The 35-year-old mom has left fellow millennials jaw-dropped after revealing the odd new trends Gen Alpha has adopted, according to her middle school-aged daughter
While sitting in the pick up line at her daughter’s school, Faith details the trends she spots.
She said: ‘Do not even think about wearing pants that even hint at being tight. Don’t even try it. A straight-leg jean is like, barely making the mark. If you do anything, that’s the takeaway.’
In addition to avoiding skinny jeans, the mom also noted you needed to stay away from ‘jackets’ and ‘cardigans’ as she said that hoodies were the new go-to outerwear.
‘Hoodies, hoodies, hoodies, there is nay a cardigan in sight. There are barely jackets. It’s all about hoodies,’ she said.
Faith went on to discuss some beauty trends that she’s spied being sported by the youngsters – noting that star-shaped blemish stickers have become so popular that they are actually traded as currency among school kids.
‘Starface pimple patches are social currency,’ she explained. ‘They are also a replacement for, like, money, I’ve been told. So, you can trade them for other things, but they’re absolutely an accessory, not just a necessity, but they’re both.’
The mom also said that long, ‘2000-style haircuts’ are coming back for middle school boys before noting that her daughter referred to them as ‘Chad cuts.’

In another clip, she revealed that the beloved phone accessories pop sockets were making their way out.
The next trend on its way out was ‘personal’ to Faith.
She added: ‘This next one is also very much an attack on millennials, and I apologize in advance, because it hurts me too, throwing up a cute peace sign when you’re trying to take like a cute, fun selfie is no longer a thing.
‘In fact, my daughter always tells me it’s ‘cringe’ when I do it. It is, however, acceptable to do a heart, or if you really want to impress, you can do the middle finger big heart.
Lastly, she noted that the word ‘slay’ was over with.
Faith said: ‘And last but not least, “slay” is very much on its way out. You can say “major,” but that’s still kind of for, like, the old cool kids.
Millennials flooded the comments section and expressed their sadness at some of their favorite things no longer being trendy
My daughter says that you need to say that “you ate that.” For example, when she likes the dinner I cooked, she says, “you ate that.”‘
Millennials flooded the comments section and expressed their sadness at some of their favorite things no longer being trendy.
One person said: ‘You can pry my leggings of my cold dead body.’
Someone else added: ‘ As a mom to a 13-year-old I can attest that this is correct. You ate that.’
Another person said: ‘I can’t stop saying slay it’s an addiction at this point.’
One user wrote: ‘Oh, I’m upset.’
