Post your skibidi.

But a person with a screen as a head can't be uwu even if they literally project that 24/7 :/
That said, the video does start strongly.

Another sign Gen Alpha was reigning came after a millennial woman got schooled by her younger Gen Alpha sister and her best friend in a video that's been viewed over nine million times.


In the clip, Simone Pellegrino informed her older sister Nicole that "slay" was out of fashion and explained how to use certain emojis correctly. She also introduced the word "GYAT" to her.


The discussion stunned some commenters who said the video "aged" them, while others defiantly claimed that words like slay were still appropriate to use.

Not the sort of paragraphs I'd expect to read in the Business Insider
 
I'm in the shoulder years between millennials and zoomers so I'm doubly confused by whatever's going on with Gen A. But Skibidi Toilet gets a pass for being Gmod.

Fixed that for ya ;).

There's so much more features in SFM that GMod doesn't have. One key thing I've noticed is that the author uses volumetric lighting in his animation. It's impressive how he manages to manipulate the bones in the citizen's faces and Gman (the Skibidi Toilets and G Toilet) to recreate the exaggerated facial features done in classic Gmod videos seen by Rubber Fruit (@danjuno 's avatar is one example that came from RubberFruit). I only seen it myself when I have to work with models that don't have a slider for facial expressions and need to manipulate bones in the ragdoll's face to make any facial expressions and accidentally move them too much.

 
So after Z, comes A?
It's economical in that it provides a plethora of letters to then choose (and sets an obvious progression), but still a bit problematic.

Pretty sure that AI will soon be used to batch-produce such videos.
 
Well, we couldn’t call them generation AA for obvious reasons. And I don’t think they buy enough steak to be the A-1 generation.
 
Blame whoever named Generation X.

Naturally, it's complicated.

Terminology and etymology​

Douglas Coupland popularized the term Generation X in his 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.
The term Generation X has been used at various times to describe alienated youth. In the early 1950s, Hungarian photographer Robert Capa first used Generation X as the title for a photo-essay about young men and women growing up immediately following World War II. The term first appeared in print in a December 1952 issue of Holiday magazine announcing their upcoming publication of Capa's photo-essay.[7] From 1976 to 1981, English musician Billy Idol used the moniker as the name for his punk rock band.[8] Idol had attributed the name of his band to the book Generation X, a 1964 book on British popular youth culture written by journalists Jane Deverson and Charles Hamblett[9][10]—a copy of which had been owned by Idol's mother.[11] These uses of the term appear to have no connection to Robert Capa's photo-essay.[7]

The term acquired a modern application after the release of Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, a 1991 novel written by Canadian author Douglas Coupland; however, the definition used there is "born in the late 1950s and 1960s", which is about ten years earlier than definitions that came later.[12][13][9][14] In 1987, Coupland had written a piece in Vancouver Magazine titled "Generation X" which was "the seed of what went on to become the book".[15][16] Coupland referenced Billy Idol's band Generation X in the 1987 article and again in 1989 in Vista magazine.[17] In the book proposal for his novel, Coupland writes that Generation X is "taken from the name of Billy Idol’s long-defunct punk band of the late 1970s".[18] However, in 1995 Coupland denied the term's connection to the band, stating that:

The book's title came not from Billy Idol's band, as many supposed, but from the final chapter of a funny sociological book on American class structure titled Class, by Paul Fussell. In his final chapter, Fussell named an 'X' category of people who wanted to hop off the merry-go-round of status, money, and social climbing that so often frames modern existence.[19][15]
Author William Strauss noted that around the time Coupland's 1991 novel was published the symbol "X" was prominent in popular culture, as the film Malcolm X was released in 1992, and that the name "Generation X" ended up sticking. The "X" refers to an unknown variable or to a desire not to be defined.[20][21][14] Strauss's coauthor Neil Howe noted the delay in naming this demographic cohort saying, "Over 30 years after their birthday, they didn't have a name. I think that's germane." Previously, the cohort had been referred to as Post-Boomers, Baby Busters (which refers to the drop in birth rates following the baby boom in the western world, particularly in the U.S.[where?]),[22] New Lost Generation, latchkey kids, MTV Generation, and the 13th Generation (the 13th generation since American independence).[8][20][17][23][24]
 
It's clearly better than our own era of youtube- though not many of us here were automatically linked to the web, due to it either not existing or being in a very early form back then :shake:
