yeah, the average ones have social anxiety. at least gen z does, if you’re gen alpha and you missed several vital years of grade school, and had an ipad given to you from the age of 4, i can’t imagine you’d be this sociable.
I have a gen alpha in my family and he’s very reminiscent of my generation, which is X. He talks to anyone, they’re just confident and sociable. They have the benefits of X grandparents like myself that realized the mistakes made with their parents and are fixing it with these kids. He also likes working already and getting paid. He works with his dad at the family business. I noticed the one kid was very focused on his future and working on it now by being homeschooled and going into competitions. Good for him! And, they weren’t at all disrespectful, wtf is this dude even talking about?? Those women walked away sad that men their own age aren’t that forward and talkative, guaranteed lol. Z and millennial kids afraid of their own shadows and offending everyone will get eaten alive by Gen Alpha. Ahhh, I can’t wait to watch it. 😂🍿
this is one of those things that doesnt really have too much to do with the generation, every generation has had the quiet shy kind and the more talktative kind, just that the view on those people were diferent, and the shyness is diferent, but i think theres going to be both shy and very expressive talkative gen alpha as much as gen z, millenial, x and what not
This kid has a lot of room to grow, he really isn't at a bad place. Sure, he's saying ironic shit unironically, but when it comes to actually listening and communicating with people he's pretty good. I think as he grows up and learns more he'll shape up into a pretty good dude, despite growing up w social media he's got a good head on his shoulders. We all learn as we grow, let kids be kids, he'll be alright.
Despite some of the words he uses (which will fade with time) he has a gnarly verbal and social iq. We need more people like this kid. He’s a funny little dude.
Bro as one of the younger millenials, I feel compelled to correct you. Most of that vocabulary was used by us way back then, but internet culture wasn't fully embraced by society. Now it's the norm. These kids will probably create their own version of cool by the time they start turning 18, 21.
the way these kids are so chill together is amazing. i used to have a friendship like that and im missing it again now. glad to see theyre enjoying life though
Oh god, I’m 13 turning 14 and I am in 8th grade but in England . The only people who picked u.p on this are 6 grade kids and below. The rest are just like gen Z, I’m in the rare Gen Zalpha
My daughter is 13 … she grew up in Virginia… yes… this is how this age range speaks. It drives me nuts and I tell her to speak correctly all the time 😂
Yeah it's a bit sad. Teenagers from 100+ years ago will not just seem like English professors now, but like they spoke an entirely different language, even though it's just plain English, but far more expressive and sophisticated.
@@Anon1gh3 dude thats for every language ☠its not more "expressive" or "sophisticated" it just sounds like that. what seems sophisticated to us was just regular talk to them language changes obviously its nothing new. you think russian kids spoke the same as russian kids in the 1900s? prolly not
As a millennial, I sorta wanna die and come back after these kids build this world. My niece is only 7 but her confidence and emotional intelligence is off the chart. They give me so much hope.
@@SciFiLink Yes, thier emotional intelligence is so high that they handle stress differently than us. When confronted with problems, they are highly resilient and collaborative. They also don't do extremes - they don't beat themselves up, stand thier ground but also don't attack others. They naturally love everyone. My niece says/writes that all the time and constantly show it in her actions.
@@SciFiLinkthey are hungry for the life, till 18, when (re)ality (artificially or not) hits. It‘s natural, every 12 years we have ups, they are 12, 13. and in betwenn we are on a low, it has to do with the planet Jupiter. So 30 is the next down, approximately, in between at arund 24 high (sexuality becoming something more than only dreams😂)… it‘s life and they are hungry for it, as it should be.
Honestly as an elder Gen Z (1999) it's so funny to me I already see Gen Z shitting on Gen Alpha and vice versa in these comments. Like we haven't learned ANYTHING from the dumb conflict with Millennials? Generations are different, have different language and slang that derives from the generation prior, "oh wow what an insane concept, I'm older therefore superior so I'm gonna shit on the new generation and continue the cycle" like seriously how many times did we hear our older generations shit on our TV shows, music, and culture because they think theirs was better, and now we're doing the same.
