Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost

Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.

Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.

Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?

I was forged in the fires of Gmod before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's balls, kiddo

Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins

It’s also very reminiscent of the kind of content that 2000s newgrounds would host.

Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.

Skibidi doesn't have a universal meaning as a slang word. It gets tossed around differently depending on the group of friends using it.
