Millennials Feel Old After Seeing List of “Banned Words” in Gen Alpha Classroom – Weird

Millennials, it’s time for you to feel even older (as if you haven’t already).

A post on Reddit has gone viral, featuring a list of words banned in a high school class — and it may seem like gibberish at first glance.

Earlier this year, millennials were left feeling like OAPs after being told that a number of “slang words” from their childhood were no longer cool, with words like “yolo” and “vibe » now a thing of the past – times have changed.

Millennials vs Generation Alpha

It appears that over time, the line of comparison between Millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) and members of Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2010) or Generation Alpha (those born from 2010 onwards) ) becomes more and more clear.

With behaviors such as the “millennial break” and the difference in how quickly each generation ages being seen as differences between the two generations, the disparity has continued, with certain words and phrases being banned in a high school classroom .

Members of Gen Alpha begin to enter their high school years, and bring with them their shenanigans and unintelligible slang, which were quickly banned by many teachers.

There are the common nouns that more or less most young people know, like “rizz”, which is now in the dictionary, and “bruh” which you have probably heard since your time on Vine, are both present on the board .

But are you ready for the rest of the list? Let’s see – take a look below.

What words are on the list?

First, I think the banning of “Bro” is overkill, but the rest makes sense.

“On God” acting as a substitute for “I promise” is understandable, while phrases like “low key” and “high key” used in place of adjectives can annoy even the most relaxed English teacher.

“Bussin” is a term used to describe good food, and that is out the window, while more vulgar terms such as “Gyatt” are naturally banned. You can Google that one.

You may also be familiar with “Cap” and “Finna”, as they have been around for the better part of the last decade, while newer terms like “sigma” and “baka” have also been banned.

“I love that for you” and “You’re doing too much” are phrases made popular by social media influencers, and hearing teens repeat it over and over during a lesson will take a toll on your mental strength.

Online reaction

But users, who appeared predominantly older, took to the comments of this interesting post, sharing what they thought about the list of banned words.

One user posted: “Incorrect approach. Use the words more than them, the word will die.”

A second further pointed out: “Just start saying these words if you’re an adult. The quickest way to discourage something is to embrace it. » – fair enough.

Another agreed, saying: “I can confirm. Teacher for 15 years. Kills the mood quickly. Plus it’s funny, at least for me.”

A fourth said: “Add ‘it gives…'”, which I have to say I agree with.
