Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z’er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.
He’s just committed to the vintagecore aesthetic
I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which
But it’s not even millennial lingo.
Exactly. If anything it should be Gen Z (or Alpha) saying those things
Gen z are all about the retro stuff they didn’t grow up with
Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when they were growing up.
Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when there was still some hope in the world.
Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).
I read that as Gen X. Gen Z makes no sense.
The joke may have merit, all generations have their lingo but it does seem to have gotten extra meme-ish as of late, but the labels are all wrong. Millennials are the old ones, the meme language speaker should be labeled as Z (which came after millennials) or Alpha (came after Z, born 2010-2025.)
I think if they were gen alpha they would just be texting weird memes.
Lazy gen A, not even done being born yet.
The new gen just has the ability to disseminate slang faster with all the online tools. Back in my day, words only entered slang status when a celebrity used it in the media.
Honestly, that’s a pretty decent explanation.
It’s kind of insane the turn around of slang. Can’t tell if it’s because I’m older that it appears that way.
Did they switch alphabets too when rolling over from Z to A?
Yes, they went Greek. Starting the letter naming scheme with X turned out to be a mistake.
Looks like they got the labels backwards
I think Gen X fits a lot better than Gen Z.
Except it doesn’t, because it’s gen z’s lingo. This comic is just all wrong.
As an older millennial, I wouldn’t know what they mean either.
I’ve met more zoomers who talk like that than millennials tbh.
Yeah my millennial girlfriend does not talk like that nor do her friends. That’s more juvenile speech and millennials are creeping into late stage adulting at this point and past that nonsense.
Signed… GenX
Shouldn’t Gen Z know what a ‘Spicy X’ is though
(it’s everything and nothing)
Spicy X? That site sucks nowadays
Still tastes better than Da Bomb.
Spice x means everything and nothing ?
Not exactly, I think @PugJesus (brilliant username and pic BTW) means that “a spicy X” can mean a lot of different things dependent on what word “X” is
Plutonium is just spicy rocks
No bussin? Cant be Gen Z.