Imagine if a little kid walked up to you on the street to ask for directions and they naturally talk like that. 2k likes? Everyone that likes has infinite rizz
idk man phones smhones that stuffs hard to use XD feeling like an eledry man here but screw that man i gotta do a whole shebang for the goolge shmpas thing what an i a bozo? if im lost il ask around lol@@AlexisLexLexi
I currently in Summer break and i Finished 7th grade going to 8th grade After summer break ends and few kids in my class Look like they are 8 years old and some are Hecka Short like 4 feet tall
I'm getting very strong late 90's vibes from these kids. Aside from the modern day slang shit, the attitude is very much the same of simply not givin' a fuck what others think. All that's missing is these two doing kickflips.
absolutely amazing work man, you did a great job of showcasing how we may perceive the next generation as broken or whatever but in reality they're just kids living their life just like how we did when we were their age. amazing job.
I agree with you here. Though the language is odd for us who don't speak this way, I do think this way of speaking is very sincere, as paradoxical as it sounds to call it sincere.
Finally, a positive comment about how they’re speaking! I find it very interesting how much aave and other dialects have become so widespread because of the internet. And how memes gave us a new way to express our emotions
@@ifimaybuttouchhisgarmentis1618 Disclaimer: Guys don't read the bible or you might be a bit disappointed, or if you do just take the good things, ignore the bad stuff just remember it was normal back then in medieval age 👍
As a 62 year old man I found it interesting. I played golf with a 14 yo a while ago and I said something to the cart girl. He said you got rizz!! He explained to me what that meant. 😂😂😂 Every generation has their slang.
Funny thing is, generations won't even realize their own slang and mannerisms because they grew up with them and are used to them. Only once you grow into an adult and see the younger generations do you notice that every generation does indeed have their own mannerisms and slang. Though you might still not be aware of your own. :P
@@cooliostarstache5474there’s also more mental health research right now than ever so I think gen Z just has the most documented cases. People has it back then they just didn’t call it anything
the fact they actually believe in satire stuff like rizz and shawty is crazy 💀 edit: guys chill i’m not saying they aren’t things i’m jusst saying these kid shouldn’t be saying this when people usually talk about rizz and shanty in a jokey way. ik people use them literally but usually nowadays ppl say it satirically my notifs blowing up help edit2: chill please im saying they shouldn’t be saying it bc they’re kids who haven’t gone thru puberty why are they on about rizzing girls up and calling them shawty
as a gen z teenager these kids are so strange to me. is this really what milennials felt like?! i know what the slang words mean but I've never actually heard people use them irl. its just crazy weird 😭
As a millennial, yeah this is exactly what we felt when Gen Z started with their own slang. Its okay though, this happens with every generation. It'll eventually happen to them as well.
I have 3 Gen alpha's at home... they aren't THIS extra, but it's really freakin hard keeping up with their slang, slangs get old every month and you're embarassing if you say a month old slang. x.x They are extremely smart and understanding and to be honest I'm excited for the future of these kids. They know more than we could imagine at their age, wiser too.
I believe any kid even gen z kids who had access to smart stuff on the Internet at a young age were also smart or wise at that age. Like I remember when I was twelve I moved to a private school that had so many kids from wealthy families and so a lot of them were exposed to the Internet compared to the kids at my old school and so I immediately noticed a sharp contrast with how well they is understood stuff. I literally felt so dumb in my first year cause these kids talked about all kind of stuff like politics and this may be an unpopular opinion but shows on disney and cartoon network really broadened kid's views and I think that's better than just playing outside for entertainment. We played a lot too but I believe the Internet at that age is also pretty good for a child’s mental growth. Sometimes I feel like older generations are just mad at genz and gen alpha for being online too much just cause kids of these generations are much smarter than they were at that age although the Internet of course should be regulated.
@@suslarry7it's just that knowledge often comes at the price of happiness and I think you clearly see that in Gen Z. I guess people are just worried that we miss out on happy experiences while worrying about all the horrible things happening in the world.
What I've learnt as a teacher: Just listen. You're old so they're not expecting that you get anything. Unlike gen z they don't think it's CrInGy or worth mockery if you don't know what roblox is or who is this week's top influencer but when you do get those things they are usually happy and will talk to you about them. The best part of my job is being kind of well versed in some of that stuff so when I discovered that they like the backrooms I could explain what liminal spaces are and why are they scary (sans the monsters and lewd stuff). I'm a 1992 millennial and I despise how the adults when I was little would say everything was "s4tanic" or bad for the brain or corrupting young people. We would be into Pokemon or Nintendo or the Backstreet Boys and there would always be some Karen around yelling about how horrible our childhood was being because of that. I strive for children not having to go through that anymore.
