Can the author please tell us if ANYONE has paid $2.99 for their complete unc report

that's gonna be a no for me dawg (unc saying, right?)

Fo shizzle

Maybe clicking that button unlocks an even higher unc tier.

bet

I use "Noted" as inside joke with a friend, we use messenger and the default emoji of the theme we use is a pencil, sometimes he sends me it by accident and one day I started replying "noted" when this happens, now he also does this.

The nice thing about aging is at some point you get to laugh about all the stupid and cringey things the next younger generation did.

Okay, as i get older i run into more of these scenarios where the new lingo is mostly beyond me. However this is not a complaint, if anything i'm more confused at how i grew up hearing "it'll happen to you!!" doom and gloom over frustration of youth lingo, yet i revel in it.

I find it fun in the way that new languages are fun, minus most of the work. Usually the new phrases are just a new word or two, far from the effort of learning a real new language.

And as a bonus you can then use the new lingo and make the youth groan out of second hand embarrassment. It really is a joy that i don't get why my older folks from my youth didn't enjoy. Then again i have zero concern about getting older (beyond health decline of course), so maybe that's the root of it.

Regardless, i bet i'm Unc. Lets see.

edit: Unc Score: 30, Soft Unc

New Balance is in. OP is unc.

New Balances with the dad jeans is trendy-unc. The comeback was at its peak around a decade ago, maybe a bit less.

White socks with the sandals were very trendy just a while ago as well though. I'd say the author of that site is definitely unc.

The real unc is non-trendy so therefore new balances are non-unc, which makes them unc

The social section is also just selecting for introverts it asocial people

But they expect a few wrong

All the children here wear fanny packs and have been for almost a year. Same vein.

Kind of doesn't work because lots of these are gen z/alpha. They feel relieved when plans get cancelled, they cancel things day of. The should have been a few youth tells in there to trip us up instead of any tick being an unc score.

bit out of date on some of these. y2kcore is back so polo and slim jeans are fashion foward atm look at prices on hedi slimanes on grailed & you get the picture

Unc Score 24 Youth Score 76

Mostly fine, but a few cracks are showing. Stay vigilant.

I have an unc/age ratio below 0.5! Surprising...

I thought Unc was Gen Z but the site claims Gen Alpha? Or moving the media generations overton window?

this is def alpha coded in my opinion - dad of both z and alpha types. we didn't hear about side parts -> it is not gen z

Rizz was definitely gen z as well as some of the other slang on here.

20 unc / 80 youth

Are you 20? I got 35 unc which is a few points less than my IRL age.

I'm curious at what (if any) age the mean score skews to greater than age in years. I expect there are multiple brackets, the very young won't check off many at all but by some of the entries are sufficiently niche that when an octogenarian takes the test they won't hit more than 80% of the options.

I'm 38 but I spend enough time on the Internet and around kids/young adults

Unc? Im Grandpa

Kids these days...

if you have to ask...

Um. I got 18 Unc / 82 Youth.

I'm about to turn 61. What is happening? (I guess that's a pretty unc question. Oh well.)
