Gen Alpha are given an ipad at birth, and their parents wonder why they have little to no magination and social skills. Having a conversation with ur siblings and friends is better than staring at an ipad

100% parents' fault. Can't blame a 2 month old.

Brainrot now: TikTok and Skibidi Toilet Brainrot in 2015: you're so grounded grounded for a million years

People in my class are ALWAYS singing the damn skibbidy toilet song and never have I ever wanted to punch a literal middle schooler more

As one of the older gen alpha kids, I’m grateful that I didn’t grow up as a toddler with electronics everywhere.

It's ironic how the same people who are complaining about my generation (Millenials complaining about Gen Z) are the same people who are giving their children Ipads instead of actually raising their kids. Fellow gen Z's: please, I beg you. Don't raise Ipad babies. We can be better and learn so the past doesn't repeat itself and make sure that any kids you may raise know, not to raise Ipad babies either.

As a gen Z - Alpha ( 2010-2012), I played with mostly toys, did origami and drawed a lot, and now im a bit addicted to tech but i cam at least survive for a bit without tech, and HOW DO THESE KIDS GET IPADS LIKE A MANDATORY 1 YEAR OLD PRESENT

Its crazy. I know a gen alpha kid who had a phone at 4 years old. I got my first phone on my 13th birthday lol.

As a Gen Z, I don’t get why parents would trust their little kids use their phones or iPads. What if the child ends up ordering something expensive without the parents knowing. I remember when I was a young child, I just watch TV and play with toys. I never owned an IPad nor phone until I was a teenager.

For someone who was born in 2004, I grew up with a lot of things. Pixar, Disney, Nintendo, the list just goes on! I just wish I was a kid again!

0:38 as an older gen α, i appreciate that you specified younger gen alpha

EXACTLY what I’ve been saying about gen alpha! They are given an iPad and then they start to see older teenager stuff and start to act like it. When I was 4-8 I’d watch Disney or superhero’s. Not stupid videos leading to tik tok

As a 15 year old, I am very happy I was not born in Gen Alpha. Also I am very worried for Gen Beta which should begin in 2025 or 2026.

Yesterday I was at work (waiter), and this mom came in wish a very small child, one or two years old and literally just put an ipad in front of their face in the middle of the restaurant. The kid was so zombified they were the cleanest best behaved kid of that age I've ever seen on the premises. But dude... it was kinda just sad.. they sat there expressionless and silent, staring at cocomelon. I felt bad. Other kids come in and make noise / mess. Sure, it's annoying but at least they're being kids. Rip

at the begin you fully described my childhood with cars and Shrek on the DVD playing games with family on the Wii and shows like regular show hearing those names be brought up made me remember some good memories

Part of me wants to keep my future children away from technology, but another part of me wonders if that will put my kids at a disadvantage compared to their peers.

I'm a millennial. I feel as removed from Gen Alpha as my grandparents probably did from me. They didn't have electricity until mid childhood, farmed with horse drawn equipment; and lived to see the great depression, a world war, manned space travel, the full cold war, and the rise of the internet. We will truly see manmade horrors beyond comprehension.

I am a gen z born in 2005 and based on experience, I had a good childhood. I actually enjoyed playing outside alone or with friends. I usually played basketball with my neighbors. Occasionally, I also climbed trees. The first time I got my own tablet when I was 7 but I still preferred playing with my toys (I was limited to 1 hour of screentime a day anyway). Speaking of toys, I once had a collection of bootleg legos. I also played board games like chess or scrabble. I also liked watching tv. There was this one time when my gen A younger brother talked about skibidi toilet to me and I was like "what the hell is a skibidi toilet". He still enjoys going outside and watching tv though.

I got my first iPad just before I was 10 years old even though I was born in 2012. 2000s teenagers don't know what they're talking about. Plus, most websites agree that gen alpha starts with kids born in 2013 and after.

You said Lincoln Log and memories came back. I fudging loved those things as a kid, in fact i still have some pieces from years ago, but uh... Yeah i don't have enough to build a Barbie dreamhouse.

