Most people try to keep up with internet slang by learning the slang and words from Gen Z’s vocabulary. However, another generation’s own vocabulary is beginning to emerge on the internet, one that even Gen Z sometimes struggles to understand. The Alpha generation is a group that was born into technology. Therefore, they have been able to adapt to digital media very quickly and have developed new expressions that go beyond the Gen Z dictionary. In this blog, we will look at some of the internet slang used by the Alpha generation.

Gen Alpha Age Rage
The Alpha generation is often mistakenly considered part of the Gen Z group. This generation, born between 2010 and 2025, is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century and the digital age. It is very difficult to separate Generation Alpha from technology. This is why this generation has adapted to technology and the internet much faster than other generations. With this rapid adaptation, they have sometimes changed the meanings of Gen Z terms among themselves and sometimes developed expressions beyond them.
