Every generation has had that one weird trend. This one's here to stay. Get over it.

You may even find it funny if you stopped being grouchy about it.

Edit: I guess this is a truly unpopular opinion. You rarely see that on this comm...

I don't even get what's supposed to be funny about it but I'm glad you're so easily entertained?

Compared to Gen Z slang, it's mediocre at best. I'm a millennial but there's no denying they were the funniest.

Gen A kind of sucks at slang so far so...maybe it's goated in that regard? I can't really think of any funny gen A things.

Stupid for the sake of stupid is just stupid- and for the record, there is no good type of stupid.

The whole sixty seven thing is only funny because you have to force it to have a meaning. And the meaning is that there’s no meaning. We get it. Sooooo meta!

It’s just fucking stupid.

Trust me when I say this- you’re going to be embarrassed that you ever thought this shit was funny when you’re older.

I'm 20. You need to stop being grouchy. Society changes and culture changes. It's funny!

So like I said. When you grow up…..

And I’m not the least bit grouchy. Just because I can recognize flavor of the week bullshit for what it is doesn’t make me grouchy. It just means I’ve seen it before and it’s nothing new.

Ok lil gramps. Get back in your wheelchair. We've heard enough

Thanks for helping prove my point.

I wouldn't quite call it GOAT.
It's just another insider anti-joke, which is ok.

Except it's not insider any more.

So whatever. Over-representation in media effectively removed any funnyness by now.

Maybe as a nostalgic throwback in a few years again...

It's still situationally funny.

Tell me you can watch this video or this video and say you didn't crack a smile

Direct Instagram links suck, consider posting it differently if you would like people here to be actually able to watch...

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

You can watch it on your browser?

Nope, doesn't work.
Instagram-links only show static preview and want me to install their app.

I was able to view them using Android, Firefox, and Desktop mode. Still clumsy, but it worked.

Not that they were compelling evidence.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
