Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.
I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.
"cool" though, "cool" never dies
Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.
It's nice to have slang for a word, but i do hate when people misuse it and then the word devolved. For example, gaslight.
Gaslighting is when you hold a match to your butthole and fart.
Rizz is a shortened word for 'charisma' and specifically for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication.
knowledge rizz
That's so rizz
It's just an abbreviation of charisma.
Woah.
regresses 10 years in age
thanks, youngblood.
And for that reason I'm out
Rizz was the final straw for me. I no longer have any interest in attempting to understand today's youth.
They just need to shut up and get off my lawn.
The first time I yelled at young people to get off the grass was oddly freeing.
I now fully embrace the grump.

Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.
New style learned : young talk.
Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.
Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.
Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you're a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.
You should try it if you haven't already.
Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn't achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .

I used to be with "it," then they went and changed what was "it." Now what used to be "it" is lame, and what is "it" is new and scary. And it will happen to you too!!!!
Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.
Rizzer please!

I knew it was my time to join the old group when "slaps" became popular.
Is "slaps" still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.
I see it online all the time.
Idk, in my mind it still slaps
I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don't really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism... they're just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?
Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.

It's short for charisma and you use it if you have none.
Rizz at least makes some sense as a shortened version of charisma.
Or you become the word...

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Except they didn't make it up, like most previous generations, genz has stolen from black American vernacular.
That's how slang develops. It starts in ingroup vernacular and propagates out either fizzling out or sticking around as an actual word. AAVE is one of several sources. LGBTQ, sports, and video game lingo tend to be other popular sources.
Ya, it comes from all over. Culture is a shared experience that brings people together and should not be treated as antagonistic, regardless of origin.

EDIT: It feels like some people aren't getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.
