About
YNs, commonly written yns or Them YNs, is an AAVE slang term that's an abbreviation for "young niggas." YNs was commonly used on TikTok in 2024 as it was used in memes and video skits from Black creators to joke about younger generations of Black men like Zoomers and Gen Alpha. Many of the men venting about YNs joked about how the younger generations were different, meaner and crazier, similar to the term Crashout. A YN often contrasts an Unc in these memes and viral videos. The meaning of YNs trended on Urban Dictionary and other social media sites like Twitter / X in mid-2024 amid its TikTok virality. Its usage also sparked discourse about the appropriation of YNs by white and other non-Black internet users.
