Will tumblrspeak syntax die anytime soon? Books like that jonny sun one... Are they of marginal importance or are they something to be enthusiastic about?

What are you talking about?

Christopher Lasch talked about this as a symptom of the obliteration of a stable sense of self

When writers make the conscious choice to use "u" instead of "you"

What's more baffling is that this person used "u" and "you" in the same message

They're flirting, the "u" is supposed to make it seem like a casual request, but the "you" shows they're nervous and have probably rewritten this message at least once. Learn to read subtext, grandpa.

>Learn to read subtext

Assuming anyone on Yea Forums is able to understand subtext. top kek. just watch every philosophy thread ever.

That she's nervous doesn't necessarily imply flirtation, she could be nervous because this is essentially an illegal request in text, like talking to a drug dealer (otherwise why wouldn't she buy the alcohol herself?), so she wants to phrase it as delicately as possible in order to maximize the chances of an affirmative reply.

wtf is 'big big valid'

i dont know the half-baked lingo, but it seems to mean affirmative/understood

I'd guess something like "that's reasonable" or even "that's a valid reason".

NO

the fuck you mean? are kids seriously doing this shit on purpose?

Writing u instead of you is not a matter of syntax

this. I have an extremely zoomer vocabulary and even I haven't heard someone say that shit
t. 19 year old college freshman surrounded by "that's a mood" and similar shit

woow heckin pupper aaaa???? cute doggo,,,,hashtag retweet

>"that's a mood"
haven't heard this one before. what's it mean, and in what contexts is it used?

it's a stock phrase to respond to anything bad happening to anyone else, as an expression of sympathy
>I got a D on the midterm
>oof / that's a mood / big oof / big mood

why "that's a mood"? how did this expression come about

I think it came from Twitter, but I'm not certain. it's definitely influenced by the rise of pessimistic/depressed "relatable" memes, but the source of the exact wording eludes me

Anytime white kids start saying some stupid shit assume they got it from a black guy

and that a jew payed the black guy to say it

what the fuck

>kurt
She wants to continue to believe that he may purchase alcohol for her in the future. If you're flirting with someone, you don't offer them financial compensation. She would invite him to go camping. And I don't know how old you are, but I was highly nervous about doing illegal things when I first started doing them, especially text requests for illicit substances or substances procured for illicit use. That's what this looks like to me. I think you're thinking with your dick, here.

honestly, I don't know, but all I can say is that it's big relatable

I'm 21 and this is the first time I've ever heard of this. Looks like you and I are over the hill.

this is definitely tumblr-speak, they use words like "valid" and "expression" and a lot of the rhetoric of bubble gum identity-driven progressivism with even less substance. It stems from a bunch of feel-good vibes with some psychological/clinical window dressing

Vernacular language has always been a think. It's how languages broke off from Latin and became Italian, French etc

well it seems like she's underage

well it's like any kind of generational patter isn't it?

wow you're like the oblivious user reading nietzsche only you're not a meme

lol its probably his sister you psychos

and it's easy to discern what 'big big valid' means from context if you're familiar with "big mood" or "__ is valid", it's just a slight mutation- slang is malleable like that

That she is below the requisite purchasing age is an absolute certainty. She has the money to pay for alcohol or else she wouldn't have offered to pay him, and she must be underage to do this otherwise she would buy the alcohol herself.

your reasoning is flawless

I don't see a flaw. If she were his brother then it I'm sure there would be no need to preface the text with her name, and if she were of age but simply couldn't get to the liquor store for lack of time or transportation she wouldn't call it a "weird question." This is as close as you can get to apodicticity in a text message.

It's just language you nitwit

My favourite is ivory tower university n*groids and wh*te girls saying “ya’ll” in a trite imitation of lower class POC.

>POC
shut the fuck up

it will die as it is replaced by something you will doubtless find even more senseless and debased

such is the way of language

yeah. we were in agreement.
>If she were his brother then it I'm sure there would be no need to preface the text with her name
not necessarily. last time i texted my brother was september

This shit. This shit makes my fucking skin crawl. Scarcely anything more nauseating than listening to a WASP adjunct who's only upper middle class because she married into a Jewish family pronounce "y'all" with that cheese-grating nasally "a." Like acupuncture for your ear drums

girls (and boys) at english universities do this as well but with south london roadman dialect

as someone who grew up in Tennessee and now lives in California, absofuckinglutely this

I still can't get over Pynchon using 'sez' and occasion emoticons.

>how many fucking different ways do zoomers need to say "I relate to this funny relatable situation haha"
They need a million ways because that one sentiment makes up 50% of social media, and saying it the same way gets boring.

