520 ## $aThis research investigates the use of slang within Generation Z (Gen Z) on two specific social networking platforms: Facebook and tikTok. This study paid attention to the differences of slang usage between Vietnamese and English, thereby identifying the social values and cultural identities in Gen Z. By employing qualitative analysis, the research finds three recurring themes: (1) social interaction and identity, where slang conveys attitudes towards social roles and group belonging; (2) emotions and reactions, where slang expresses frustration and humor through exaggeration or irony; and (3) cultural references and trends, where slang shows viral memes and identity expression. In this paper, it is discovered that there are similarities and differences among the use of slang in both languages. More so, Gen Z’s identities and experiences are shaped somehow differently, in which English shows more explicitness and individualism, reflecting a low-context orientation while Vietnamese shows more implicitness and collectivism, reflecting a high-context orientation. The study concludes that slang has served as a linguistic tool to express cultural identities and social interactions, resulted from Gen Z’s own culture.
