GenZ Slangs


Millennial slangs walked so GenZ slangs could run! We bet you didn't know about these GenZ slangs! Check them out.

Ever since TikTok and Instagram Reels came into existence, we got so much to learn from the internet. We learn new things almost every day and try to use them in our day-to-day lives and there has been a friendly but sometimes very serious fight between Boomers, Millennials, and GenZs and in the end, they're just dragging each other and there's no point because let's be honest here GenZs rule right? According to GenZs like me, boomers are just old people and millennials are middle-aged people with middle-life crises. They too have some slangs and phrases of their own but we can all agree they are boring AF and our Genz slangs hit different (AF-don't worry, you'll learn).

Slangs are something you don't learn but soak, it is exactly like soaking a vibe. Slangs like main character energy, vibe check, and bet are some of the most famous GenZ slangs on TikTok and Instagram. They're also very helpful for a comeback; usually, millennials would say "Go get a life!" but a better comeback would be "Go and touch some grass!" It just adds insult to injury. But but but, if you're GenZ and you still don't know some of these slangs, fam, go and touch some grass!
