I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now

I applaud your fluency in young-people-speak.
AMV?
Anime Music Video. It’s exactly what that sounds like.
started giggling at layer 2. lost it and had to recompose myself at layer 5. How deep does it go?
Oh, I just assumed those were just made up words…I’m not even 30…
Now that tiktok is going to be an oligarch-owned right wing outlet, can we revert away from Gen Z pidgin?
Gen Z/Gen Alpha slang is interesting linguistically
Also there’s been a trend of older generations hating on the slang of younger generations for hundreds of years, and I guess you got caught up in the older part

It hasn’t happened to me yet. I literally edited AMVs of Evangelion to System of a Down in iMovie on a gen1 iMac back in high school, but I can still understand the kid’s slang alright. I don’t think that everyone become a curmudgeonly generation hater as they age.

Absolutely, and you don’t even have to understand it to not be an ass about younger generations doing what every generation does.
I had no idea what the fuck the “younger gf” part was saying until I read the translation. But I’ve just accepted that I’m not young and cool anymore, and that’s okay.
There are way more important things happening in the world to get mad about than some people not using the same words and phrases that I grew up with.
I never said it’s everyone, I just said there’s a trend of it happening, sorry if you misunderstood what I meant
I don’t think you said that either, just musing.

I never used tiktok in my life and knew all of this. It just became normal internet slang (I’m 22 btw)

What you’re likely thinking about is “FWD:”, which is something that usually comes up in an email’s title whenever that email is being forwarded to you.
and ‘fw’ to me means firewall. I’m tired and my body hurts all the time.
I’m 26 and this helped a lot, thank you
… There were words there?
I’m happy to say I actually knew all of these. Except for Toji but it was clear from context that they’re a character from JJK.
Your knowledge is so great. Also what is Ivy league???

I wonder how they’d feel about AMV Hell.
Even older me has no clue what the 40yo is even referring to, let alone the younger gf. Probably I’m just the wrong gender & orientation.
AMV anime music video. It’s an anime montage to match a song. If you want the OG brainrot, you watch AMV Nightcore of Naruto
Linkin Park X Naruto was my teenage years
There’s also AMV video format. It’s an awful proprietary low resolution, low sample rate, mono, low framerate format with no public documentation that may also be the single only video format those Chinese “MP4” players that cannot play MP4 support.
I’ve got one of those. Funny enough, it somehow supports FLAC.
Someone reverse-engineered it, so now ffmpeg can convert it too.
That’s why - I don’t watch much anime. Thanks for the explanation!
AMV = anime music video, clipping an anime to make a music video

Back in the day… there were so many of these… so, so many…
You don’t understand… unless you were in the trenches with us on Napster/Kazaa/LimeWire/WinMX… so… so many DBZ/Linkin-Park videos…
I always liked the Weezer Bebop one
This one is my OG AMV. I done about wore the link to this out back in the day. Good memories.