Pynchon did it ironically though

literally who cares. this isn't ruining anyones life

imagine being a woman lmao

she looks like the kind of girl who would flirt with her students if she were a teacher

why do you post smug anime photos

do you think you are smart

or clever

because if you do

you are not

One punch man is one of those things like Scott pilgrim where if a person posts a pic of it I just think “lol.. sad” very transparent, revealing the naked core of their soul. sadboy romanticism and irony. Interesting wiki link though

Interesting. I just found the pic effective at conveying the smugness, didn't know it had any particular aura. Never saw the anime.

god what goes through the insect lizard brains of these pua bugpeople

Sorry. Youre cured.. don’t worry. The analysis is no longer applicable

>ivory tower university n*groids
Almost all blacks in America talk like this though. Even the middle class and upper class ones. They put on a fake white voice when they're in a professional setting and they talk hood at home and with fellow blacks. They think broken hood slang is their "language."

It's forgivable when zoomers do it, you grew up into net culture as facebook capitalized on narcissism.

What drives me crazy is when millennials do it. Had a friend chatted with online since I was 14. We finally met irl in our mid 20's and she suddenly only knew how to talk in these trite memes and vine shit. Even to shut me down on serious subjects. eg: "can't relate"

>broken hood slang
umm its called AAVE dude

Call it whatever you want. It's still broken hood slang.

>prescriptive linguistics

Yep, fuck having having standards!

The effort that over-educated bugs put into defending the anti-intellectualism of blacks is truly something to behold

big mood

there's a difference between prescriptive linguistics and dislike 'linguistic evolution' that obviously has an agenda behind it

>hey we're going to start using more complicated verbal aspects and moods to make our dialect of English more able to express complicated ideas

yeah, shakespeare used a colourful (ungrammatical) dialect & coined new words

You seem a little upset, DeShawn.

thanks
I assume your point is that the Shakespeare was a Jew, and while Shakespeare authorship debates are interesting, they're currently irrelevant
I'm white thanks

>I'm white thanks
you're not white you're a swpl

>shakespeare was a jew
>"white"

are you misspelling WASP on purpose?
I didn't say Shakespeare was a Jew, I said that he implied Shakespeare was a Jew. learn to read

... no my point was shakespeare was on the side of new ‘anti-intellectual’ language ie I was agreeing w you

and shakespeare authorship debates are anything but interesting

>big valid
wtf is that even supposed to mean?

oh cool, sorry to mischaracterize you. and just to be clear, my calling the debates interesting was meant to be sarcastic

this is literal boomer behavior, stop it

I don't take pride in it, I'm genuinely concerned

here have a (You) uWu im just feeling EXTRA today U.U xD xd D XD

Don't. Underage kids should not be drinking alcohol anyway.
This, to be quite desu

People have been doing that long before tumblr was even a thing.

How fucking new.

Grace is an ugly chick. Ask me how I know.

I would have to agree with this kind of, especially with the inclusion of aaaa and the need to use parentheses when identifying who they are, they sound incredibly insecure and is semi interested in the receiver and probably salivates over conan obrien

Cloud Atlas fucked up zoomer thinking. The movie, I mean. Every time there’s discussion, it’s a big sad. Any time someone trips on a stairwell, if just briefly, small oof. They’re just dumb, breathing sound effects and elementary feelings.

this is a problem for me because I can no longer respect my peers as human beings after I hear them say something like "big oof"

Dont remind me, user. I dont want a boner right now

as long as people need to type messages on a device the size of a cell phone, shorthand like this will always be prevalent

this fuckin 2013 patter is mortifyingly embarassing and i can't believe its not dead yet

the internet is so staganant nowadays it's really weird

>muh boomer tier behaviour
>talking like im on twitter in 2014 is genuinely funny get with the time gramps!!!

do you know how pathetic it is to either:
>be 18+ yo yet so immersed in stupid fuckin trendy teen internet culture that you absorb this stuff through osmosis
or
>be "out of touch" yet proactively look up the new weekly black twitter word that replaces an already existing word but sounds gayer

so much of this language sounds horribly gay and is completely disposed of within a month or wears out its welcome and lasts for years, no one says senpai anymore but young girls think typing an elipses with commas is funny and quirky, both are absolutelty cringe worthy

>If you're flirting with someone, you don't offer them financial compensation.
You're such a virgin it's painful. A girl often plays it cool and then, later, in person, she might offer something beyond cash. Like her body for example. I'm being explicit so you can keep up. Girls don't want to come out and say it, that often makes them feel unattractive. They want YOU to make the move.

>And I don't know how old you are, but I was highly nervous about doing illegal things when I first started doing them
I believe you. I'm sure you were very nervous that one time you jay-walked in your suburban residential neighborhood.

>I think you're thinking with your dick, here.
I'm thinking, which is more than I can say for you.

"That's a mood coming ove me" or something like that. It's not that hard to understand.

literally what the fuck are y'all talking about.

I'm from Texas and literally everybody uses "y'all" whether from the suburbs, the city, the country or the ghetto. Does it really carry a weird connotation when used elsewhere? I mean if anything I figured white people were more likely to use it.

Guys I know the way women and gay men type is irritating but you didn't need to make an entire thread about this