As someone who was born in 2006, I’m greatly thankful that I just missed gen alpha. I’m glad my parents gave me legos, stick bots, and Pokémon cards/games.

as a younger gen z, I'm so glad that i grew up with limited tech use

i dont even use tiktok

Half alpha half gen z 👇

When kids as young as 1 are being given tech devices, it clearly shows the direction children must be heading 😂

I could stay hours and hours of time outside, playing with my friends or building something in the backyard before i turned 10 and discovered youtube, but still i wasnt really affected by that and continued enjoying my childhood until i turned 13 or something and started actually getting to the technology, now that i am 17, i am trying to get back to the times when i had other passions instead of just mindlessly scrolling instagram

Like. What will Gen Alpha feel nostalgic for in 10 years? Lanky Box? skibidi toilet? This must be the saddest generation. Ever.

As a gen Y. you growing up with technology that we eventually got post high school... I think we are really in for a serious crisis. I remember when smart phones were only for extremely rich people or executives. We had flip phones with only basic text that could cost a quarter per text to send if you went over your 10 text limit for that day. We didn't have Google until we were in middle school. during that time to find information you had to go to a library to physically read a book to research something. Gen alpha knows how to work an interface but I doubt they will ever figure out how to create one or even know how it works. That doesn't make them smart

I'm older gen Z (2001) and I don't think we should make fun of all these kids. I worked at a Summer camp this summer where phones weren't allowed and the kids had fun playing games outside with each other. Even though they were very hyper (lol), I think the generation will be ok. Edit: plus, a lot of them liked older movies, TV shows, games and music

“You weren’t a real one if you didn’t watch cocomelon.” Mfs in like 15 years

As an American kid my entertainment had similar messaging to what my school and parents were telling me. Be a good person, practice good nutrition, work hard, stay in school, don't do drugs, recycle, help your friends, don't bully others, etc. No matter who it was saying it, be it Hulk Hogan, Splinter, Egon, Swamp Thing, Captain Planet, etc. Even the "edgier" content I had access to, like Aliens, Robocop, and Jurassic Park, all had similar wholesome messages under the violence that I still picked up on, along with positive role models to emulate. The entertainment sphere of adolescence really was more insulated. We only had a few dozen channels on TV. Internet was barely a thing and what most people had was carefully filtered through services like Prodigy and AOL. Whatever music we got was filtered through radio stations, VH1 and MTV. The limited scope of our entertainment meant the most positive messages were the ones most repeated, which helped serve a moral foundation along with any religious/secular and parental instruction. Our parents and grandparents had an even more limited sphere of entertainment as adolescents, and for the most part had just as rigid of a moral foundation growing up. Unless parents are really alert to what their kids are choosing to consume, kids are growing up with less of a moral foundation. So we're seeing more amoral kids from Gen Alpha. Don't act surprised the next time you see a Gen Alpha kid do something horrible and when you ask why they say "I saw it on TikTok" in a tone that makes it sound justified bc, to them, it is.

You didn’t mention that gen z watches Bluey pan actually good thing to watch

I'm from Gen Alpha, but I'm not a toddler who watches these creepy ass videos 24/7, I'm worried for this generation. I think the reason Gen Alpha is like this is because technology is evolving way too fast and our parents don't understand a lot about it, so they just give an iPad to their children to keep them entertained. I have a 5 year old sister, sometimes she watches some of the weirdest videos on the planet, and also plays some weird games, I keep trying to make my mom change her mind about her behavior but she doesn't care. When I was younger, I watched Cars, Bolt, played on my PS3, and went outside.

I've only had unrestricted internet access since middle school and I feel like even that really fucked me up. But I can't even imagine what I'd be like if I had it from birth.

Not the Lincoln logs, shit was underrated 😭

When I was a toddler and didn't want to go to bed, dad grabbed the computer, pulled up Text to Speech, and made it tell me to go to bed. I would then go to bed. This was basically the only time I'd "interact" with the internet until I was, like, 7 or 8.

Im proud (and frankly pretty damn lucky) to be the oldest of my generation, yet to have grown up with what the generation before me had, my condolences to everybody else in this new generation, and im digusted with the lazy parents who allow such practices.

Psychology student here, I'm terrified what kind of addiction problems these poor bastards might face. It's one thing to have an oral fixation, & get addicted to vaping. But imagine if the physical action of scrolling on a screen becomes a fixation of its own. These guys are doomed.

Looking/Thinking back as kid: Playing outside, getting dirty by in mud, riding bike(well not in park but in home yard which is big),visiting your friends,go playgrounds or parks, running in the rain and spending time with your household.. Now that is what is being a kid. Being a real human being.

