I don’t get it.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 32 points 10 months ago

Wouldn't next-up be Gen A?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 83 points 10 months ago

He's making a pun, you twits (affectionate usage of the word)

Gen A

I'm not a smart man JENN-AY but I know what love iz

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 29 points 10 months ago

Oh fuck. Thank you for explaining the joke. I for real didn't get it. LoL

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago

I think OP's joke is that Gump pronounced Jemny as "gen aaaay" or Gen-A. Unfortunately the generation is named Gen Alpha not Gen-A.

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 5 points 10 months ago

That's an alpha move I'd say

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I’m not a smart man.

My dumb brain was thinking. “Why is Gen A important? Does the A stand for AIDS?”

[-] Daxter101 5 points 10 months ago

Same

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Forrest got it.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago

It's already been named. It's Generation Alpha.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

I think Gen A and me will be like peas and carrots.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

As Gen X, this is hilarious.

They called us Gen X because they didn’t want to bother understanding what personality we might have as a group.

Then people started counting from there for the next generation’s placeholder names.

Y became millennials Z is zoomer, but I don’t think that’s going to stick. They may stay Z because they are X’s kids. Time will tell.

It’s not like the boomers were ever Generation W.

My point is that it doesn’t really matter. They will be the millennials’ kids and they will get a name.

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

The W stands for wankers.

It's interesting how labels for generations are made both to understand them but also to avoid having to understand them and paint with broad strokes.

[-] FedFer@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 10 months ago

Parents can also have one child near the end of one generation and another at the beginning of the next one

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 14 points 10 months ago

Nah, Gen Æ and Gen Ø first.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 8 points 10 months ago

Gen &

The last letter of the alphabet.

[-] uriel238 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah Alphas are going to be confused with alpha males, a juxtaposition I would not inflict on anyone.

[-] match@pawb.social 7 points 10 months ago
