Parents find themselves increasingly baffled by the slang used by their Gen Alpha children, with terms like

“skibidi,” “gyatt,” and “tea” leaving many adults in the dark, according to a CNBC report.

These words, born and rapidly evolving in online spaces such as TikTok and Roblox, are part of a broader generational shift that makes intergenerational communication feel more like deciphering a secret code.

What was once “cool” or “slay” now seems vintage, replaced by slang that changes as quickly as the internet trends themselves, and it’s being reported as one of the biggest communication barriers between parents and their children.
