There is no such thing.
Gen-Z language is AAVE, also known as African American Vernacular Language.
Basically a bunch of white kids took the same words and phrases they used to call “ghetto” and “ratchet” and changed the name to “Gen-Z Language”
Girl 1:
“Girl, you what Gen-Z language is??”
Girl 2:
“No.. what is it?”
Girl 1:
Words like Chile, purr, period, fleek, woke, lit, etc. and phrases like ‘The gag is-’ ‘what’s the tea’ ‘bye Felicia’ etc.”

Girl 2:
“So... AAVE?”

Gen Z language

"Gen Z language" was thought of as a language by millenials and boomers and some make fun of it, not knowing that they're literally making fun of how black people speak.

Yes, believe it or not, a lot of the words you hear come from black people and what's called AAVE

AAVE is African American Vernacular Speech.

Gen Z Language

Gen Z Language, also known as Gen Z Slang or GZVE (Generation Z Vernacular English) is a type of English used mostly by zoomers.
The language is famous for its deeply intricated grammar and use of incomprehensible terms such as "bruh", "rizz", "yall", "let him cook" etc.
Some terms are also derived and interchangeable with Gen Alpha Language (for example the word "gyatt")

Fun fact: 80% of the words used in GZVE come from AAVE, meaning that every time you see a millenial or someone else saying how much Gen Z Language sounds goofy or dumb, they are indirectly saying that blacks speak like retards.
White person: Gen Z Language sounds so dumb
Black person1:idk dawg seems normal to me
Black person2: ong fr fr

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
