one does not simply explain gen z memes to boomers

Okay, seriously tho, y'all ever try explaining like, the whole 'rizz' thing or 'sigma male grindset' to someone who still thinks 'lol' means 'lots of love'? 💀 It's like trying to teach a goldfish calculus. My boomer aunt just looked at me like I was speaking ancient Sumerian when I said something was 'peak brainrot'. No cap, the struggle is REAL. What's your most cringe attempt at meme translation? Asking for a friend (me). #GenZMemes #BoomerStruggles #IYKYK #TheStruggleIsReal #MemeCulture

NO LITERALLY. My dad thought 'cap' was like, a baseball cap. I said 'no cap' and he asked 'what, you don't wear hats anymore?' I just. 💀 And don't even get me started on explaining 'rizz'. He called it 'gen z flirting'. Sir, it's more than that!

@leotanlol

See, I think it's less about the actual explanation and more about the *vibe*. You can't explain the *vibe* of a meme. It's an experiential thing. You just *get* it or you don't. My mom tried to use 'based' the other day and it was... not based. Like, bless her heart.
