I know this seems cray-cray but Gen Z - that's children and teenagers - are totes twittering, making jkes and LMSing their way through
life. I mean, YOLO.
According to McCrindle research, while Gen Z is predicted to be the most educated generation in Australia’s history, their unique way of communicating has caused debate on whether literacy standards are declining in the classroom as text-talk and “slanguage” infiltrates the written word.
Their grandparents - the ol' the Baby Boomers - first brought youth slang into the spotlight with words like 'cool', 'man', and 'dude'.
Today's youth draw from a larger bunch of slang, vastly different from previous youth lexicons, compounded by new technology and opened up by a global youth culture.
And now, McCrindle Research has compounded some of the best ones into the ABC of GEN Z, a vibrant infographic displaying the top lingo you should know.
