The moniker given to the country Indonesia as the country with world's highest average screen time — i.e. 6.05 hours per day throughout early 2020's, now 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025. This Indonesian people's screen time is claimed to "rival that of iPad kids", hence the prefix "i-" in this slang term "iPad kid society" (meaning "the society consisting of persons who are addicted to screens") akcually stands for "Indonesia".
With everyone in Indonesia glued to their screens for over 7 hours a day, it's no wonder we call it the iPad kid society.

Originally from the "Cough like an iPad kid" slang from 2021 (referring to Generation Alpha and the tendency to cough with their mouth and tongue visible while on their tablet as young children). However, the 2024 version of iPad kid revolves around filing in the "..." with any verb and then laughing and saying "alrighttt", in the same tone as Jynxzi, immediately after in the form of ironic comedy.
The first known use of this new form of humour comes from a Jynxzi stream from June 24 where he appears to cough and read a chat instantly of a viewer telling him he coughs like an iPad kid.
This can be seen as a form of clip farming, the 2024 trend that is currently making a resurgence where streamers purposely act out of line in hopes of being clipped for clout.

The same kid with snot crusted hands and a booger coated laptop that is missing half the keys and has to have the screen propped up bc the hinge is broken and can't be unplugged bc it dies immediately and the power cord is always hanging in midair bc it is plugged into the furthest possible outlet all while not responding to their name, contorting themselves into knots nearly falling out of their chair and making random vocalizations from time to time.
Tina: I just had to take a 20 minute tour of the swamp thing's Minecraft house.
Sam: Whose?
Tina: "The kid over there eating his own snot bubble with the YouTube volume maxed out."
Sam: "oh yeah, Jennifer's kid, total iPad kid."

A dangerous disease which infects small children typically between the ages of two and ten. Symptoms include brain rot, lack of situational awareness, loud voice, and disgusting habits.
An iPad Kid is created after giving and iPad to an offspring immediately after exiting the womb. It is typically done to avoid raising the child or to distract from the divorce.

Eats while watching YouTube at full volume alone or with company. Lack of motor skills. Restricted diet.
Signs of an iPad Kid:

-Inability to consume anything other than dino nuggets, mac & cheese, or ice cream.
-upon removal of their iPad, they will immediately begin screaming & crying.
-Extreme stupidity; kindergarten dropout.
