Love Languages, But Make It Gen Z

Okay, we all know the OG five love languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Cute, classic, kinda formal. But let’s be real, Gen Z has our own ways of showing love. So, let’s remix them.

1. Memes & Inside Jokes (Words of Affirmation)

If I send you the most unhinged TikTok I’ve ever seen, just know that’s a love letter. Bonus points if we have a whole secret language based on niche memes.

2. Doing the Most (Acts of Service)

Ordering their DoorDash when they’re too tired to function? Helping them find their dream concert tickets? Love is effort, bestie.

3. Thoughtful Chaos (Receiving Gifts)

Not just any gift—hyper-specific, deeply personal gifts. A plushie of their comfort character? A playlist that perfectly matches their emotional damage? Chef’s kiss.

4. Presence Over Perfection (Quality Time)

It’s not about fancy dates—it’s about coexisting. Scrolling on our phones together in silence? Peak romance.

5. Physical Touch, but Make It Playful

Poking, tackling, laying on top of them like a weighted blanket. If I’m annoying, I care.

At the end of the day, love is about getting each other. So, whether you’re sending memes or stealing their hoodie, just make sure your love language speaks their dialect.
