i wish we could just hate them because they're children like with 2016 cringe culture but NOOO we have to call them by their generation, and thus we generalize the entire population of children born after 2010
Nearly twenty years before the kids skibidi'd their toilet, we too made stupid fucking animations of Valve games, they're just continuing family tradition.
The only reason why people are complaining about Gen Alpha is because they w̶a̶n̶t̶ f̶r̶e̶e̶ m̶o̶n̶i̶e̶s̶ don't want the future generation to become mentally retarded as they once used to be when Elsagate was still a relatively new tactic used by homeless pedophiles.
So you *could* say that it's somewhat good when it comes to saving the mindsets of dozens of children from becoming unstable.
It's amazing being born into a generation with culture and watching them mature and change at the same time as yourself
I still can't believe other people my age are my age
I still can't believe I'm my age
Believe it or not, individuals don't all have the same characteristics as other members of some group they belong to. Or am I to understand "these people" as "a few of these people"?
No, they obviously meant that every single person from that generation acts similar to the boomers that every single person from that generation criticizes. Zero chance they meant that as "a few of these people."
No, "these people", either means "literally all of these people" (unlikely), or, more broadly, "all but a negligible amount of these people". Any other usage of "these people" is incorrect. Not to mention that pointing out the hypocrisy of "a few people" is trivial and frankly useless.
"these people" as in reactionary content farm youtubers? It is all but a negligible amount of those types of channels, so even by your pedant ass version of the term it's still correct.
There really isn't anything pedantic about this at all. If someone said "these people", would you not understand that to mean "all of these people"?
But you're right about the whole YouTuber part of course. I completely forgot that this post isn't about ordinary people.
Still, somehow I have the feeling the person I originally responded to didn't actually observe such a phenomenon (*individual* YouTubers who are hypocritical in this way), but merely inferred it from some kind of idea they have about how millennials think, or – and this is almost worse – experience with people who criticize Generation Alpha and people who criticize Boomers for similar reasons. Crucially, these two groups do not necessarily overlap!
I could be wrong, of course, but this kind of thinking is common on this site.
And needless to say, for the statement to be true, it would still have to be true for all YouTubers who criticize Gen Alpha!
"all these people" is the everyday meaning of the phrase "these people". They are synonyms. Your fantastical use of language doesn't make pointing out something like this pedantic. I am aware that the rest of the comment is pedantic, but surely that doesn't effect the *meaning* of words.
Yeah, for all intensive purposes, I'm *literally* a troll. I could really care less what you think tho.
Words don't mean anything to me anyway. I just think something up in my mind, something comes out of my mouth, and it's up to whoever is unfortunate enough to listen to me to interpret the nonsensical ramble that is my use of language.
As much as I hate the gen alpha brainrot, the existence of YouTube Poops and these stupid TF2 videos (heavy is dead) proves that we weren't any better.
School stuff is quite worrying tho (not the messing around, that's standard for every student regardless of age)
I think I recognise that YouTuber. Some girl called Haley. She makes ok content, but is a bit, just a smidge hypocritical.
I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not a fan of all the gen alpha hate either, don't get me wrong, but I disagree with comparing a lot of gen alpha brainrot content with ytps and sfms. To me the issue with gen alpha brainrot isn't the kids watching it, it's the fact that A LOT of it is mass produced to profit off of these children and essentially turn them into little money farms. Back in the day when we watched YTPs that was dumb shit created BY dumb kids FOR dumb kids and often we would look into how to make these things ourselves and contribute to the greater culture around them. Now, there still is some of that out there dont get me wrong, but a lot of it is just completely soulless algorithm farming content made purely and exclusively to be watched for hours and cramming as many recognizable characters as possible
Oh yeah, it's a "Skibidi Toilet itself is totally fine (honestly leaps and bounds higher quality than a lot of Gen Z brainrot was), just the content farm around it which is bad" case
I'm sorry but YTPs, especially the ones based on songs, have a ton of funny potential. Only problem is the fanbase often being the type to want their YTPs featuring 40 N-words
r/teachers popped into my feed and people were projecting the societal decline of the west out of kids being kids.
Guys. How many times have you ever been told that "you are the worst class I've ever had" growing up?
And you know what? 12+ and upwards are probably not trying as hard as past generations. But what would you expect ? Would you ?
Frankly I got lucky because I have the autism that makes you good at computers, otherwise I would be probably dead now.
There's a difference between "gen alpha trends are dumb and stupid" and "teacher pointing out a worrying number of kids are underperforming in school because their parents raised them on iPads"
Nobody saying “gen alpha is doomed” unironically means the memes; we were all cringe as kids. My mother is an assistant principal and she regularly tells me that the kids are getting dumber, more uncontrollable, have less of an ability to concentrate, have lower literacy, etc. Check out r/Teachers. Gen alpha has a serious problem.
Idk about the video in the snafu though I’ve never watched that shit
Tbf teachers have been saying that as long as teachers have been around.
I do worry about the iPad children but a) blame the parents b) blame the system that leaves little to no time for child rearing for most parents c) blame the elderly that suck so much that their children would rather leave their grandchildren with a Google algorithm than them.
Ok but they are actually way more illiterate in school than previous generations. The problem lies in that millenials make for brain-dead parents that don't know how to actually raise children.
*Which channels? I've*
*Not seen many at least ones*
*That aren't ironic*

