Why do Zoomers hate skibidi toilet so much?
Why do Zoomers hate skibidi toilet so much?
I watched it and it honestly is pretty cool, kinda catchy and funny and reminiscent of some steam orange box edit from 15 years ago
The youtube comments are full of ~20 year olds complaining about it though (probably mostly ironically but still)
crapping on the Latest Thing Kids Are Doing is one of the early phases of transitioning into an out of touch adult.
every new group thinks they're gonna be young and connected to youth culture forever. when they run into the first thing from younger people they don't get, they feel compelled to explain why "it sucks actually" rather than letting go of their youth status.

Does this mean zoomers are becoming out-of-touch-geezers at the seasoned age of ~21 years old?
I remember being 21, back in the early 2010s, I was never even thinking about what younger kids were doing, nobody was.No surely not. I was there when the rizz lords first spoke, I understand the origins of the gyaat, and I've seen the skibidis upon their toilet. This fanum tax eludes me however
I'm still gip with the kids
personally i don't feel like i've ever been in touch with 'youth culture'. even when i was very young i always felt like i never understood what other kids were talking about, and this feeling of alienation from 'the zeitgeist' has persisted into my 30s. like, when i was a kid i liked ninjas and mecha. now that i'm 30 i like ninjas and mecha and communism. but i never liked the name brand IP stuff, Gundam is mid mostly (i especially disliked gundam wing, which was the hot shit when i was a pre-teen), and like 7/10 at its best (gundam IBO, haven't yet seen witch from mercury but i hear good things). transformers is and always was poorly concieved garbage. power rangers were silly but normal IP-less anonymized ninjas were cool. naruto and DBZ were too impractical, even when i was like 6 i didn't like their tacky orange outfits. i liked pokemon (or more accurately i thought pikachu specifically was cute) for like one year and got bored of it while the rest of the world went wild about it. and i never liked any music anyone else had ever heard of. i think assuming that these criticisms are always and necessarily just out of touch adults complaining about what they don't understand is too simplistic, because 'out-of-touch-edness' is not confined to the old and the very concept might be kinda ableist towards the neurodivergent depending on the definition and related assumptions.
"YOLO," said Millennials, and "yeet," the Zoomers cried
"Rizzler gyatt fanum tax," the Alphas then replied
And lo, there came a shaking as an ebon spire rose
Upon it writ the tongues of men, their generations' prose
And from the sky a thund'rous voice called out unto the stone,
As golden letters glowed upon its surface, newly shown:
"RIZZLER GYATT FANUM TAX, SIGMA OHIO SKIBIDI"
And all beheld the words embossed theron in great timidity
With shaking and with wavering voice, the grim refrain began
As all the generations sang the verse at its command
Their weeping and their running sores did nothing to delay
The chanting of that fevered song as night succumbed to day
But rose that morn a blighted sun whose light scoured like a flood
The sky was rent asunder and the rivers turned to blood
Their flesh peeled off in sickly strips, their bones were rendered bare
And still they chanted ever on, the words they uttered there
Until bone and flesh and earth and death were all forgotten things
And still unbidden, undesired, the blackened spire sings
Around it wind the whispers of the souls in its captivity:
"rizzler gyatt fanum tax... sigma ohio skibidi"
I think some of it is self reflexive cringe. We know it's just like the stuff we were laughing at a couple of years ago, and it's painful to think that we weren't always as enlightened as to understand that Obama impressions and the Adam Friedland show are the highest form of humor.

It's like when Minecraft went from being that game for babies into an icon you can't criticize. Every generation hates on something the youngest one likes for whatever reason.
I'm pretty sure Minecraft was a thing for adult nerds before it became a thing for babies
This is true
I just remember it getting a lot of hate around high school before those same people talking shit became addicted to it.
Wait what? Zoomers hate skibidi toilet? I thought zoomers were the reason skibidi toilet was a thing
Gen alpha is the reason skibidi toilet was a thing, zoomers “hate” it ironically because it’s not really any different than 2016 cod trickshot edits
I refuse to accept "gen alpha". If Gen z is late 90s to 2000s, shouldn't "Gen alpha" be in like fifth grade at most? Do they even count as a distinct generation yet? Are we gonna get Gen Beta in like two years?
It's such an arbitrary and contrarian concept, just scrap the idea of namwd "generations" altogether.
Skibidi toilet guy got milkshake ducked fwiw, he's a horrible racist
Do you mind elaborating?
I won't claim someone as a zoomer if they don't like skibidi. Shame upon them
Is not any different than the dumb gmod idiot box shit me and my friends used to watch so no hate
That or the slightly earlier Half-Life: Full Life Consequences or Idiots of Garry's Mod
Ravenholdm
It actually makes me pretty glad gmod continues on like this.
I LOVE SKIBIDI TOILET I USED TO HATE IT BUT MY PARTNER SHOWED ME THE LIGHT I LOVE SKIBIDI TOILET I LOVE SKIBIDI TOILET ILOVESKIBIDITOILETILOVE....
I slashed my own eyes because as long as I follow skibidi toilet I can never be blind.
I am a zoomer who teaches alpha, and except for Bluey and Miraculous Ladybug, all of their touchstone media is stuff that was big before my time. They all up in Mario and Sonic and Frozen and that. When I was a kid, we had like iCarly and Codename Kids Nextdoor and Avatar. Now its like there's nothing unifying for the kids to watch. Kinda sad.

gettin drunk and poking a fire with a stick gang
This is sounding eerily similar to the Boomer-millennial-(and apparently possibly alpha) complex vs. the genX-zoomer complex
where each complex has vaguely similar behaviors/traits due to most of them being raised by the previous generation
It's also very interesting that I (millennial) generally dislike zoomer stuff but skibidi seems pretty enjoyable to me (small sample size still but we'll see)
Except its pretty sad because a lot of my students' parents are around my age, some are literally my age and maybe a quarter are only 2-4 years older. I can't imagine being ready for a baby in 2-4 years let alone having had one 2-4 years ago :(
Actually this tracks lol I'm pretty into industrial bc my parents were huge Korn/KMFDM fans!
it's anti imperialist
I actually really like Skibidi. Really like how the toilets (poop, most essential and base humanity) are engaged in people's war against the panopticon.
