a lot of online (which is where gen z stuff comes from) culture is just black american culture, it's not particularly different from how most european languages have a bunch of french loan words.
it's really different actually since other Europeans adopting french terms is a result of french colonialism conferring an allure of prestige to french terms. the reason Europeans were desperate to integrate french culture was because they also wanted to enjoy the spoils of colonialism.
whereas people using BAE outside of its cultural context perpetuates a relationship of parasitic colonial extraction, not of symbiotic cultural exchange as most white people would claim
Hmm, looks like it has been used by a variety of people for a while. This is what I could find, but if you have a better source for that claim, I am open to correction.
Counter-culture? I'd go as far as saying most American culture ultimately comes from the Black community. It's usually either them or the queers (and quite often, Black queers!)
A late response, but no. Since both Gen Z and Black Americans live in the same nation, and share a culture, I don't see why I should differentiate between them.
I bet Kai Cenat popularized it, as well as "rizz", "fanum tax" and "gyat". If you don't like it, take it up with Mr Cenat.
Black culture isn't "shared". you're living in this fantasy reality where racism doesn't exist and Black culture is just as respected as European cultures
Aussie slang. Started as people who were cooked ie: fried their brains (could be drugs, more commonly nowadays brainrot from conspiratorial internet influences) , extends to other situations and a euphemism for "fucked"
UD is heavensent for people like me who have to use YT channels like Lessons in Meme Culture (LIMC) to keep up with the kids, but have typically no idea what the new slang means.
It's already time for "cooked" to be back in rotation again? Are kids just learning how to be cool from their parents now? Hell, not even, that one was last up no more than a decade ago.
What's next, the "-izzle" phase again?
If you're gonna bring something back, ressurect some of the old lost classics; like bodacious, gnarly, and groovy. Sick, cram, hip, mod, tubular, cranking... These have all been to rest long enough to come back before cooked.
The joke was that I used the very word I was complaining about (hopefully correctly) in combination with another word (literally) many pedants get pissed when used in a non literal sense
global warming :(
Some of us are more baked, though.
I wish I was right now.
I'm fried
it's Black American English not "gen z slang"

Or, like, white Americans adopting any other culture from black Americans.
That's how it usually goes. AAVE -> widely used slang
Always has been
Now that's jive

Ah, so that explains where my dead Scottish grandpa got it from then. Thought he'd only ever been to Wales, England, and Australia his whole life.
TIL.
All American counter culture comes from the black community.

Come to think of it, I’ve never met a black emo kid.
Wait then what was My Chemical Romance's "Black Parade" all about?
"Gen Z" is American, "Black Americans" is American.
I don't see the difference. 's both American.
you seriously think there's no difference between Black Americans using this term since the 70's and white kids on TikTok appropriating language?

based? based on what?
I asked my friend about this and he told me I'm a good Oregon for not knowing what it is... I dunno if he's right >~<
I still don't fucking get based. I've looked it up, but whatever it means never sticks, and I just don't care at this point.
Its the opposite of "cringe".
Freebased. Specifically freebase cocaine, aka fancy crack
It obviously means the opposite of acidified.
Clorox is super based.
Chat are we cooked?
No. Let him cook.
bro is getting cooked by the word cooked
Nope, climate change Doc. Los Angeles is on fire and the icecaps are melting. Oh, and we just elected Biff president.
Nah, we elected the first timeline Marty's Dad and Biff is the head of DOGE.
chat we're cooked 💀
Take the perspective of things that get cooked.
If you're being cooked, things aren't exactly going your way... Others around you are having a great time though, dinner is served.
As to being sick of it; OP, you may be turning into a crotchety old man... Not cool dude; that's like, totally lame. :P
sorry, but if you're already sick of that word...
What this means please.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I remember the cene from the movie lol
And if things weren't confusing enough, the post didn't mention cooked can also be positive. "You cooked" meaning you did excelled at something.

Makes more sense to me than "based" or "cap." Frfr.
Oh shit, looks like OP is crashing out_!_

Fo shizzle it izzle!
Ah, I liked it.
Squizzle ma nizzle to drain that pizzle. Aaand zip.
Washizzle those hands.

Wait, is this actually how young people talk or are you gaslighting us?
Lingo and slang changes every decade or so. I don't know why people are surprised that the trends from when they are 14 are no longer cool.
It's not even every decade. It's basically every 3 weeks
I'm not surprised that language changes, I just never heard this particular phrasing before but judging from your offendedness, I guess it is used
Well, they didn't imply that it is surprising.
I mean I use it, and I'm in my mid-20
In that case, English is broken. This is too much, we are literally cooked and need a new global lingua franca
Why? New slang has always been forming, it's literally how language evolves
The joke was that I used the very word I was complaining about (hopefully correctly) in combination with another word (literally) many pedants get pissed when used in a non literal sense
I seeee, it did cross my mind it being a joke, but I also thought you might have been mocking it lol
I'm not mocking it, I'm totally cooking it
That's salty
That's because everyone is cooking
And where are they back from? Does everyone have time machines?
They know you’re allowed to say “fucked” right?
