gen z humor
Ironic internet comedy
Gen Z humor is the comedic sensibility of people born roughly 1997–2012, characterized by absurdism, irony, and deliberate incoherence.
It favors surreal non sequiturs, self-deprecating jokes about anxiety and nihilism, and references that seem meaningless to outsiders: It's giving unhinged frog energy.
The humor often layers irony so thick that sincerity becomes indistinguishable from mockery.
Formats include deep-fried images, chaotic video edits, and captions that trail off mid-thought.
What reads as random to older generations usually operates on compressed cultural logic—you either get it or you don't.
