Definition of «gen alpha»

"Gen alpha" refers to the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z, typically born from the early 2010s to the mid-2020s. In internet slang, the term is frequently used as a label for younger internet users who are perceived as being deeply immersed in specific, often incomprehensible, digital subcultures. It is sometimes used dismissively by older generations to mock the perceived lack of knowledge regarding older technology or cultural touchstones. The term often appears in discussions about the evolving nature of internet slang and the "brainrot" content associated with younger children.