Well said!!! I’m a GenXer and I really hope all the generations can work together on sorting out this mess.

I’m holding out hope that somehow they’ll end up being able to function in society. With how much KZfaq I watched, there was no way I should’ve been able to function, yet I’ve nearly finished my first set of college classes. If my sad attention span can do it, then so can they. (I hope.)

As an older gen alpha I can say that we had to deal with these problems a lot less because I only got KZfaq kids when I was five so I was at least one of the lucky ones who knew how to play with toys

As a person born in 2014 I still use DVD and I am ashamed of the younger gen alpha

i'm a gen z kid thank god

As a 13 year old, I'm on the internet for three years now. I was given a mobile at first when I was 10. I had good communication skills, all of that. Yet here I am, with less and less communication skills. (I'm kidding, obviously. I have gotten better at communication skills because me playing minecraft with friends, school n shit.) I was always an introvert, not to the degree I hated being around people, but to the degree that If I had an option to stay home or go outside, I'd stay home. But I wouldn't dislike going outside, playing with friends at the playground. In my country however, I'm apart of Gen Alpha.

As part of younger gen z/older gen alpha (2010), I completely missed out on fun toys. I remember playing sky landers on my wii, or playing animal crossing on my Nintendo Ds without any time off it except to eat, go to bed or go to school. It really stunted my communication skills, all because I was spending all my time indoors away from other people. I’m just finding out how fun puzzles are, and working on stuff I missed out on not having physical toys (such as motor skills as I also have a few joint and muscle issues)

I grew up watching Tom and jerry and Mr. Bean. I had my first computer when I was 6 and played plants vs zombies and angry birds. My first tablet was when I was 9 and I was playing COC. I remember watching Let's play videos of Stampy and DanTDM and also Markiplier. I also grew uo watching old K-pop groups since I love their music and not the members. Alsi grew up playing outside with Nerf's and basketball. Happy im not born 2010.

I am the only Generation Alpha that makes brainrot refuses in my mind, and stopping Skibidi Toliet from making me laugh and brainrot.

There’s a third option. The moment our generation becomes parents don’t give our kids smart phones and teach em to enjoy life. Don’t give em a phone until they’re much older. I never got my first phone until the end of 7th grade. Before that I was making friends, socializing, learning to enjoy life, learning about classic music. Now I’m in college and I’m glad I made it out of childhood as soon as I did because if I were part of Gen alpha I would have no clue on how to make friends

I was born in a year where it's debated whether we're gen Z or gen Alpha, so I'm not quite sure where I place, but I do remember being given an iPad when I was about 3-4. I still grew up using LEGOs and remember Cartoon Network being a big thing when I was younger (although I wasn't allowed to watch anything on it for some reason), so I guess I was lucky enough to not be sucked into using electronics 24/7 when I was much younger. I genuinely feel bad for the younger people in gen Alpha, it's not their fault at all that they get sucked into this world of electronics.

2:59 The grandpa toilet in the background just chillin': i'm fine

It’s sad how doomed Gen Alpha is rn. One time I was in a mall, we were trying to find a table to eat, and there was this little girl that looked like 4 yrs old, guess what she was watching? The amazing digital circus content farm channels. And all my 5 yo cousin does is watch Lankybox and Skibidi Toilet. I’m an early Gen Alpha/ sometimes consider myself a “Zalpha” and I just wanna say that I’m glad that I never grew up with coco melon, skibidi toilet and other nonsense. I grew up watching Strawberry Shortcake, Franklin and Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Invader Zim (most favorite show), Tom and Jerry, Ren and Stimpy, and CatDog (I have cat as my pfp lol) I did get an iPad at 3 yrs old but instead of watching stuff that gives me brainrot, I actually played educational games, and watched math videos. I also miss those times where I would play blocks with my older brother

the amount of children at a restaurant that had a mental breakdown because they didn’t have their little ipads glued to their faces is ungodly☠️

I'm an older Gen Alpha (2010) actually got to enjoy things like Legos and other "normal" things, Covid-19 is what made me start to be tech addicted But even I can see how worrying it is for the younger ones to be like this Edit: Outdated source, Gen Alpha doesn't start at 2010, it starts at 2013 I'm Gen Z now I guess

Gen Z was fμcked later but at least till our 10 years we weren't mindlessly scrolling TikToks. We could say we had a childhood more like other generations. We read books we played with toys we had TV as our first source of entertainment. Nothing was instantaneous and even using the internet wasn't the 2 taps or scroll scroll scroll that is today. We still had things to do outside and we can remember stuff from our childhood. Because it's the most varied in terms of anything.

