53 Screenshots That Prove Exactly Why Millennials And Gen Z Can’t Get Along

Among all the ways of communicating, Gen Z prefers texting to anything else. It’s brief, not so formal, and very convenient. They even have their own etiquette and language for it. Messages without full stops, the peculiar use of emojis, and words you’ve never heard before are just a few things you have to know if you want to speak their lingo.

However, it seems that the older generations can’t quite keep up with the current texting trends anymore. Millennials receiving a text from Gen Z now equals deciphering a secret code.

To shed some light on how young people message, our Bored Panda team has provided a list of screenshots that perfectly reflect their language in written conversations. Keeping your Google search open might be necessary as you explore new ways Gen Z is spicing up their communication.
