From "My Bad" to "No Cap": Your Shortcut to Speaking Gen Z

‍

Let's be real - if you're reading this, you've probably had at least one moment where you tried using Gen Z slang and immediately made everyone in the room want to crawl into a hole. 💀

The Struggle Is Real

Picture this: You're trying to connect with younger audiences, and you drop what you think is a totally hip "that's lit, fam!" only to be met with the dreaded "silence of secondhand embarrassment." Oof. We've all been there, and it's giving... desperate.

Why You're Probably Failing at Gen Z Speak

• You're using slang from 2019 (ancient history)

• Your formal vocabulary is showing (respectfully, we can tell)

• You're overthinking it (it's giving try-hard)

• Your "how do you do, fellow kids" energy is too strong
