    I guess I’m too old for this. Or is this funny?

      My 9 and 11-yo’s are home for Christmas. I got another week of listening to this.

      Probably to the “oh my god new slang so cringe this youth” crowd. You know, those who always said they’ll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁

        i still do not see good evidence for this being actual slang people use seriously, it just looks like old video game ads where adults write scripts with what they think kids sound like, and then we look back and laugh at how stupid it is

          That’s because it’s exaggerated, and the kids play into it rather than cringing and moving on like you might have when you were a kid and adults tried using your slang. The reason is that unlike previous generations, gen Z has incorporated it into youth culture as a result of the current state of the internet and has a name to call it by: brainrot.
