The millennial pause is from our old phones not starting to actually record for a second or two after we hit the button. It's a trust issue that some of us have with our technology. That said there are those of us that noticed when the shift happened.

not just phones. all visual, and alot of audio recording equipment worked that way. only recently do we have near instantaneous activation of the equipment. imagine in the days before vhs. ppl went thru alot of work to make a video, so they'd make damn SURE it was recording before they wasted time acting, both for cost effectiveness, and just sheer irritation of things not working as planned. rerecording the same scene over and over burns u out FAST.

that and most recording devices back then had a delay before recording so that's why there was a pause usually at the start of a video I've notices myself when I watch my old videos that I recorded back in the day and I hate it lol

That’s quite interesting. The gen z shake also kind of gives a sense of urgency and any time I’ve seen it, it’s made me feel more attentive to the video.

It seems that all gens have now accepted the word content is a synonym for video. I think the meaning of the word and its usage is still shifting but most people seem perplexed by the idea that it didn't always mean the same thing. At least it has a more specific modern meaning than “random” which is used as a synonym for many unrelated words.

I use the Harlem shake

I use the Gen X Apathy, which is a highly refined form of deep sigh that is simultaneously capable of being interpreted as ennui, self-loathing, wistful nostalgia, impatience, or a sardonic wordless "I told you so"--or any combination thereof--depending on the context, topic, timing, and the sigh-giver's own underlying undiagnosed trauma or neurodivergent condition.

No gen z shake. Never the gen z shake.

Definitely dislike the shake. I have to hit back on every video like that just to hear/understand the first few words anyone says. The "pause" allows for clearer communication and less abrupt changes. The immediate talking at the start of a video is usual a pain lol

I use both fr

How about the gen x “I don’t give a rat’s ass about social media?” It’s like this: …

That's not even why the millennial pause is a thing though, it has nothing to do with understanding social media and is more a reflection of the technology used during its inception.

Do we need a new world for everything?

Millennial here, It's funny those pauses bother the hell out of me because it looks like the person talking is switching between personalities and it looks a bit disingenuous. Some look outright psycho and especially when they choose to use the "fade from black" effect, making it even SLOWER Gen Z got this one right I think!

do people think they're doing sociology when they come up with these useless labels? you saw some gen z'ers shake their phones on tiktok, must be a social phenomena worth giving a name to
