I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don't worry, but thank you to those that did... Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now

fw = fuck with; to bother with something, to be often enjoying something
jjk = Jujutsu Kaisen; it's some anime series
toji = Fushiguro Toji, a character from the anime series above
phonk = some hip-hop subgenre
edits = she's referring to AMVs, like the 40yo says. You pick a bunch of video scenes from a work (often an anime series) and plop some music over them.
to go hard = in this context "to be exciting", "to be really great"
So, translated: "I don't even care about Jujutsu Kaisen, but those AMVs using phonk music and Toji scenes are bloody amazing".
And uh, today I've realised I can instantly recognise anime references but I had to websearch what's some "ivy league".

I just checked it. I got no money so I'm donating feelings. (I hope things get better!)
- Oh, I just assumed those were just made up words...I'm not even 30...
- I thought fw was an email thing...
  I think I need a nice cup of tea and a sit down
  
  What you're likely thinking about is "FWD:", which is something that usually comes up in an email's title whenever that email is being forwarded to you.
  
  and 'fw' to me means firewall. I'm tired and my body hurts all the time.
- I wonder how they'd feel about AMV Hell.
- Your knowledge is so great. Also what is Ivy league???
  
  Also what is Ivy league???
  Wikipedia says it's some athletic conference of private unis in USA. Apparently the unis in the league are really important; it's like having a term to refer to people who graduated in ENS-PSL, or the Polytechnique, or Paris-Saclay. (From your profile you're from France, right? I'm kind of adapting the situation.)
- I'm happy to say I actually knew all of these. Except for Toji but it was clear from context that they're a character from JJK.
- I applaud your fluency in young-people-speak.
- started giggling at layer 2. lost it and had to recompose myself at layer 5. How deep does it go?
  
  Anime Music Video. It's exactly what that sounds like.
- Now that tiktok is going to be an oligarch-owned right wing outlet, can we revert away from Gen Z pidgin?
  
  I never used tiktok in my life and knew all of this. It just became normal internet slang (I'm 22 btw)
  
  Gen Z/Gen Alpha slang is interesting linguistically
  Also there's been a trend of older generations hating on the slang of younger generations for hundreds of years, and I guess you got caught up in the older part
  
  fr if genz boomer shit has L rizz we use skibidi gen alpha slang
- ... There were words there?
- I'm 26 and this helped a lot, thank you
Even older me has no clue what the 40yo is even referring to, let alone the younger gf. Probably I'm just the wrong gender & orientation.
- AMV anime music video. It's an anime montage to match a song. If you want the OG brainrot, you watch AMV Nightcore of Naruto
  
  Linkin Park X Naruto was my teenage years
  
  There's also AMV video format. It's an awful proprietary low resolution, low sample rate, mono, low framerate format with no public documentation that may also be the single only video format those Chinese "MP4" players that cannot play MP4 support.
  I've got one of those. Funny enough, it somehow supports FLAC.
  Someone reverse-engineered it, so now ffmpeg can convert it too.
  
  That's why - I don't watch much anime. Thanks for the explanation!
- AMV = anime music video, clipping an anime to make a music video
  Like this https://youtu.be/VdUPwR6mzXo
- I'm not entirely sure either. I got some of it but not all of it
Back in the day.... there were so many of these.. so, so many...
DBZ/Linkin_Park AMV
You don't understand... unless you were in the trenches with us on Napster/Kazaa/LimeWire/WinMX.... so.. so many DBZ/Linkin-Park videos...
- I always liked the Weezer Bebop one

- Peak amv
- Oh my god... thank you so much for reminding me of this video. I haven't seen this in like a decade.

This one is my OG AMV. I done about wore the link to this out back in the day. Good memories.
Fr tho I’m 36 and fw Toji so hard. Man’s a legend
