I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation’s new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don’t know why I thought we might break the cycle.
I’ve found that as an Older Millennial, I actually relate to Gen Z quite a bit and get along with them well. It’s Gen Alpha that I never have any idea what the hell they’re talking about.
Most of Gen Zs slang makes sense and you can easily figure it out from context. It even sounds better than older slang in conversation. Skibidi is an exception. W.T.F is that supposed to mean? Is it a verb? An adjective? Both? It sounds dumb and seems to mean nothing…
True, but this example feels a lot less malicious than other “young generation” humor. It’s mostly just poking fun at the stark contrast between the youth culture of now vs. the 1980’s, rather than just denigrating the modern youth.

L8er sk8ers!
My 4 year old is gen alpha. So I’m kind of glad adults on the internet don’t relate to that generation yet
Gen Alpha’s main influence for slang is Cocomelon.
Gen alpha are also like… Literal children
So you know, not surprising
Aw wtf who’s being shitty about gen z slang?
From my experience, gen z. We’re very self deprecating(depressed)
Skibidi is the only one I hate, personally.
I think it’s my favourite!
Watch a couple videos and it’s easy to see what vibe it’s gesturing at
That’s gen alpha you boomer :P

the thing it means is “nonsense (derogatory)”. does that help
Skibidi is mostly a gen alpha thing, not so much gen z
It’s probably an interjection or an onomatopoeia, like all the other things people say that aren’t really words.
Why it could be an interjection:

Any other ideas?
