Get the gen alpha brain rot mug.Anyone born from the early 2010's to the present. If you think GenZ was annoying you'll die of cringe watching these fools' mere existence. They are practically copy-cats of GenZ except they just take slang and content, and turn it into a brain rotting parody of the original. They are practically the cargo cult of society, taking what they see as cool and new, and copying it without any understanding of what it means or how it works.

Get the Gen Alpha mug.Kids born in 2010-2024 who are definitely born in the wrong generation 100% and should stop being born in those years! The Gen Z people who where born in the 2000s (2000-2009) often complain about being born in the wrong generation and want to be born in the 1990s but in reality they where born in the last decent generation.
