Lol, honestly yesterday I was watching some food reviews and they were saying words like bussin. Dude is atleast 40, I just thought huh.. atleast I finally get what it means through context.

Didn't bother me though.

Arbitrarily, mid is fine but bussin, rizz and cap are unacceptable

I unironically like "mid". Too many people go to one extreme or another to make their opinion seem more notable but in really the vast majority of things are just kind of mid.

I don't think it's strange. It probably weirds kids out when their parents use it without really knowing how to say it properly. But if you got it, you got it.

I'd rather say fire over bussin, but I'll use mid and drip no problem

Isn't that always the point where you accept that your slang is no longer 'cool'?

Or do you wait until it starts turning up in commercials or, worst of all, political speeches?

Zoomer slang is dead. Long live Gen Alpha slang!

It's just gotta sound natural. Also if you spend a lot of time online you get exposed to a lot of it, and some of it works into your vocab like anything else.

Also also a lot of gen z slang is just older slang that some people never heard of. We had a topic on here a while ago and I was like bro that word has been around forever.

"Syke" has been around at least since I was a kid in the 80s, because we said that shit in middle school all the time.

Zoomer slang comes off like they're desperately and incorrectly trying to appropriate AAVE while also desperately trying to tweak it just enough to not come across like they're the main character in Malibu's Most Wanted

This. "Cringe" in its current definition has been around for over a decade, but it's considered zoomer slang.

Not so much strange, just takes me back a bit. I remember asking my aunt what her favorite band/singer was. Keep in mind she's in her 60s. She looked me dead in the eye and said Marilyn Manson.

"Cringe" started off describing people with no self-awareness embarrassing themselves in public situations and these days it just means "not funny" or "not cool".

My fellow e-boys and e-girls, I'm proud to see the economy's glow up since I've been elected! The job reports and annual median income just slap, and our international besties have been spilling the tea on our opp nations.

But my daily vibe check briefings have hit differently since the start of this fiscal year. I don't feel like we're slaying quite like we could be. I know the country has been in a bit of a situationship with Big Business for a long time now, but we're planning to yeet those NPCs out the door this term! Big Oil's profits looking sus af, and Big Pharma's price gouging is looking mid as well. They're about to catch these hands, and then we'll make sure they touch grass. No cap.

My administration stans the working class, and we want to simp for you fr fr. Unions are the backbone of a solid labor force and the GOAT. I'm ready to clapback at all these anti-union drives that some companies have been orchestrating lately. Companies don't understand the rizz that workers have when they collectivize, but those companies are starting to look shook.

Thank you, fam. And don't @ me.
