This is the current generation

Lying down in a feild just for your Instagram and teenage boys heckle you

[u/atheistium]

They also say unalive and all the other weird filter shit.

It's actually mad

[u/Hulkaiden → u/atheistium]

ahh doesn't have anything to do with filters. It's AAVE that eventually made its way onto the internet and became widespread.

[u/AndromedaAirlines → u/Hulkaiden]

It's AAVE that people started using to dodge filters.

[u/Hulkaiden → u/AndromedaAirlines]

It's literally never been about filters. That's just parroted on Reddit by people that have no idea what they're talking about. It was "goofy ahh sound effects" that really made it popular.

[u/Longjumping_Bit_4608 → u/Hulkaiden]

Yes it is. You don't know what your talking about. They say ahh because they don't want to swear

[u/Hulkaiden → u/Longjumping_Bit_4608]

Where did you learn that? It’s been a term for almost twenty years. Online filters have literally nothing to do with it

[u/Longjumping_Bit_4608 → u/Hulkaiden]

I'm talking about the kids? Thats why its popular, even if it originated in AAVE, kids these days say it because they don't want to swear

[u/Hulkaiden → u/Longjumping_Bit_4608]

Are you a kid yourself? Everyone I know that talks this way, which is a lot, are fine swearing. They also say ‘ass’ plenty, they just use ‘ahh’ for emphasis cause they think it’s funny

In my experience the kids afraid of swearing also stay away from saying ahh.

[u/Longjumping_Bit_4608 → u/Hulkaiden]

My source are my cousins.

[u/Hulkaiden → u/Longjumping_Bit_4608]

You might just need more friends. Just because your cousins specifically use it to avoid swearing doesn’t mean the entire generation does.

I promise you most of Gen Z is not afraid of swearing

[u/Longjumping_Bit_4608 → u/Hulkaiden]

Then they don't say ahh

[u/Hulkaiden → u/Longjumping_Bit_4608]

What kind of argument are you making lmao. You can "nuh uh" all you want, this is how people talk. Most people aren't scared of swearing, but it's still popular slang because it has nothing to do with actually censoring the word ass.

[u/Longjumping_Bit_4608 → u/Hulkaiden]

People say ahh on tiktok because they don't want to swear

Kids say ahh in real life because they see it on tiktok

I'm done responding

[u/-SlowBar → u/Longjumping_Bit_4608]

Nope