My parents were very strict about electronics, I didn't know what a tablet or a iphone was until I was 6. I don't know what to do for when I eventually have a kid. I might decide that it's not even worth having a kid in this new age.

I'm only 20, but I feel old. I used to spend my days as a kid sitting on a tree stump by the railroad tracks, reading books and waiting for a train to come by so I could wave to the engineer. Future generations may not get to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

I feel like I'm one of the few gen alpha kids who grew up on content outside of the internet, with shows like Little Einsteins, Backyardigans, Oomy Zoomy, Wonder Pets, and Wall-E multiple times a day with some Word World sprinkled in there. I would also watch (and still do watch) shows directed towards older kids, like Adventure Time and Amazing World of Gumball. I also like to play with LEGOs and paper and pencil. Especially the paper and pencil, I draw on any piece of paper I can get.

Watching this and seeing the content Gen Alpha watches nowdays makes me feel so glad I was born in 2006, which means I'm Gen Z, and grew up with the Wii, Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Super Mario and SpongeBob. I'd spend hours playing Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports, then I'd watch SpongeBob and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse back when I was 7 or 8. Those were the times for me back then

1:36 yo Lincoln Logs were actually fire as hell back then

Physical traits in 2023: Height, weight, body type, etc. Physical traits in the future: All of the above + *TYPE OF PHONE*

Milennial here, praying for Gen Alpha. We have our problems that definitely trickled down to Gen Z but this is a whole new thing. I had books, VHS tapes and eventually DVDs, action figures/dolls, video games you didn't need to be connected to the internet for... the PLAYGROUND. Gen alpha will see less value in these things in shamefully increasing amounts.

Who remembered watching Barney?

I got KZfaq at age 7 I wasn’t gen Z/ alpha I was watching art tutorials

Gen alpha alone, Is a problem. I remember when things were (well, in my day) 100x so damn better. Like, when you listed "older" things like: Watching cars on the dvd player, lincoln logs, adventure time/regular show, and lego, I felt so damn old realizing: "has it really been this long?!" man, have things changed.

I was born in 2011. I have loving, caring parents, but I was handed technology at a young age (yay). Lately, I’ve been trying to set time limits to my screen time, becoming more productive, reading financial books, and controlling my diet. Seeing the latter half of Gen Alpha, I am truly disappointed at parenting these days. Maybe when I’m older I’ll just escape into rural Russia or Austria to just escape from modern society.

as someone who is in gen alpha i played with legos and pokémon cards when i was young 6:17

Dude, the Silent Generation thought that Elvis wiggling his hips was depraved content

2006 kid here. Nothing will ever beat the memory of me and my lil brother going outside, picking up a bunch of dirt and leaves, bringing them inside the house and into the laundry basket, turning off the lights and dancing around the basket to “bring back the sun or some shit”. My mom would be horrified. I can tell why some parents give iPads to their kids to avoid such situations but let’s be honest, kids need that kind of stimulation. If you can’t handle your kids getting messy with dirt then don’t have them. Kids are the messiest lil shits but they need that messiness to literally grow up. A lot of parents don’t understand that nowadays. At the moment I babysit a bunch of kids and I make them do these activities where we glue leaves onto a paper but I swear to god they go CRAZY when the parents come back, begging to know where the parents hid the screens. This generation is kinda doomed but I do see some hope if we can get them to play outside more

I remember seeing the first Ipad kids when I was 13(2010) and I thought about how weird it was that a device is basically being treated as a babysitter. Now it's worse

As someone who want to be a father in the foreseeable future, I'd rather Gen Beta have nothing in common with Gen Alpha.

