This is why they make fun of us.

Turns out the entire clan I was playing a game with was gen z, and they knew I was a millennial just because of the "lol" thing. They never made fun of me for it to be clear, but one day they did start calling me a millennial I was like "how the fuck do they know???", then they just started sending a bunch of messages capped with lol... Goddammit! LOL

Hit 'em back with the "gen Z slash".

You know, when a gen z human isn't entirely sure what they're describing/trying to communicate so they shoehorn both into the sentence with a slash (/).

Or just say "lowkey" every other sentence.

If it were allowed, this would be a good opportunity to a millennial to communicate via gif through the "hello fellow teens" meme.

I can’t stop it either and I noticed Gen Z does use lmao so you might be able to use that but overuse comes off as a bit much