Seeing these kids being so open, impartial and confident really gives me hope for the upcoming generations. Also yeah, I'm feeling quite old, like the 33 year old ass I am.
"You know Jesus?" "Yeah, i love him" This made me so happy, and seeing these kids being far more confident than i ever was at their age gives me so much hope
i swear, mog's gotta be the only verified account that actually types like a regular person, and doesn't just make cookie cutter comments like "great video! wow!" you love to see it
Im glad they refuted the callout culture attempt. They are being genuine and honest and themselves and i wish more people were real. Otherwise we are shutting down the next generation. Bring on the alphas!!! Finally!!
When the 4 foot tall kid started referring to adult women as “shawty” I lost it 😭 I’m 20 and a few months back I was hit on by a really bold 12 yr old. The confusion rendered me speechless at the time, but now I get it…..generation alpha’s just straight up insane 😂
oh no lmao. I've had some of my friends (around 17) occasionally mention they find ppl in their 20's attractive but actually going up is crazy.@@dangerzzzone2925
@@dangerzzzone2925 It makes me wonder how they'll react once they get older and realize it's not so cute anymore. The lady in the vdeo came back to him and shook his hands and he thought this is how that works cause he got "rizz". But one day women won't react this way anymore and ignore him, feeling creeped out.
Great video! These kids are awesome. Felt good to hear honesty and good hearts. They are New Yorkers, everyone's language is everyone's language....double for America! #meltingpot!!!!
Feel sad for these kids who are being shaped by a culture where sincerity and irony aren't separate anymore. Meanings of what they're saying is lost on them, but perhaps they'll learn as they grow.
You can blame Gen Z and their black little hearts for this crap. They're so insecure that they can't bring themselves to be themselves without hiding under 15 layers of irony protection, because they're so ready to just tear each other apart for being "cringe." I cannot stand that about them.
I’m glad new generation have all the confidence knowing about the world fast and aware of themselves 🥰 nothing bad will happen to them they will stand for it
gen alpha has adopted more modern humor but its gone from like pre-irony ('let him cook' originally used in a sincere way; before it became a meme) irony ('let him cook' is used as a joke) post-irony ('let him cook' is now used sincerely; by these kids for example) but its not even funny because they aren't aware of the previous ironic layer
people, please understand that this used to be us at one point, kid was born around 2011, at that time I remember saying "swag", listening to Party Rock Anthem, thinking about Minecraft and becoming a youtuber was the only thing that mattered. yet we grew up and changed. these kids are living their happiest moments and I wont discourage that.
For me, I think its great that these children are on a path to rise above the situation we have all gotten ourselves into with their masterful confidence. We can all learn something from them! Lets all let the tides turn into a blessing on earth. We are mighty!
As a person around the age of these kids, they remind me of my classmates. I believe they have acquired their vocabulary from internet memes and tiktok. Edit: Fuckkk why did this comment have to blow up Months later I see just how "cringe" this statement is.
@@Keys879and who literally don't care about his schooling and let him skip for skating LOL yeah real responsible he's going to learn how to be a functioning member of society LOL
There's definitely some New York influence there, but go be around some kids their age and you will find that they all literally and unironically talk like this.
Kids from New York are a blending pot of every race, culture, etc. I know cuz I'm one of em, I'm 22, I'd hope they represent the current generation more than anyone. These are also 2, 13 year old boys. Edit: one's 12
@@jayarikishii You meant “them” right? “Young” does not necessarily imply “woke” though. Although they could use “they/them” as a neutral, which is classic and correct English grammar regardless of modern gender theory. We have no record of Jesus identifying as non binary anyway, so in the former scenario, why would any “woke” person misgender Jesus? “He is them” does not make sense regardless. If somebody wants to misgender Jesus, or use non-binary pronouns, they would not do it in only half the sentence.
I think what’s more sad are all the comments hating on them. All they’re doing is being kids. They seem authentic and good natured as well. At least they’re more authentic than adults. It’s comments like these that ends up crushing a child’s spirit. Makes them jaded, adopt a persona where they can no longer be or express their true selves.
