I remember building coffins for my Lego minifigures and pretending red food coloring was blood and then thinking if I ever saw a unicorn in real life, I would kill it and this was in 2012 btw 😂
i wrote a story turning my family in to super hero's and my older brother was the villain. kids push the envelope. always have. it's just that the bas line has changed.
@@bob1986 my elementary took the barny theme and gave it lyrics about killing him. i think the very childish tone of barney just didn't sit right with kids who were getting old enough to not want to associate with children's programming anymore. it was very hard to find shows then that were for kids and didn't treat the audience like they were stupid.
our school had ‘I hate you, you hate me, let’s team up and kill Barney with a one shot, two shot, three shot, four, no more purple dinosaur.’ i guess we all just hated barney for some reason.
This unlocked a memory for me that I forgot I had!… we’d go on to sing “Don’t worry about the body, we flushed it down the potty, and around and around it goes…”
Lmao, that was actually kind of funny. I just imagine a ton of kids sitting together, brainstorming those lyrics and thinking they've got a total banger 😂
Which nursery rhyme is that?! ✋😭 I thought you were gonna mention something like rockabye baby or or something along the lines of that so now I'm genuinely curious lol
This is exactly what I would expect a group of kids to do. They like the shock value and always want to see how far they can push things. Nothing to worry about.
Ngl, as a gen z I can totally see younger me writing something like that. I'm in my 20s now, songwrite as a hobby, and love using body horror metaphors in my lyrics.
I'm also gen z and wrote a song as a kid, but my song as about my dog being on a leash to the tune of Another One Bites the Dust. (An interactive journal told me to write a song and I looked up and saw my mom leading my dog outside for a walk.) I am now 20 and incapable of consuming horror content without having a mental breakdown. I also songwrite as a hobby, but I mostly write songs pertaining to my fandoms. In fact, just last January, I wrote a song from the POV of a cartoon dog. I just love dogs so much. Anyway, I think it all depends on whether or not someone is a horror fan, and maybe gen alpha has more horror fans due to the internet desensitizing them young.
@@rowan404 I've actually been writing fandom songs too! Particularly about a shooter game I've been fixated on. The funny thing about desensitization for me was as a kid, I frequently borrowed medical books from my local library... I recall one particular book about the history of medicine, which had some pretty detailed images and descriptions about how surgery worked in the ancient times, heart transplants, etc... I was fascinated but slightly traumatized. The 1 thing that really affects me is supernatural stuff (ghosts, demons etc), things you can't simply shoot with a gun or cure with medicine.
This feels very normal for kids in general, but as a gen z-er who was still pretty early on in my development when many of the scary things happened, I’m so greatful I’m not gen alpha. My little cousin is gen alpha (one of the older members) and he doesn’t really remember anything pre c19. These kids have known nothing but terror and fear, so these fears aren’t unfounded.
Ngl everyone did the same things as children. Playing with boundaries of what’s normal or acceptable is what we all do. So long as they aren’t actually doing something seriously wrong like racism or sexism, it’s just part of them growing as people. I know I did the same goofy things in middle school thinking it was the funniest thing ever like the parody of Barney
We had a great art teacher in 7th grade. Taught us how to draw perspective, but let us draw anything we wanted. Most of the boys drew tanks, rockets, UFOs, aliens, monsters, volcanos and Godzilla. We all learned perspective. Also made tie-dyed shirts. Best class ever in middle school.
As a GenZ who sometimes watched Happy Friends as a 4-year-old cuz I thought it was funny and my parents weren't seeing, I think this passes as 'Kids are creepy sometimes'
I remember in 6th grade one of the science projects was to come up with the story behind whatever constellation you were assigned. Almost every single one involved murder or something gruesome. Im 20 now for reference. I feel like the gruesome stuff is kinda a normal things for kids to talk about honestly.
The funniest part of this is the fact that the lyrics have a coherent rhythm and they’re not just a bunch of funny sentences strung together. Kids got a future
Recently, I helped teach a summer class that consisted of Gen Alphas. On first day, they managed to find an abandoned baby doll on the playground and they named it Alberto. They created a backstory and drew pictures of him on the computers (It was a digital arts class). Then the Alphas proceeded to throw around and violently dismember Alberto. The dismembered parts were then used for various purposes such as: playing cornhole, hiding them around the playground, and being set on top of the computers as grotesque decorations.
Gen z here, when I was a kid I wrote a song called "Worms" about being eaten from the inside out by metaphorical worms representing guilt. Their just being kids
The barney parodies, the “Abcdefg gummy bears are chasing me”, heck, we loved shows like Flap Jack, Chowder, billy and mandy, kids have always loved stuff like this
That's hilarious! It might be an gen alpha thing indeed. My son is 5yo and also loves to compose his songs. It's as scary as this one! At least I'm not alone!😂
ngl this reminds me of what we did in one of my classes: we did telephone but with writing a story about our principal bringing a bulldog to school. i wrote south park characters uprising, the bulldog throwing a knife at the pc and hitting a grandma, the grandma and dog turn into naruto, etc. IT GO SO VIOLENT but it was us kids being silly 😂
All generations all like this actually 😭 it’s just that a VERRRYY long time ago kids used to be dumb and education was hard to get. That probably started the whole standard of “kids should be clueless”
A Christmas carol me and my deranged elementary classmates made, I still remember to this day 😂 Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis, through the hills we go, crashing into trees! The snow is turning red, I think im almost dead, I wake up in the hospital with stitches In my head! Oh, 911, 911 that man has a gun.
The only thing that it was missing was a couple of gyatts, glizzys and a skibidi rizz goonmaxxing Ohio-style sesh to make it on the Billboard Hot 100 😂😂😂😂
That's just the same kids thinking edgy things are cool routine that I did as a kid except these kids are obviously more creative. I hear Gary the Bird and think "wow, our future is looking bright"
