As we have discussed and deconstructed generation z and alpha in our previous write-up and discussed some of their perilous digital cells. Let’s peep into some more gen-z terminologies and words.
Incels use highly sophisticated language for their mutual communication inside their cells. Some are as follows:
Red pills VS blue pills theory: this concept was inspired by incels from the famous Hollywood blockbuster movie ‘Matrix’. Red pills mean uncomfortable enlightened reality while blue pills are used for peaceful ignorance about incels.
Ovarian lottery: Incels believe on the concept of Warren Buffet who says that individuals do not have control over the circumstances they are born into, for instance their family’s wealth, their country of birth or innate abilities. Thus, we practice randomness of life’s luck.
Back in years, some sad incidents occurred due to such devilish incel cultures. In 2014, an incel shot six persons which was later on celebrated with great triumph in many incel cells. In 2021, an incel boy tramped over ten persons with a van and called it ‘Incel Rebellion’. Thus they want to eradicate all those men and women having wealth and talent to speak against atrocities. On such revengeful nature, Frederick Nietzsche once said, “nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.”
Incel Language
Let’s have some Gen-Z cum incel vocabs
Chad: to masculine face
Stacy: woman on top female social hierarchy. She is the more despised among incels. She is the most attractive woman is obviously the worst enemy of incels as she is beyond their reach.
Manosphere: Allience – men’s right activists, alpha male influencers.
Looks making; to avoid social reasons and to work on oneself in order to attract woman via gym etc.
Becley: conventionally less beautiful women.
Nugging: ignore and insult every attractive female.
Using memes in their language as Karen for 35-45 years old women, Susan for 45-60 years old ladies, Becky for 19-35 years old females and Haileigh/Kaelec/Mayli for 0-10 years old teen girls.
Drugs Symbols in Incel Culture
Horse for Ketamine, Cell phone for Dealer, Green Leaf Yellow Leaf or Green Tree for Marijuana or Cannabis, Pill for MDMA and many more.
Violence Symbol
Incels use the sign of Skull for Crime, Threat for Ambulance, Hand for Far Right, Black Fag for Extremism, Beans for incel and 100 for 20/80 rule etc.
Some More Gen-Z Terms
Slay: impressively dominating
Lit: excellent/exciting
Bet: slang for okey
Flex: to show-off
Simp: someone who does too much for someone they like
Vibe/Yap: atmosphere or feeling of a place, person or situation
GOAT: greatest of all time
Stan: enthusiastic or obsessed with
Lowkey: opposite of highkey. To be very subtle or not very obvious about something.
Rizz: charismatic
Research says that 25 pc of the Gen-Z are involved in mental health issues. A study in 2022 disclosed that 70 pc of the generation were clinically diagnosable but didn’t get their parents attention while 45 pc got severe anxiety and violence became the outcome of the resentment. This was a solid reason that country like Australia banned the usage of social media under the age 16.
Regulation of screen timing is necessarily important for this generation by the guardians. We could save our generation before they fall apart in front of our eyes. We should guide and motivate them timely. Somehow it is not easy to persuade such a generation consistently sloganeering “I am bold, I am clear, all that idea that is not cool, isn’t for us” but nothing is impossible in the world full of possibilities.
