Blame Zoomers for this. They don't understand AAVE and associated terms and because they have no frame of reference for human interaction outside of social media, they take a lot of their slang from Black culture and to a lesser extent, queer culture.

They have an acute awareness of things like cultural appropriation yet are oblivious to the fact that they base their slang off AAVE.

Feel like youre late to the party here. Youre an old man yelling at last weeks clouds. You should be mad about, I dunno. Rizz.

Either way, get over it. Your great grandparents would probably think you sound like an idiot because you didnt use proper punctuation.

"Clapback" has been around for like a decade, and "throwing shade" for almost as long.

There's has been a somewhat noticeable consolidation of slang. There was definitely a period of conversations with "no wey/ no yeah, fer shure, totally, as if, duh, chill, get real, wannabe, smooth move, talk to the hand, don't go there" and at the same time there was a separate culture of AAVE slang. Now it's almost all some kind of AAVE slang "thot, trap queen, lowkey, fam, bet, drip, slaps, bet, on god, no cap, bussin, mid, pop off, run in back".

I'm not saying anything is better than the other, it's was just kind of weird seeing white 20-something twitch streamers being like "Low key kinda bussing, on god no cap. Sheeeeesh". I watch Offlinetv and they were doing it for like a year or so before Valkyrae got in trouble for saying "No cap on a stack frfr". I know they're Asian and not white, but like half of them were in their early to mid twenties and just copying twitter and Tiktok slang.
