    β€œMaxxing,” β€œmogging,” β€œ-pilled.” Amongst many others. I’ve even seen this language on billboards and the seepage of sewage into the mainstream is mind-boggling.

    Then again those stupid psyop fucks infiltrated Xitter, tumblr, etc. over a decade ago.

    These terms were originally heavily used as heavy right wing 4chan terms, largely circulating in hate circle jerks (which is like 50% of 4chan anyways). Largely associated with millenial incel culture.

    Gen Z proceeded to take these terms and parody the fuck out if them, effectively mocking incel culture and turning it into a huge joke. Thus then became mainstream and its largely acted as a very successful humiliation tactic towards the hateful groups.

    Think stuff like all the "chad" memes but applying it to silly stuff, like intense cuts of a random chair or a porta-potty, x-pilled terms, etc.

    All their terms have been mocked into oblivion, you cant really use the terms without just sounding like a gen z meme now.

    An example of when millennials did a similiar thing was mocking the shit out of gen x biker/trucker hyper masculine culture and turning it into an ironic joke. IE the skeleton "my body is a machine that turns x into y" jokes, or ironic memes of edgy skeletons/wolves/etc. Three moons shirt, those things.

    10/10, I fucking love how culture can do stuff like this over time lol
