    Some of that isn’t limited to gen Z. I’ve had older coworkers make buzzer noises for correct/wrong (like those on a gameshow)

    Assuming the Scooby doo one is stuff like “ruh roh”, that specific trend might be recent, but people have been doing silly voices for a while

    Although a lot of it could be tiktok trends (or vines for the millenials)

      About 6 years ago we were sitting on the beach and a larger wave came in out of nowhere that went say 20-25 feet further up the beach to where we were sitting, I grabbed her and my phone and said ruh-roh as she realized and stood up, didn’t have time to grab the small Bluetooth speaker we had and it got soaked and I grabbed it a few seconds after as the wave retreated. It isn’t a term I say often, but I think it was something I did back in my early twenties when there was the possibility of kids being around. Instead of yelling “oh shit” my 37 year old brain decides to sound like a cartoon dog.