As an older gen alpha kid, I did grow up with a Wii and cars on DVD players and DIDNT have an iPad in my face

Im from Gen Z and when i was a little kid, i played with Lego or I did some puzzles. My whole room was full with puzzles this is how many I had. When I was older I began to read books about crimes and crazy cyberspace adventures. I just started to get into the internet stuff when the Corona Pandemic hit ( I was 13 at that time). Its so sad to see how these little kids dont have an atention spine. Literally a 4 year old can more talk in the internet slang than i could ever talk 😨. Everything you just said is right and even I think my social skills could be higher even though I dont even have TikTok. Its really sad to see how companies make profit by destroying kids brains

I feel so sorry for these kids. I was lucky to not be exposed to the internet until I was 10 and actually went outside and played with toys. I'm even seeing this lousy parenting with my little cousins. One of them is only 4 but his parents gave him his own phone. Its just so sad bc he's such a sweet kid and I'd hate to see him grow up into a terrible adult

Bro this is so true, I have a six year old nephew, and all he does is stare at those screens. TV, Switch, Laptop, Phone, Tablet, anything that just isn't real. This world truly is doomed.

Juvenoia is a thing but our interests were always called "stupid" and "inappropriate" as kids rather than "completely and utterly incoherent"

I can’t wait for someone to say “Gen alpha chain” I’m placing my bets on within the 5 minutes

I can admit, my entire class in the lunch room is saying the phrase "your so skibidi, your so fanum tax" and I feel like my brain is about to gain 4 tumours

Omg, you reminded me of linkin logs. I loved that 💩

As somebody born in Late gen z (2011) i grew up watching cars on dvd all the time

The kid shows that are on TV nowadays scare the hell out of me

As a child who had a tablet at 3 I surprisingly preferred toys so there is a tiny sliver of hope for gen alpha

As someone who’s born in 2011 I’m a gen z thank goodness, it sucks to see people like Nico avocado I’m thinking jeez go to the gym workout. One time I heard my neighbor’s daughter watching skibidi toilet I heard the dom skibidi dom yes yes song and, I’m like seriously? Also my local Walmart has so much lanky box crap! I saw some little girl looking at the things and was like mommy can I get the lanky box toy? When I see it I want to just drop kick it into space!

1:37 this toy..i loved this toy. Its my childhood. I used to make airplanes and houses n stuff..this man made me tear up fr

5:43 Peoples' attention spans actually are getting down to that of a goldfish. It's worrying, I don't want my friends and family to become mindless zombies.

3:11 this isn’t a “bruh” moment anymore, what the actual f*ck is this

Great video mate! Just two questions: 1. What is the song at 1:15 to ca 1:30? I've been searching this song for YEARS since I heared it as a small child. 2. Why is this world getting worse? I'm happy that my two Gen Alpha cousins are actually learning important things and don't watch that shit. We should pray for Gen Alpha!

That human head thing coming out of a 🚽 scares the hell out of me. 😱

As an 11 year old that’s part of gen alpha, I wish our generation didn’t have the reputation of iPad kids, skibidi toilet, sigma, and other weird things like that. I wish kids like me were the head of gen alpha, because I actually go outside and my parents raised me right.

I remember every kid with a BladeBlade would do the movements like in the show, and in our mind, we thought it would power it up and make it stronger.

I love being a generation alpha that owns a dvd player, 3DS’s, and used to play with toys, because that was so much fun and it sucks because the pandemic had made me phone-addicted to the point where back in 5th grade my grades dropped so far down. Now this year, my grades are fine and I’m back in the accelerated classes. Who knows what could’ve happened if I hadn’t grown up on reading books, going outside, watching cable and actually being a kid, (basically anything BUT an iPad) what would happened to me by now. (tl;dr: I grew up without an ipad, then the pandemic destroyed my mentality but it’s fine now)

2:43 plz don't give me ptsd flashbacks

I'm part of Gen Z myself. While I did grow up learning how to use the computer and spending some time playing with game consoles like the DS and Wii, I couldn't be entertained exclusively by tech. I admit that I roll my eyes wherever I see a toddler watching videos on their parent's phone.

They are too busy sticking out their gyatts for the Rizzler. we were born in the wrong generation. 😔

Fr I got rejected twice and it’s because I have bad social skills and looked up how to get W rizz and my mental health took a f***ing hit man 😢

Meanwhile my nephew at 2: throws my phone across my room

I still belive gen alpha will realize how stupid they are when they grow up.

0:34 If you grew up with Blues Clues and you’re so OG that you remember when Steve went to college, you deserve a billion awards.

I would wait my kids be 13 before they are allowed social media. 4:24 I am going to block him from my memory.

as a gen alpha, I'm grateful that my parents let me hang out with my friends play hide n seek and other
