The author literally cites just like 4 TikTok accounts and that’s all her evidence. One person on TikTok said “Gen Alpha is just so weird” and takes that as some truism (which, by the way, we had plenty of skibidi toilet type weird shit that grown ups didn’t understand when I was a kid). It’s like those articles that say “People are getting mad about XYZ”, and the article just says “It appears that a lot of people are upset about XYZ” and then it just gives 5 screen shots from random twitter users with 200 followers as “evidence”.
Lazy journalism at its finest. Didn’t know getting a job with the paper in the second largest market in the US was that easy.

The only weird thing about Skibidee Toilet is that it just seems like something that would be popular 15 years ago.
The truly weird stuff are the nonsense videos that play the algorithm for kids.

Probably made by someone who grew up 15 years ago lol
i mean millenials (esp in the age 28-34 range) are basically creating media and defining culture for zoomers/older alphas
meanwhile older zoomers are syntheisizing elder millenial subcultures and sort of selling them back to us (esp in the various revivals in the music world)
it's an interesting little capitalistic ecosystem at least in the world of treats and obviously unsustainable. kind of a global expansion of the old "do what the cool older kids are doing" combined with deteriorating material conditions "elder millennials have money, let's sell stuff back to them that we grew up on (that their generation help create originally)"
It's basically just SFM videos styled after Gmod content from 10-15 years ago by dudes like kitty0706, dasboschitt, and djy1991
Those are names I haven't heard for 10-15 years
The Idiot Box was the shit when I was 8
Internet weird shit hasn't really changed that much. My childhood was charlie the unicorn and gmod idiot box. I find the prevalence of gmod in internet shitposting very interesting especially considering how old it is
Journalists would faint in horror of all the weird newgrounds shit I, and many other late millennials/early zoomers grew up on.
