Boomer Couple’s “Gen Z Style” Tour Of Zoo Goes Viral, People Call It “Marketing Genius”

“Northumberland Zoo hits different,” said one of its directors, Brian Bradley, who, alongside his wife Linda, posted a clip promoting their establishment using a variety of Gen Z terms in an extremely nonchalant manner.

As the boomer couple strolled through the UK Zoo, they described an owl as having “main character energy,” advised people having a “menty b” (short for mental breakdown) to take a walk by the river, and told a donkey to “slay,” all while visibly clueless about the meaning of what they were saying.

The video was a hit with audiences, as it went viral on both Instagram and TikTok since being uploaded last Friday (September 6), with netizens loving the confused couple’s attempt at using Gen Z lingo.
