I don't get Gen Z humor (2 Viewers)

[Darkseid]

If this is indeed Gen Z that is, that's confusing in itself

Either way, my exposure to Gen Z is mostly through Stan Twitter and all the memes on social media, so although I'm kinda familiar with the terms, I don't get it? Like today I go on Twitter and find this:





Are you one of the hip kids who can casually use this lingo or are you on your way to boomerdom like me

I feel so out of place with my orders because I use full sentences

Me scrolling entire threads on Twitter not understanding a thing

 

[Minju]

I'm a gen z but I don't type like that

 

[Darkseid]

I'm a gen z but I don't type like that

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I just feel like I'm reading an alien language sometimes

That post crossed my tl earlier and I was like, "What even was the point here?" I'm getting too old for this.

I can understand it fine, and it’s occasionally funny, but speak it out loud, and you sound like a tryhard
ngl a lot of online convos on twt esp are weird,,, especially with the obsession of calling everyone bestie
that’s just please stop, it gives me the mental image of a fourth grade girl who sucks up to adults and all your friends but who passively aggressively hates you for no reason trying to provoke you

Yeah. I sometimes don't understand them. I just stick to the good old english.

Here's another memo from Gen Z: Don't use this emoji --> 😂

For details see

Sorry, millennials. The 😂 emoji isn't cool anymore

Bad news for people who frequently use the 😂 emoji: It is no longer cool.

That was weirdly lame....
It's a like kpop dad joke...

 

[eclipsoul]

i am considered gen z (i think) but i don't really understand this tweet either, at first i thought it was a lyric from an itzy song but then again no one gets that many likes from posting a lyric

Ouch. It's a cruel world out there. So many unwritten rules of etiquette and so many political correctness (a.k.a. wokeness) land mines.

I think you nailed it. It's a dad joke. No different from the following:

When does a joke become a dad joke? When it becomes apparent.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese.

And let me finish digging this hole with the following: 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

 

[Abeamus]

I get it but that doesn't mean it's funny

So in summary no one gets is

yeah dont do that, its kinda weird lol

just use 💀 or 🤡 instead.

 

[Mayday]

I'm joking ofc, use whatever emoji you want.

If anything 😂 is an indicator that you're older, so using it shows that you're older and potentially more mature

I'm Gen Z and my humor is batshit.
