You can find the original article here. But the 11 words they call Gen Alpha slang, all with white-washed descriptions of them, are:

Bruh

Bussin

Cap/No Cap

Glazing

GOAT

Gyatt/gyat

Hits Different

It's Giving

Low-Key

Twin

Vibe

Honestly, I found the whole article disrespectful because of its complete lack of acknowledgement that all of these words originated with Black people, which is even more egregious considering that they had a literal language expert help them with the article. Some might say it's no big deal, but it is and it's a constant pattern: Black people create the trends, everyone else steals, gentrifies (perfect example of this is the sax sound effect that's been used on social media lately that's from Boyz in the Hood. If you google it it's literally described in some places as a "TikTok Trending Instrumental") or commercializes it, and then eventually the origins get "forgotten", not mentioned or known or that we were the originators gets ignored and someone or some other group gets the credit. And it's never gonna stop. That's why we need to collectively get better at gatekeeping. But we're too easily impressed, too damn inviting, or willing to let shit slide with people we know or like. Stop that shit.

He says places that used to be crawling with celebrities like Kings Road Cafe, Madeo, Mr. Chows, Crustacean, etc are all dead. Says one of things that killed the celebrity culture is private clubs, but somehow he's not realizing that his former employer is one of the reasons for this culture death; if TMZ hadn't been running around ambushing these people for a story on some bullshit, they wouldn't need private clubs.
