    It’s okay, I hate your take :)

    Yes we all know language evolves, nobody is saying the kids can’t use new slang and words. That’s simply a part of the human experience regardless of age.

    The dislike of this kind of talk is more than just “what was cool is now not and the kids have the new cool and I hate it because it’s not my cool”.

    I know it makes an easy strawman for you to slap down but there is valid criticism and some of these terms are already dated as fuck, further reducing the cultural and linguistic impact which is your whole thing apparently.

    The comment you replied to isn’t simply talking about new words and slang, it’s about the fucked grammar, the fr frs, etc. The kids aren’t speaking gospel, why raise them up on a pedestal as the drivers of linguistic evolution?

    Is “Skibidi what the sigma Ohio” some deep wisdom to you? Maybe rizzler gyat fanum tax rings true in your soul?

    That shit makes Jive look like goddamn Shakespeare
