Summary

Gen-Z slang is everywhere, there’s no point denying it. It’s not like Klingon, either. You can’t ignore it into oblivion. It’s here to stay.

Pop culture, digital marketing, movies, TV shows, books, and the entire internet in general is affected by this evolved diction. Words that previously had no meaning, words like "yeet" and "okurr", are now not only being recognized by and large by a whole demographic, but are also being used as part of their daily vocabulary.

This book, although not exhaustive, serves to help you understand and decode popular Gen-Z slang terms, tries to explore their rich history, and aims to make you become better versed in the colloquial speech of the young and trendy.

We’ll discuss possible origins of this language, how internet culture influenced the formation and propagation of these quirky phrases, and then, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular and common terms, catchphrases, and codewords out there.

We shall also go through Gen-Z’s dating slang, with commentary on how the modern landscape of myriad platforms and services has made what was once an arduous and romantic endeavor (dating) convenient, low-effort, and has simplified it to the point where it’s conventional to find someone online as opposed to being odd.

If you’re into history, if discovering the origins of things piques your curiosity, or if you’re simply looking to flex on the younger crowd that you know their terminologies and their secret language, this book will be a good primer for you while keeping things fun, casual, and light.

Start speaking Gen-Z slang, buy now!

Let's keep up with new words!

We don't have to know the latest craze among teenagers. But if we do, we can build closer connections with them. This book presents all trending topics and slang of the Gen-Z. These are much easier and more interesting than we thought. Great book!

THE bible to understand Gen Z

This audiobook is the perfect manual to understand Gen Z: their wording, their habits, what they like and dislike... etc
The information provided is thorough and well explained, while very funny.
This audiobook is an ideal resource to better understand the Gen Z's way of thinking, whether it is for personal/ familial purposes or for business purposes.

Brilliantly written

This book has confirmed that I’m officially in the “Old Boot Club”
I seriously learnt so much as I had never heard of this before. I feel like I’m down with the kids now hahah!
It’s brilliantly written, and the narrator had me in stitches. I love the way the book starts and where it goes. It amazingly informative with a large dose of comedy. This book is worth every penny !!

Such a fun, entertaining listen!

Ok, so as a millennial I wasn't expecting there would be many terms I don't know about, but I was proven wrong! This is a really entertaining audiobook, good-humoured, so if you feel like you're in the mood for a fun listen while also catching up with Gen-Z slang, here's your stop!

Interesting and helpful

I learned quite a bit from listening to this as I am not a part of the Gen Z, but let's face it, we need to be kept updated! This book mixes humor with facts and I really enjoyed that. This book can be helpful if you are a parent, teacher, or work in marketing. Overall 5/5

Easy to Follow!

This audiobook is fun, and kids find it entertaining. Also, it gives an insight into Gen Z: what they are like and their words. It is easy to follow, but I realized that this is truly a different generation.

A great listen

This is actually valuable information if you have a teenager and want to understand them more. This not only is entertaining but also funny and a unique concept for a book. I am familiar with Devon Knott and enjoy all his work! Would definitely recommend
