I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago
The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)

Gen alpha is the reason skibidi toilet was a thing, zoomers “hate” it ironically because it’s not really any different than 2016 cod trickshot edits
I refuse to accept “gen alpha”. If Gen z is late 90s to 2000s, shouldn’t “Gen alpha” be in like fifth grade at most? Do they even count as a distinct generation yet? Are we gonna get Gen Beta in like two years?
It’s such an arbitrary and contrarian concept, just scrap the idea of namwd “generations” altogether.
The youngest millennials are like 26 (1997 is the cutoff per the idiots who came up with it). People are really jumping the gun, as the youngest gen z is like 10 years old.
It’s like the memeification of generations. Like kids that were born in 2007 saw all the zoomers distinguishing themselves from millennials and now they want in on calling people slightly older than them “boomers”.
Seriously I’m 30 how are there 2 generations with distinct media tastes fighting already behind me.

I think generations are valid, but the demarcations for the generations are terrible. They should be based on watershed moments in history of a given country. Since different countries will have different watershed moments, generations should be country specific. For example, a “boomer Iraqi” makes no sense because Iraq didn’t have a baby boom equivalent.
In terms of zoomers, I demarcate the two watershed moments as 9/11 and Covid. In other words, zoomers weren’t old enough to remember a pre-9/11 world but old enough to remember a pre-Covid world. Since someone born a day before 9/11 would have zero memory of 9/11, let along a pre-9/11 world, there can be a ~4 year offset before the actual year of the watershed. For me anyways, a zoomer is someone born between 1997 (2001-4) and 2016 (2020-4). Within this almost 20 year range, you could subdivide this so you can categories like “old zoomer” or “peak zoomer.” The 2008 financial crash and the 2016 presidential election are two minor watershed moments. So 1997-2004 are the early zoomers, 2004-2012 are the peak zoomers, and 2012-2016 are the later zoomers. Agewise, this is 19-26 for older zoomers, 11-19 for the middle zoomers, and 7-11 for the younger zoomers.
The hate of skibidi toilet is just older zoomers cringing at younger zoomers, but everyone involved is a zoomer.
Zoomers are now in their “I’m like 20 now and I feel like I’m ancient” phase where they have to ironically hate on the new Gen saying boomer shit like “kids these days aren’t as good as we were”
Being to cool for stuff you liked as a teen is the real cringe.
Truth. To truly become based you must turn off your cringe inhibitors and fully embrace yourself
To be cringe is to be free
Whenever people younger then me tell me they like something I always engage them and let them tell me about their new interest. Its sucks to be an old grouch and refuse to understand people just because they’re younger than you.
fair enough, I guess they have to force it in before the world ends
I don’t even know what generations are anymore apparently
Doesn’t matter, all you need to know is no generation is more cringe than millennials
Yeah, I like how “Boomers” is basically anyone born between 1900 and 1985, then it’s seemingly a new “generation” every 5 years after that.

Isn’t gen alpha like 6 at this point how do they even have something for zoomers to hate.
IMO the Z/Alpha split doesn’t make any sense at all. With Boomers/Gen X it makes sense because one grew up in postawar America and got to prosper and the other grew up in Neoliberal America and didn’t, Millenial vs Gen Z makes sense as a distinction because the Internet became big while Millenials were already established but Gen Z grew up with Web 2.0 totally dominating their lives, but what, exactly, is the dividing line between Gen Z and Alpha? Nothing, they’re the same generation, it’s just kids who don’t like something telling the kids who like it that their taste is bad.
The split should be between pre-Covid and “post”-Covid, so your oldest alpha is like 7. And this is only partially effective because society has collectively decided to pretend Covid didn’t happen, so it’s not a very significant demarcation.
