What is Gen Alpha Slang?

I’ve recently started hearing the term gen alpha slang a lot, especially on social media and in conversations involving younger kids. I’m curious about what kind of words or phrases fall under Gen Alpha slang and how they’re different from Gen Z slang. Are these terms mostly influenced by gaming, YouTube, or TikTok? Also, do the meanings change quickly like other internet slang? Some examples and context would really help me understand it better.
