Thought about this a little bit, and I think my conclusions is that the thing that kills when boomers try to relate to and write the youths of today isn’t necessarily that they get the slang wrong, which, I’m sure is the case as well a lot of the time, but it’s mostly that they dial up the intensity to 11, so it ends up sounding like a parody, rather than a legitimate attempt. That’s probably not the point about 95% of the time, because the olds would rather portray like, their kids, basically, as moronic incomprehensible idiots, instead of making a minor attempt to understand them and how they communicate and the world they’re raise in, but I guess that’s just kinda what lead poisoning does.
I dunno, I find it kind of funny, because the youths will be milling about, minding their own business, but then you post like “uhhh skibidi toilet rizzler gyat that monocolored sweater is so preppy” and then all their boomers laugh their ass off, lose their minds, and are like “this is SO true I’m SO old hoo lee”. The zoomers aren’t the ones laughing at the garbled nonsense speak, bro. If that’s not an indication that the elderly are completely cooked, I dunno what is.
I took this text and made ChatGPT translate it to 2008 teenager lingo:
Yo, what’s good? If you peep anything sketchy or straight-up wack, like a jacked-up toilet or whatever, hit me up at -number- ASAP. For real though, we’re low-key hustlin’ to make this campground poppin’. We ain’t stoppin’ till this spot’s lit AF and everyone’s vibin’ with it. We’re counting on you, fam. Much love, thanks!
I tell you the rapper‘s tongue that was lit AF back when Pimp my Ride was the shit is gonna be old lad‘s lingo sooner than…. The PS5 lost its stance to the PS6
I can only hope the youths of today don’t have to suffer through this viscerally unpleasant condescension by having it rapped at them. Let that be my generation’s special hell.
