The GenZs in India went viral as they showcased their love for memes and their social media language during the recent student protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in New Delhi. The protest is over but the GenZ impact has taken over the Parliament during the ongoing Monsoon Session with several Member of Parliaments (MPs) using the Gen Z terms during crucial debate on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. From 'FOMO' to ‘wastaguna huniya’, MPs attempted to make their speeches more attractive for the Gen Zs.
