I don’t think being cringe really exists when it comes to kids. They are developing into who they are/will be.
Adults on the other hand like myself I could say can be, because we are supposed to(according to culture) have figured out who we are, so when we do something out of place it is an attention seeking act that went poorly often times. So when I say a bad joke, I can come across as cringy, or even me trying to explain myself here can come across as cringy. But kids, we need to cut them a lot more slack. We shouldn’t be punching down on adults either, but if we start by supporting those kids finding themselves maybe it’ll grow with time and eventually maybe anyone can say something dumb and not feel like they should shove their head in the sand, but rather feel safe in their own insecurity and be supported by people around them.
Love for those feeling insecure may be the change they needed to not lash out negatively, whether against themselves or others.
Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was niche talk

Not to mention “barley in middle school”
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.

Ratio’d isn’t even GenZ but Millenial, right?
Ratio’d is probably more Twitter slang than anything.
Am millennial, have never heard ratio’d before
I think it’s more twitter slang. Sure it can be applied elsewhere. But I’ve mostly heard it used regarding twitter posts.
For the uninitiated, to be “ratio’d” means you had more comments than likes.
Because there are no downvotes on Twitter, being radio’d is synonymous with a shit take.
i am millennial but i did hear it before. on the line.
Ty suka gyat, they stealing our slang!

this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right
no, it’s boomer
Son, let me tell you a story about how back in my day I got ratio’ed on the twier
Aren’t Gen alpha still young children? Their slang is a little too new to have much staying power yet.

The oldest gen alphas are in kindergarten

2020 was only 4 years ago. They’re 4.
Gen alpha stared 2010, not 2020
That means only 10 years on zoomers. That’s ridiculous.
Well, slightly less ridiculous given the repeal of Roe V Wade and the number of 10 year olds now giving birth, but still!
Gen Z is from late 1990s through 2010, about 15 years, just like the other generations
