Gen Alpha's slang is breaking millennial parents' brains 每 and they thought gen Z was bad!

Millennials have barely recovered from Gen Z throwing words like 'slay' and 'rizz' at them, and now Gen Alpha has arrived to make things even messier. The language gap is growing at an alarming rate, and parents are struggling to decode this chaotic dictionary that seems to change overnight.

Millennials vs. Gen Alpha: The battle of the slang continues

For Dallas mom Jen Kim, 38, keeping up with her 10-year-old niece Avery's vocabulary is like learning a new dialect. When Avery called a set of colored pencils 'slay,' Kim understood it meant 'good'〞small victories! But when her husband confidently declared that he had 'rizz' (aka charisma), Avery shut him down with an unimpressed glare. To add to the insult, she labeled him 'omega'〞the lowest ranking in an imaginary status hierarchy. Ouch.

Meanwhile, middle school teacher Philip Lindsay claims his students use more than two dozen new slang terms in a single week. ※One second, 'sigma' means cool, and the next, 'skibidi' is either an insult or a compliment, depending on the vibe,§ he shared.

Are you a 'gigachad' or an 'omega'?

The madness doesn't stop there. Parents scrolling through social media or eavesdropping on their kids' conversations have been left clueless by words like 'gigachad'〞an ultimate alpha male with peak masculinity〞or 'mewing,' a technique for defining the jawline. Boston mom Cecilia Hermawan admitted to frantically Googling these words just to understand what her kids were talking about.

Then there's Sharon Blanchet, 78, who was hit with the ultimate generational reality check when her granddaughter casually mentioned 'homie hopping'〞when someone dates a friend's ex. Blanchet was floored, admitting that she felt like a relic in an entirely new social world.

Some parents, like startup founder Carleen Haylett, have given up altogether. ※I just put my AirPods on so I don't have to hear it,§ she confessed.

With Gen Alpha in charge of the lingo now, one thing is clear〞millennials are officially irrelevant, and no amount of 'rizz' can save them.
