yknow it kind of annoys me when people say "ohh gen alpha is so cooked their little minds are so fried from all the tiktok and brainrot and and the everything else!! we're so done as the human race!!" because its literally what every previous generation has been saying about the younger one. it was tv, then videogames, now, brainrot or something i guess. and it has always been "oh its for SURE this time" and it has always been "oh but this is SO much worse than the previous thing!!". there IS no "for sure this time". we i mean gen z had youtube poop and whatnot. they'll make it. and really its the same with the slang, their brutish 67, our sacred 69, etc
"its different this time i swear!! its totally not like the thing that happened when i was their age, back in MY DAYS it was ALL DIFFERENT"
@chfour Relevant, I think.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.
Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.
It'll happen to you!
