EP 15 - GenZ slang

Welcome back to another fun and eye-opening episode of Parenting Untapped!

In this episode, Aly and her dad Tony dive headfirst into the wild world of Gen Z slang—the words, phrases, and internet trends that leave many parents completely confused (and maybe a little concerned).

From “6–7” and “brain rot” to “bro,” “riz,” “mid,” “no cap,” and the infamous “skibidi,” this conversation breaks down what these terms actually mean, why teens use them, and how social media and TikTok culture fuel these trends. Along the way, you’ll hear plenty of laughs, real reactions, and honest generational differences that make this episode both entertaining and relatable.

In this episode, we cover:

1. What popular Gen Z slang really means (and when it has no meaning at all)
2. Why teens use words that seem random or confusing to adults
3. The role of TikTok, memes, and internet culture in shaping teen language
4. How “brain rot” humor became a thing
5. Whether parents should be worried—or just laugh it off

Whether you’re a parent trying to decode your teen’s language, a teen laughing along because your parents “just don’t get it,” or someone curious about modern youth culture, this episode offers a lighthearted look at how language evolves—and why understanding it can help bridge the gap between parents and teens.

🎧 Tune in to Parenting Untapped for laughs, insight, and real conversations that bring parents and teens closer—one confusing slang word at a time.
