I'm a millennial mother, these are the new Gen Alpha trends that are in - and the things my middle school daughter finds 'cringe'

Throwing up a peace sign, wearing skinny leggings and saying 'slay' are all on their way out according to millennial mothers, who are forced to keep up with all that's trendy thanks to their Gen Alpha children.

Amongst the baffled mothers sharing their newfound knowledge on social media is 35-year-old Faith Hitchon from Los Angeles, California.

She began a series on TikTok where she revealed all of the trends she's spotted while picking her young teenage daughter, India, up from school, including hoodies and Hello Kitty pimple patches.

Now, she's back with her newest 'trend report live update, reporting from the trenches of raising Gen A' - and it's bad news for high buns and bows.

Posting under her handle @faithhitch, the mother told viewers: 'My daughter had some notes and retractions from my previous videos, so here they are.

'An actual blow to the millennial girl personality, she wants me to let you know that while having a high bun with a claw clip and some framing pieces is culturally acceptable to Gen A, making it your entire personality is cringe.

'I was also asked to relay that not only are skinny jeans completely, completely out, but if you have a baggy repertoire of pants you are building, you should be sure to include Pro Club baggy pants.'

The baggy sweatpants became an instant hit with Gen Alpha after gaining popularity on TikTok.

She continues: 'Star Face pimple patches continue to be a form of currency, but there is a hierarchy to that currency - think Pokemon trading cards.

'Hello Kitty is having a major moment and so Hello Kitty Star Face is at the top of the trading pile, and then it depends on colour ways and what's having a moment.

'I'm not recommending that you stock pile them like beanie babies but then I'm also not reccomending not to do that.'

Shockingly, she reveals that 'coquette' and 'bow culture' is 'on it's way out,' just months after becoming a trend. 

The hashtag #coquette has racked up 18 billion views on TikTok, after fashion fans across the world began sporting hair bows, dainty dresses and lots of pink.

While the official definition of coquette is simply 'a flirtatious woman,' the trend is more about adding little romantic details and splashes of femininity into your outfits - and of course, putting bows on everything. 

'What is taking it's place is the edgy Brandy Melville girl,' she explains.

Adding: 'I had the wrong assumption that Brandy Melville would be the new version of preppy, but actually Brandy Melville is now seen as edgy and the culture is moving away from coquette into emo, edgy, Brandy girl.

'Silver jewellery continues to be more popular than gold, as is having a few piercings in your ear. However, having a full ear scape is deeply millennial and a little bit Gen-Z.

Fellow millennials rushed to the comments to share their confusion, with one writing: 'Please expand on the pro club pants'

The baggy Pro Club sweatpants became an instant hit with Gen Alpha after gaining popularity on TikTok 

'She feels like having a nose piercing and a few ear piercings is much, much cooler - and whatever you do, please do not tell a Gen A person that you've had your belly button pierced, because it will not go well for you.'

Fellow millennials rushed to the comments to share their confusion, with one writing: 'Please expand on the Pro Club pants'.

A second added: 'Googles Brandy Melville. Realizes I am SO OLD bc the kids and I have different definitions of edgy'.

A third joked: 'Pro Club baggy pants?! What is that. These updates humble me so hard'.

Others added: 'I am Gen X and just can’t stop being shocked by these acne patches! They’re just like so much' and 'Wait I thought the coquette trend just started I have whiplash'.

Meanwhile, another American millennial mother also took to TikTok with her Gen Alpha daughter, to reveal some of their generational differences.

The video they posted under their handle @thepeasefamily, has been seen by more than 3.6 million people.

The first question the mother and daughter duo answered was 'how would you make a heart?'

Unsurprisingly, the millennial goes for a heart made with their hands, meanwhile her daughter uses just two fingers.

The question 'how would you answer your phone?' also took a similar direction, as did 'how would you roll up a car window?'

Under this video, one user penned: 'I'm Gen Z, all my answers are millennial'.

Another wrote: 'I’m a millennial and my daughter is a gen alpha and she puts 'help' before a sentence and I be like why are you saying help?'

Meanwhile a third questioned: 'I'm Gen Z and what is that heart in Gen Alpha?'

Someone else admitted: 'I'm Gen Z, none of my answers match either of them'.

It comes just after the news that a gigantic wealth transfer over the next two decades will make millennials 'the richest generation in history', a new report has revealed. 

Millennials in America alone will inherit a huge $90 trillion from property, shares and other assets over the next 20 years, according to the annual wealth report from real estate consultancy Knight Frank.

Baby boomers - those born between 1946 and 1964 - and the so-called silent generation - Americans born between 1928 and 1946 - will 'hand over the reins' to millennials born between 1980 and 1996, it said.
