The joke may have merit, all generations have their lingo but it does seem to have gotten extra meme-ish as of late, but the labels are all wrong. Millennials are the old ones, the meme language speaker should be labeled as Z (which came after millennials) or Alpha (came after Z, born 2010-2025.)
The new gen just has the ability to disseminate slang faster with all the online tools. Back in my day, words only entered slang status when a celebrity used it in the media.

I think if they were gen alpha they would just be texting weird memes.
Lazy gen A, not even done being born yet.

Honestly, that’s a pretty decent explanation.
It’s kind of insane the turn around of slang. Can’t tell if it’s because I’m older that it appears that way.
Did they switch alphabets too when rolling over from Z to A?
Yes, they went Greek. Starting the letter naming scheme with X turned out to be a mistake.
