I think you’ve got Gen Z and Millennials backwards.
It’s millennials trying to fit in with Gen Z to prove to themselves they’re not old.
And the Gen Z is… reading a newspaper? Nah fam, I don’t think that’s what’s going on.
You think millennials read newspapers? We are the first digital native generation. In fact, we saw the internet growing up while we grew up ourselves
Remember the internet before Facebook and Instagram? Good times. It was all Flash Games and p… Uhm, videos
I still know my ICQ number. Back when all instant messagers had open protocols and you could use one open source client for all of them.
I’m still slightly mad that everyone wanted to use AIM instead of ICQ, even though icq was better. It had offline messaging and you could change your display name, neither of which aim supported.
Anyone younger than like 30 probably has no idea that those were noteworthy features at one time. You could only send someone a message if they were actively connected at the same time as you.
I regret forgetting mine. I know it was 3965… Something. But that’s as far as I know for sure.
No I don’t think we do. I sure as hell don’t. Yes indeed, we are, and we did. That’s why I think the whole comic is bullshit, like wtf is this whole thing? Feels like some Gen X or earlier is trying out this web comic thing. I don’t even know.
Growing up? I think you mean “getting drained of any creativity or energy with age.”

No, I responded to the wrong comment, but neither one is two paragraphs
I know i’m old, i just found a new hobby: messing woth the younger generation by messing with their slang.
You know, like how grandpa called every pokeman pikachu…but on purpose.
Grandpa knew what he was doing when he called all the pokemen pikachu
pokemen
I… I think I’m having a panic attack.
Right? Everyone knows the correct plural form of “pokemon” is “pokemons”.
Nah, it’s 2020s, the proper term is pokepersons.
I spit out my drink.
No, no, it’s okay. It’s just a stroke.
I mess with my zoomer children all the time: bruh, no cap, on god, sus/sussy, my guy.
They mostly roll their eyes, but I do enjoy it.
My favorite is on cap, no god.
Fr no cap ong
ong
Oh, (there is) no god?
This is the way
I definitely enjoyed that xD
Yeah no millennial is doing that to fit in/not feel old, at best they’re doing that to be annoying/make fun of the crazy slang.
It’s very incredibly lit, fam.
On Satan, for real no caps
We used to make fun of comic books for making up slang that hilariously no one would ever use, then gen z came along.
Right? We used to be like “this is written like how some 60 year old executive thinks kids these days talk … nobody talks like this we just talk normally…”
Like the boomers were better with saying grok. No I dont care that it comes from a Heinlein book.
Used to make fun mullets and mustaches too.
Looks pedo to me, not gonna change.
Used to make fun mullets
Definitely used to do this. I still do, but I also used to.
I have updated the comic for fairness.
That edit made my day.
one of gen Z’s favorite hobbies is making up fictional versions of the rest of gen Z to get mad at
How is this millennial lingo?
Proper millennial lingo:
More of a motto, really.
Because everyone under 25 is a millennial. There is no other generation between or after genX and millennials.
> 50 = boomer < 25 = millennial
For everything else, there’s MasterCard
Aren’t millennials in their 30’s?
Closer to 40 than 30, at this point
Time keeps on slippin
Because everyone under 25 is a millennial
Nope.
(I advise to check e.g. Wikipedia on this matter)
I know sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet but come on. Do I really have to add the /s to my post for you to get that I was being facetious?
It’s not.
As a millennial I have no idea what that person is saying.
On God. Fr fr, no cap on the rizz with a lizz until I jizz. Yeet!
Finna
Groovy.

Groovy has a certain ironic twang to it these days that makes it work. Like Rad.
Nice mullet bro. Reminds me of my rad dad in the early 90s.
I would assume big spicy boi is a big shit. I am a millennial. Guess this makes no sense.
If someone said there is a spicy boy in the kitchen, I would assume there is a live grenade or an angry feral cat there
I’m a Gen Z with a millennial girlfriend, and she doesn’t talk anything like that. In fact- I have never heard anyone talk like that.
As a millennial I’ve never heard any millennial talk like that either.
I’m a millennial… I use some of these words…
She was referring to poo clogging the toilet. I have no clue why the last frame is a house fire.
The oldest millenials are in their 40s. Who is drawing these things?
Boomers, or millennials with boomer energy. Really anyone that wants to shit on “the youth”
Wait, does Gen Z even read newspapers? Totally blew away my suspension of disbelief.
Each generation does something to spite the previous. Gen Z reads the papers ironically.
Eh I don’t mind if they do that?
The problem: it’s The Sun (take your pick of regional version), the only newspaper that Gen Z can afford.
I didn’t say its a bad thing. It’s just a constant across generations.
Hipsters brought back vinyl records, I could see them doing the same for papers
They would have the Pennysaver, the WSJ, that local paper made by someone with a trust fund who practices “real” journalism, or some anti-government conspiracy “paper” made at Kinko’s.
Newspapers are going the way of the dodo.
USE ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, THIS ISNT THE TIME FOR DUMB INTERNET TALK
“I don’t remember askin you a godamn thing”
Sooo… Millennials talk like lolcats?
Um… I always took that to mean positive slang describing a person. I don’t think I’d use those words for an actual fire. I’d be just a tiny bit more direct.
“Excuse me, I’d hate to bother you, but the other room over there seems to be just slightly on fire… Uh yes… The whole thing…”
Whats funny is that as soon as I read big spicy boi i knew exactly what it was. High key vibed with that tbh. Big relate. Mans got me dead.
90% of “boi” I’ve heard was from gen-z people
You must be one of those grandpa 40 year old millenials 😒
You missed by a year, but how does that change the zoomers I’m hanging out with?
Edit: wait, could I be one of “that 20yo millenials” in 2023? I’m the millenialest you can get!
I thought it was a spider. I don’t know why, just assumed it was something scary and animate.
I don’t believe an actual person made this.
I might believe a gen x’er was paid some money by a boomer to create the art and the dialog was filled in by a “the AI.”
If this WAS created by a person then I’d like to see them tried for war crimes.
Who the fuck are these millennials who allegedly talk like this?
Do it like normal people: text
