GEN Z LINGO UPDATE
This list will probably already be outdated by the time we update it but we’re still going to try our best to spill all the tea for you before it becomes lukewarm. Believe us mamas, nothing will make you feel more lost or irrelevant than listening to what the Gen Z kids are talking about (or texting about, or posting on Tik Tok, more likely). If you ever wish to feel your age, speaking to a Gen Z teen is the way to go. Don't get salty if we get it right.Psst! Do your teens sound like they’re speaking a foreign language? We spill the tea on all the new Gen Z urban slang terms that your teens and tweens are using today (we hope these are still in). Will you do well on this Generation Z vocabulary test? Answer these questions and we'll give you your age. Most of Generation Z are too cool to even say "Bae" anymore, because you know, that's for old people. Generation Z is made up of people who were born in 1995 to 2010, so it ranges from people just out of college starting in the workforce to 8-year-old kids who are playing tag in their backyard. Generation Z has slang so new that they even look at Generation Y as people that don't understand what they are talking about. What was once the coolest generation of all are now a bunch of parents of teenagers, and when parents of teenagers try to use slang to sound hella cool, it's a total fail. One of the funniest things about each generation is that each one thought they were so much cooler than the one before, until another generation comes along to take their place. When it comes to the different generations that are still kicking around, we basically have the Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials (who are also known as Generation Y) and now of course we have Generation Z.
