle to keep up with lingo like this?" Then I turned 23 and watched skibidi toilet and felt… absolutely nothing
Far out, man
Big chungus was baby gen z, but millennial still
It's a PS4 game meme from 2018 so not exactly.

On 6/11/28 we'll finally find out what the Thing carried by Man is
The thing about having a sibling 10 years younger than yourself is seeing them go through the stages of life and humour as if it's all fresh and new, and just going "yeah nah our humour was exact same back then, this is nothing new 😂"
Yeah, and sometimes it's still just as funny, sometimes it's not. The generational "gap" is really not that big.
The things you stop finding funny past a certain age are the same things the younger generation tend to eventually stop finding funny. But they haven't gotten that old yet lol
I mean really though for any more modern kid looking for goofy stuff there's such a wealth of it stretching back generations, you don't even need to wait for new content anymore. You just have to find it
There is no Gen Alpha memes yet. It’s just Gen Z memes geared towards Gen Alpha
I'm GenZ and I've totally accepted that I don't get Gen Alpha memes. I've got other problems lmaooo. But SOME of my peers spend so much time trying to understand them for the sake of feeling YoungTM that it's almost pathetic, honestly.
The reflection of Gen Z's phone shows nobody is actually there. What this means, is nothing.
Why, it's the date the funniest meme in existence will be created, and you'll be the star!

Odd that that's what you assume the date to mean.
I remember when people posted dates pictures to prove they were current. That's what this reminded me of.
The date isn't for when he dies, it's for when his generation becomes "old" and "cringe" just like the millenials and gen x did. Sadly, his prediction was about four years too late, as "gen z boss and a mini" has already happened. We have already aged poorly. We have already become cringe.

@@amongusus47825 nah the boomers are the ones who still watch colbert so it was an odd choice to have that on his show as if they would get the reference.
the whole point of skibidi biden was to be an out of touch, bad joke! colbert was explicitly making fun of how biden would fail to appeal to young voters! he knew exactly what he was doing!!!
media literacy is dead and the reaction to skibidi biden proves it. there was literally context explicitly provided right before it. and people ignored it because they wanted to say "lol this is so cringe" as if that WASN'T THE POINT
i will defend skibidi biden to my dying breath because i worry about ever-growing media illiteracy
