February 7 2024- Gen Alpha, the generation born after 2010, has made its presence felt online this year, surprising older generations with surreal memes and new slang. The trend started with the “Skibidi Toilet” video series in February, featuring absurd animations that quickly went viral. Created by Alexey Gerasimov on YouTube, the series, depicting a war involving mega-toilets, gained immense popularity among kids on YouTube Shorts.
Over the summer, “Skibidi Toilet” became mainstream on TikTok, leaving many baffled by its appeal. Searches for its meaning peaked in October, according to Google Trends. Its rise on TikTok led some Gen Zers to worry about being replaced by Gen Alpha.
