Summary

What are young people talking about these days? And what do the unusual words they say mean? In a bid to understand Gen Z, Jacob Jarvis speaks with Olive Pometsey and Jade Wickes of The Face magazine to decipher the latest slang, and to ask how it comes about and why it’s so popular. “What sets us apart is that we’re the first generation to grow up with smartphones.” – Jade Wickes “Nothing is that serious, it’s all just self-deprecating humour.” – Jade Wickes “At its core slang is just like a shorthand and it takes on a life of its own.” – Jade Wickes “Everyone's blending together and that’s a very Gen Z thing, you want to be a bit of everything.” – Olive Pometsey “The Gen Z humour is very ironic and dry and self-referential which is reflected in the slang.” – Olive Pometsey Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Assistant Producer: Elina Ganatra. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. Audio production by Jade Bailey.
