“unalive myself” “grippy socks visit to the hospital” “corn addicts” talk like a fucking grown up. seriously.
“Gen z slang came about by cowtowing to algorithms made by large corporations and ad execs, that is SO PUNK compared to millenial slang which is about being individually unique.”
Modern “punks” have no idea what punk stands for. In other, more surprising news, water is wet. More on this at 11.
Seriously though, kids these days are so eager to lick boot and call it rebellion. If you say unalive instead of kill because you’ll lose your funding, congratz, you let them censor you. “They'lltake away our revenue!” And? Rebellion comes with consequences, change is a fight, protecting your values comes at a cost.
If you never pull at the leash, it doesn’t matter how much you bark, you’re still going where they want you to.
What Gen Z slang didn’t get from corporations they stole from AAVE so idk if I’d call appropriated language and marketting bullshit punk actually
(to be fair, Millennials also stole from AAE. generations have done that, at this point. but Censorship Slang is still decidedly Not Great)
All valid points but can we just circle back to the “grippy socks hospital visit” comment.
Do the kids not know that you get the grippy socks for ANY in-patient hospital stay???
Like, if you’re getting your appendix out they’re gonna give you the grippy socks. They’re not just for psychiatric care, they’re for people who are mobile but can’t necessarily bend down to put on slippers to get around.
Y'all, they started doing the “unalive” “grippy sock” shit so they don’t get shadow-banned or straight up suspended or banned on social media. It just kinda stuck.
