Honestly, as a rapidly aging Millennial, only skibidi upsets and confuses me.
Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost
Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.
Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.
Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?
Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins
It’s also very reminiscent of the kind of content that 2000s newgrounds would host.
Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.
Skibidi doesn't have a universal meaning as a slang word. It gets tossed around differently depending on the group of friends using it.
For me "skibidi-bap" is a vocal flourish I'd hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as "booom selecta" or some others but it's up there.
I’m young millennial but as long as crinj means cringe… I’m only not sure about rizz, skibidi, or ohio.
Rizz is short for charisma, Ohio is a terrible place to be, and Skibidi seems to be a chameleon word with many different uses - cool, bad as in good, bad as in bad...
Old millennial with a middle schooler, so I learn enough to screw with them. If you have rizz, you’ve got charisma, if you are rizzing, you’re using charisma to flirt. Skibidi I’m guessing on, but it’s something that’s just generally whack, to use our own generations slang. Ohio is not one I’ve heard, but I’m guessing just a metaphor for a general state of pathetic, just like the state itself.
It's funny how you hit the nail on the head with Ohio perfectly since that's exactly the origin of it, people notices how there's nothing ever going on in Ohio and it just evolved from there.
I mean, Ohio should be self-explanatory to anyone familiar with the state.
I’m not American…
Well that's your own fault, now isn't it? \s
Ohio is what we in the US might call a "fly-over state." Meaning, a state that you want to fly over/through as part of a trip to elsewhere, rather than a place that you want to visit.
Deeply divided?
SHEEEEEESH!
As it should... as it should:-).
