I can't stand this shit. I've been actively using the internet since the 90's and I've always been able to understand everything. But now zoomers are using these cryptic fucking words, and I don't know why.
Even when I google the meaning, why is saying "r/whooosh" better than "you missed the point of the joke"? Are they just too lazy, or are they just scared to be flatly honest and have to mask everything in irony and jokes so that backlash can't hurt them?

Even when I google the meaning, why is saying "lol" better than "laugh out loud"? Are they just too lazy, or are they just scared to be flatly honest and have to mask everything in irony and jokes so that backlash can't hurt them? Even when I google the meaning, why is saying "rofl" better than "rolling on the floor laughing"? Are they just too lazy, or are they just scared to be flatly honest and have to mask everything in irony and jokes so that backlash can't hurt them? Even when I google the meaning, why is saying "baited" better than "you have been coaxed into a snafu"? Are they just too lazy, or are they just scared to be flatly honest and have to mask everything in irony and jokes so that backlash can't hurt them?

You make a good point, but you missed what I was trying to say. The examples I gave are used to insult other people with the least amount of effort and information possible
Well I guess I'll leave this thread then since it's clear that I'm too old for this place
Aiden Gonzalez
lol off yourself
Aaron Cox
>cranky out of touch boomer is buttmad he can't understand the internet lingo anymore. How is this any different from "based" or "kek"? Why don't you let the kids enjoy the internet, grandad?
Luke Roberts
It's just reddit lingo, you have no problem processing Jow Forums buzzwords like 'zoomer', eh?
Dominic Hall
ya, that's gonna be a YIKES for me
Jonathan Davis
That's gonna be a yikes from me, dawg. r/woooosh to the max
Owen Lopez
>tfw 32 and know every one of these they aren't cryptic at all, you're out of touch
William Carter
>I'm too old for this place Actually it seems like you're too lazy and jaded, but whatever helps you sleep at night user.
Lucas Gray
Hey gramps what are you doing here
Easton Edwards
These retards give you so much material to rant on and THIS is what you choose to bitch about? >t. Grandpa retard.
Benjamin Fisher
I agree with you.
Although I have to admit, using the word "irony" to describe simple sarcasm makes you sound like one of the fucking zoomers you're so angry about
Jose Jackson
The real irony is that OP is complaining about zoomers while misusing the word "irony" the same way that zoomers do.
Kevin Thomas
dont worry OP its just zoomers not realizing how cringe they're being. happens with every generation. this dialect is the bee's knees to them, they think its a triumph of e-cool so theyre gonna be using it for a while until something even worse comes along.
Brandon Miller
Why are older generations always such obnoxious autists about not understanding something that can be looked up in 5 seconds?
Jack Thompson
right? i'm literally dead rn unironically, oof. there just jealous because they cant make jokes like we can haha i wanna die so bad tho my sides xD
Nolan Turner
Shut up you fucking stain
Nathaniel Harris
It makes them feel superior to make themselves seem ignorant. They simultaneously think the language is below them and not worth learning and also blame it for their complete lack of effort in understanding it. I admit I have a hard time getting teen culture but I'm not butthurt about it, I don't blame them for my not giving a fuck enough to look into it, I don't interact with teens so it isn't relevant to me
Evan James
people are a borg and saying something like yikes symbolizes their adherence to the modern taste, without needing any justification, even the idea of a justifying your opinions goes too far because seriousness is considered out of place
tldr zoomer groupies always want to fit in and be "funny"
i can understand the sentiment though. at the end of the day nothing you say on the internet will have an impact on anything.
Nicholas Jenkins
Fuck off, zoomer. Go play the Fortnites and the Mining Crafts.
Levi Carter
I know what you mean. Why can't people just speak normally anymo- >zoomer >irony Fuck off.
part of the developmental process. they're experiencing the schism between themselves, society, and the authoritative figures in their lives for the first time. the first response is to hide away and allow themselves to heal from the damage, which is a very sensitive time for them. they are nearly unreachable during this period except by trustees like their closest age-related peers. they lash out at everyone else but in a way that tries to hide their weaknesses, because they feel wronged by those who tried to shape them (even if it was in their best interest). when they get a little older, get used to the college grind and such, most of them tend to grow up eventually.
most of them.
this has been your nightly Jow Forums PSA, thanks

"Woosh" is an XKCD reference. Thats more of a boomer webcomic (webcomics are more of a boomer thing anyways)
Nolan Young
Yeah this shit is the pinnacle of turbo-faggot culture and I immediately think less of anyone who types like that
Ryder Mitchell
>"Woosh" is an XKCD reference No it's fucking not
Adam Jones
Minecraft hasn't been popular to zoomers since 2013, fuck off.
