Most of Gen Zs slang makes sense and you can easily figure it out from context. It even sounds better than older slang in conversation. Skibidi is an exception. W.T.F is that supposed to mean? Is it a verb? An adjective? Both? It sounds dumb and seems to mean nothing...

Skibidi is mostly a gen alpha thing, not so much gen z

the thing it means is "nonsense (derogatory)". does that help

It's probably an interjection or an onomatopoeia, like all the other things people say that aren't really words.

Why it could be an interjection:

people just say it unprompted and without context.

Why it could be onomatopoeia:

the word skibidi represents nothing except the sound you make while saying it

Any other ideas?

I saw a comparison and it feels like the good is getting gooder and the bad is getting way worse.
