Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with "XD :3 ><" and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. "UwU" is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)

I like to think >.< And :3 lives on, but it's only furries at this point isn't it. As a cat I will take :3 to my grave

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

worry not, it's furries and a lot of submissive people

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

Not a furry, still use :3

I have three cats though

I'll buy that for a dollar.

It does feel like the same kinda gibberish my buddies and I were spouting in our heyday, just evolved

The G.I. Joe videos and strongbad. But I am le tired.

It was us man. We were there

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

it was moderately post ironic for us, when we used it. It went from being a once in a while thing just to add some additional slang. To a post hyper irony period where the joke is that the words we used dont make any sense and have no meaning, therefore you can just do that with EVERY word.

It brings me joy to hear someone call them emoticons.

I can hear the nightcore coming from this image.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 31 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Nightcore is an edgy as fuck name for just being the chipmunk-ification of any given song.

I was so disappointed when teenage me discovered that.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 12 points 6 days ago

Being a little cringe always brings joy to our faces, though

Once again, Gen X is skipped. Whatever.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 24 points 6 days ago (3 children)

they leave gen x out because they always show up in the comments. sadly the gen x tradition. representation through solidarity in underexposure. :(
