Gen Alpha slang moves faster than any before it, mostly because it spreads through short videos and games rather than school hallways. A lot of it is deliberately meaningless. Skibidi and 6-7 are less about a definition than about being in on the joke. Others carry a clear sense once you know them: aura is the effortless cool people notice in someone, chopped means ugly, and unc is what kids call anyone who seems old.
If you are a parent or teacher, the Gen Alpha slang guide explains which of these words are harmless, which are mean, and which come from corners of the internet worth knowing about. The brainrot words and Italian brainrot guides cover the meme characters behind many of them.
