In recent years, Gen Z has branded a slew of fashion trends as ‘millennial cringe,’ including skinny jeans, ankle socks, and most recently, wearing leggings to the gym.

Now, TikTok user Janelle Fuhrare has ruffled some feathers after declaring there should be a ‘Gen Z boot camp’ – where the younger generation could ‘coach’ millennials on social media etiquette.

Janelle laid bare all the things that she believes millennials need to do away with, beginning with using certain fonts on Instagram.

She declared the use of the fonts called Signature, Bubble, Squeeze, and Meme as ‘screaming millennial.’ 

‘I hate them so much, there’s no reason why you should be using these,’ she stated.

The social media savant then showed a list of Gen Z-approved fonts, which included Modern, Editor, Poster, Deco, and Directional.

‘[They’re fine], I really won’t think twice about it,’ she acknowledged.

But the best fonts – or the ‘most aesthetic’ – according to Janelle, are Literature, Elegant, Strong, Typewriter, and Classic.

Next, Janelle instructed millennials the Gen Z are now using the word ‘slay’ in a different way than they might be used to.

‘We’re saying it in sarcastic ways,’ she said of how Gen Z use the popular term. 

She said there’s a new way to say slay, but it’s nonverbal. Instead, it’s a movement – and she demonstrated by nodding her head and touching her index finger and thumb together over and over.

Janelle held her thumb and index finger together explaining that it means ‘ate’ in sign language – which is Gen Z slang for something done exceptionally well – with the combination of the hand movement and the head nod supposedly conveying: ‘Yes, you ate with that.’

The third faux pas millennials are making, per Janelle, is taking the meanings of words too literally.

‘I’m dead, I’m deceased, I’m sick, I’m screaming, I’m throwing up – all good things,’ Janelle explained. 

‘Your friend posts a picture on Instagram you comment, “I’m sick, I’m deceased” – that basically means you look amazing,’ she enthused.

Janelle concluded her video by saying she ‘unfortunately’ she has so many more – much to the distain of her millennial followers.

‘Social media etiquette?!? Girlfriend, we are the creators of social media,’ raged one user. 

‘Proud to be part of a generation that doesn’t get triggered by fonts,’ joked someone else.

‘Appreciate you but we also invented social media so I’m going to go be cringe in my little corner,’ declared another follower.  

Last month, a new report from the Wall Street Journal which declared leggings are officially ‘dead’, with Gen Z mocking the fashion trend.

The fashion staple, which has been worn for years everywhere from the gym to the grocery store, has now been replaced by loose-fitting sweatpants.

A report titled ‘The Death of Leggings’ by retail analyst group EDITED revealed that sales of leggings made up almost 47 percent of all athleisure bottoms in 2022.

This year, however, that number plunged to 38.7 percent, marking a significant decline.

With leggings supposedly out, the new trend, according to Gen Z, is to wear baggy workout pants with a tight top.

In some cases, a baggy T-shirt is also paired with the loose pants for a totally oversized look, à la Billie Eilish.