@@Okmanl I think that's fair and definitely true. I think most people aren't thinking the kids are going to watch this because they assume they're connected as anonymously as they are presented... but honestly it's typical "Back in my day" behavior that every generation does. Young kids don't get that though. Hopefully the children aren't pointed to this video because the video's objective does seem to point out how different they are than we probably expect (and kind of set up those kinds of comments to be made).
yeah i'm 37 and i had a friend like that kid when i was 12; acting similarly around older girls and thinking he was a player as well because he was harmless and they thought he was adorable my friend ended up being painfully closeted until like 30 though, and most of this sort of performance had likely been deflection; hope that isn't what's going on with this kid
These guys are outliers. They obviously wouldn't pick kids that aren't entertaining to watch lol. My niece and nephew are their age and they don't talk or act like this at all.
The redhead is definitely taking the piss and it's hilarious. Little man seriously has a future in comedy. They seem like wholesome, good kids and I hope to see more of em. They're funny AF.
these kids are like the 90's vibes combined with modern slang and humor. I thought it would be some cringe shit about how these kids ruined their lives before their teenage, but DAMN, was i blown away
Stop thinking the next generation is in shambles before they are even old enough to vote. It's wild how no one ever has hope for these kids when we are the ones raising them...
I was born in 97 and seeing someone who's basically an adult, born in 2005, is wild dude lol. RU-vid was just starting to be a thing when you were BORN, and I was watching Smosh, Japanese Pokemon, Numa Numa. Time flies man 😅
At first I (a millennial) was very uncomfortable, but the more I watched, the more I just became fascinated. I'd watch a whole documentary about these kids.
These guys Rock. As a Black man im hopeful of the future because of kids like these they weren't swayed by the interviewers tactics. But they are young so its pass, in sure the rizz will refine itself wif time. Focus on mastering IT
Despite all the slang, the jokes and the fuss he seemed quite sincere. I feel like there was some thought and passion behind what he was doing and saying. He is living.
As a 26 year old, and someone who considers themselves still young. This makes me feel so old. How have kids changed so much in such a short space of time?
As a 34 year old, I've been there. You get used to it. I don't feel as old as I am, and it's weird when I realize I'm as old my high school swim coach was back in the day. A tiny bit of advice I'd like to give if you don't mind is that you've reached the age where your body will start to run down and wear out if you aren't taking care of it properly. If you eat a clean diet, exercise regularly, and sleep properly you can maintain a feeling of youth and vitality as you continue growing older. Wish you the best, and good luck with all of your life's pursuits.
Its called watching mainstream media and every movie props children to be rude and overly thinking they have special powers. Its not a movie. You take the internet down these kids will turn into mice stuck in a trap. Put that on any god.
This kid just knows all the street talk and has so much confidence because he's a skateboarder. Anyone who grew up as a skateboarder knows many kids like him
I'm 46 and honestly it seems the only difference between these two and my buddy and me, back in the late 80's and early 90's., was that we didn't have millions of people watching us. This is exactly what we did everyday lol Times change people don't.
Thank you for a balanced and simple perspective. I'm only 23 but still I don't see why people struggle to accept that kids are kids, teens are teens, the slang will change but the personalities of the age bracket won't
Most of the slang that he uses has been around for decades. It’s just these suburban white people disconnected from urban culture and living in their private little bubbles
Also im not just saying that just because, I’m saying that because I’ve seen people like this in my grade and they are not that nice to the less popular kids
33 year old Millennial here, my first thoughts on this video? These are children, they haven't formed their own persona yet. Also, I don't believe we are all that different, we all tend to feel and want the same things in similar stages of our lives. True our external influences and stimulae may differ, but at the core we all think we're going to change the world in our teens, and we all think we have everything figured by our early 20s. And eventually, if we get enough wisdom, we all come to realization that the only thing we can truly hope to do is to live a gentle life, have enough to live by, and maybe if we're lucky and kind, positively impact the journey of another. Generational slang? Fashion, latest tech, media consumption...yes these are all things that shape our lives definitely, but again, at the very core, I think we all feel and want the same things, just with slightly different covers. This movement of creating labels for different groups of people, separate us more than unite us, all that's happening is generating this patronizing feeling on each other.
theyre charming, the slang is a bit weird, but its so fun to watch lol. They're just having fun, they don't need to know the 10 layers of irony behind slang and stuff hah
This just gave me war flashbacks of when us Gen Zs used to say "fail", "YOLO", "big yikes", "ded", "I can't even" , "I oop-", "yeet", "savage", "bruh" and so many others lost with time.
