I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now
So, translated: “I don’t even care about Jujutsu Kaisen, but those AMVs using phonk music and Toji scenes are bloody amazing”.
And uh, today I’ve realised I can instantly recognise anime references but I had to websearch what’s some “ivy league”.
I just checked it. I got no money so I’m donating feelings. (I hope things get better!)
I wonder how they’d feel about AMV Hell.
Your knowledge is so great. Also what is Ivy league???
Wikipedia says it’s some athletic conference of private unis in USA. Apparently the unis in the league are really important; it’s like having a term to refer to people who graduated in ENS-PSL, or the Polytechnique, or Paris-Saclay. (From your profile you’re from France, right? I’m kind of adapting the situation.)
Blasphemy! I am not from france but switzerland! (just kidding I am not upset about it)
I get the comparaison with Polytechnique
Sorry! I’m glad you got it though.
I’m happy to say I actually knew all of these. Except for Toji but it was clear from context that they’re a character from JJK.
I applaud your fluency in young-people-speak.

Anime Music Video. It’s exactly what that sounds like.
started giggling at layer 2. lost it and had to recompose myself at layer 5. How deep does it go?
Oh, I just assumed those were just made up words…I’m not even 30…
Now that tiktok is going to be an oligarch-owned right wing outlet, can we revert away from Gen Z pidgin?
I never used tiktok in my life and knew all of this. It just became normal internet slang (I’m 22 btw)
Gen Z/Gen Alpha slang is interesting linguistically
Also there’s been a trend of older generations hating on the slang of younger generations for hundreds of years, and I guess you got caught up in the older part
It isn’t just slang; people often hate any sort of language change. Cue to the Appendix Probi, written in the fourth century; the whole list boils down to “write this, not that” because the new generations of the times were saying stuff like
and writing it as such! (Those examples are specially fun once you look at the Romance languages.)
It hasn’t happened to me yet. I literally edited AMVs of Evangelion to System of a Down in iMovie on a gen1 iMac back in high school, but I can still understand the kid’s slang alright. I don’t think that everyone become a curmudgeonly generation hater as they age.
I never said it’s everyone, I just said there’s a trend of it happening, sorry if you misunderstood what I meant
I don’t think you said that either, just musing.
Absolutely, and you don’t even have to understand it to not be an ass about younger generations doing what every generation does.
I had no idea what the fuck the “younger gf” part was saying until I read the translation. But I’ve just accepted that I’m not young and cool anymore, and that’s okay.
There are way more important things happening in the world to get mad about than some people not using the same words and phrases that I grew up with.
fr if genz boomer shit has L rizz we use skibidi gen alpha slang
I’m 26 and this helped a lot, thank you
… There were words there?
I thought fw was an email thing…
I think I need a nice cup of tea and a sit down
What you’re likely thinking about is “FWD:”, which is something that usually comes up in an email’s title whenever that email is being forwarded to you.
and ‘fw’ to me means firewall. I’m tired and my body hurts all the time.