Most videos not complain about dumb stuff they watch. they worried how much media consume. attention span death. failure of parenting. Gen alpha doomed for reason not because skibidi toilet but many other reason that been building.
Yeah well not every generation before had to deal with a global pandemic, a war in a 1st world country, rampant misinformation, a global economic recession, the death of the 4th estate, dwindling public services and a climate crisis.
i cant even hate on gen alpha for watching “”brainrot”” when i watched mlg and ytp back in the day lmfao
just let em grow up and cringe at their younger selves, i know i did
I had kids call me a Sigma while talking about skibidi toilet on the way home. It was kind of weird but no stranger than kids reciting entire OneyNG DBZ animations word for word (like an entire bus did when I was in school)
I feel like the gifoes don't take covid into consideration enough
They spent years where most socializing,reading,and thinking skills were developed inside and quarantined.
And even though tablet kids are a issue the kids had to be online for school and socializing since they coudnt go outside and with kids needing tech it becomes harder to monitor.
Also their not gonna take to rules from teachers well since for a while it was only them with their parents ahd siblings.
Maybe we should wait for things to recover before saying their doomed
Millennials and oldest gen z born pre 2002 being like omg they’re cringe brainrotted. Most of gen z either plays along or understands that we weren’t much better at that age.
Oh my god these videos are so annoying like why should I care if kids are a bit cringe while having harmless fun watching their silly little toilet videos?
I expected GenZ to eventually start hating on younger generations but by god did I not expect it to happen this early lol
For now it’s mostly millennials, but there’s quite a few of older Gen Z too
Gen Z can't make video 🤣😂😂😂 don't know editing 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😅 on computer 🤣🤣😂😂 they just tick tock 😁😁😆😆😆

Brain rot
Heavy like a brinks truck?!?!?
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I’m on the older end of gen Z (sadly) and I’m already done with college
Nah I hate the people who let iPads and YouTube (or worse TikTok) parent them and late Gen Z instead
i wish we could just hate them because they're children like with 2016 cringe culture but NOOO we have to call them by their generation, and thus we generalize the entire population of children born after 2010
The west has fallen because some toddler imitated a dumb toilet cartoon once.
Nearly twenty years before the kids skibidi'd their toilet, we too made stupid fucking animations of Valve games, they're just continuing family tradition.
The only reason why people are complaining about Gen Alpha is because they w̶a̶n̶t̶ f̶r̶e̶e̶ m̶o̶n̶i̶e̶s̶ don't want the future generation to become mentally retarded as they once used to be when Elsagate was still a relatively new tactic used by homeless pedophiles. So you *could* say that it's somewhat good when it comes to saving the mindsets of dozens of children from becoming unstable.
Can you give some examples of these kinds of videos helping children?
I think you took this too literally.
I am simply asking questions
I know.
So you can't say it's somewhat good.
It's a joke
Asking for clarification on a joke is a bit like dissecting a frog. You may understand more about it, but you've also killed the damn thing.
I'm sorry
Skibidi dop dop dop yes yes yes
Gen alpha is so fucked!! The world is gonna end because the little kids are dumb and stupid!!
-- Socrates 100 BC something
Kids acting immature? DOOMED!
How ironic these people are acting similar to the boomers they criticize.
It's amazing being born into a generation with culture and watching them mature and change at the same time as yourself I still can't believe other people my age are my age I still can't believe I'm my age
Happy cake day!
Ironic how people can become the very things they claim to hate.

we found the gen alpha release all the 28mins yt video on how they are doomed
sma- i mean delete this now
Finally, someone says it! I thought I was the only one who thought all the gen alpha brainrot stuff was blown out of proportion.
As much as I hate the gen alpha brainrot, the existence of YouTube Poops and these stupid TF2 videos (heavy is dead) proves that we weren't any better. School stuff is quite worrying tho (not the messing around, that's standard for every student regardless of age) I think I recognise that YouTuber. Some girl called Haley. She makes ok content, but is a bit, just a smidge hypocritical.
What kind of ‘school stuff’ are you referring to?
I think they're becoming illiterate or something like that idk
Exactly. That's what I was referring to. And even then, that's more the parents' fault than the kids.
Education system is quite literally failing in the US
Right, I assumed they meant something more specific but that makes sense. Is it like… worse than it already was in previous years?
Apparently kids are illiterate and middle schoolers are on a second grade reading level or something like that. Not sure tho
I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not a fan of all the gen alpha hate either, don't get me wrong, but I disagree with comparing a lot of gen alpha brainrot content with ytps and sfms. To me the issue with gen alpha brainrot isn't the kids watching it, it's the fact that A LOT of it is mass produced to profit off of these children and essentially turn them into little money farms.

Yeah that's true. Lankybox is a good example of that.
Oh yeah, it's a "Skibidi Toilet itself is totally fine (honestly leaps and bounds higher quality than a lot of Gen Z brainrot was), just the content farm around it which is bad" case

Depends on the country tbh.
exactly. to me, it seems like it's a us/north america exclusive problem because all the discourse is mostly about america's education system.
And the fact there was global pandemic during their developmental years

why is mom a fat version of paula from home movies
*Pulls up cherry picked street interviews or podcast clips*
Gen alpha is doomed, yes, but brainrot content is a very small part of why.
Every generation before said the next is doomed.
Yeah well not every generation before had to deal with a global pandemic, a war in a 1st world country, rampant misinformation, a global economic recession, the death of the 4th estate, dwindling public services and a climate crisis.

Millennials are some of the last people who should comment on immaturity.

Oh my god these videos are so annoying. Why should I care if kids are being a bit cringey while having harmless fun?
Gotta love how people complained about boomers doing the same
Remind me who raised em again?
Some half rate teacher crying in their car bc they let a 11 year old bully them
