K Pop and uhhh slang. Almost all of it. I might use it in front of my husband or other millennials because we all sound equally as old and clueless but I would never use current slang in front of anyone younger. Even if I know I'm using it correctly.

Because what if they make fun of me? :(

yeah, rip.
youth counterculture has always forged its own intentionally inscrutable fashion and slang. if it made sense to the establishment it would cease to have value as an exclusive shibboleth, which is why it continually evolves weirder and weirder as capital co-opts and commodifies whatever gets mainstream enough to sell. most of the truly stupid poo poo i dont understand is hardly exclusive to the kids. i am generally baffled and disturbed by the absolute state of 2024

Accurate. The older I get the less I understand what the hell went wrong for some old people to be the way they are lol. At least I understand that there will always be new slang and styles and games, but I don't understand being a crotchety rear end in a top hat.

It makes more sense when you realize that for all of human history until about the 60's it was standard practice to beat your children.

its still legal in Liberal Bastion of Human Rights in America Massachusetts to administer corporal punishment to children as long as "they give u a reason"

cases as recent as 10 years ago were tried and basically used colonial law as precedent. ive contacted every applicable state politician to my district on this to no avail

This is the answer really.

The whole reason young people have slang and get into new weird nonsense things is to have their own stuff and exclude the olds that dominate every other part of their life. Even if you did work your rear end off to figure out what they're currently doing, they're just gonna double down and get even weirder to keep you excluded. Let them have their skip toilets or whatever. You were just as stupid at that age too.
