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

People deeply unhappy about change of any kind, unite! 🤭

It’s not about change at all, my vocab has a lot of newer phrasing and words but that doesn’t mean we should accept everything simply because it’s new.

But by all means, go ahead and project your emotional reaction onto my statement

That’s not what I’m saying at all but I understand it makes you feel better so it’s okay.
