    That’s some ‘get off my lawn’ energy lol.

    Every generation has its slang, and there’s always people on the older gens that are like ‘speak ENGLISH you ruffians!’

        really only have to be over 25 to feel this effect. but it gets stronger the older you get.

        that said, i do think it’s funny how often we look to the kids to decide what’s ‘cool’ or ‘popular’. the closer i get to 40 the less i benchmark what’s cool against younger people. but i also choose not to judge younger people and their slang because, if we are willing to actually be self-reflective, we all sounded like idiots as kids with our slang. just becaues we have nostalgia about it doesn’t mean ‘hella’ isn’t stupid af.
