one sure answer to every youth fad: because gently caress old people, that’s why
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.

I want to look good but don't care about the time, so I wear a Timex digital watch that is just flashing 12:00

I actually quite like these Zoomers, they never talk on the phone or watch television, and I deeply respect those choices. TV and phone calls are gross mind-numbing 20th-Century trash.
That's because they grew up on Social Media, which is the 21st-Century fentanyl of electronic vices. It's no wonder your paltry 20th-Century trash can't make them feel anything anymore.

again with the making people wait for you strawman.
You can allow yourself in your daily routine to be liberated from the concept of timeliness without "imposing" anything on anybody else.
What are these "meetings" of which you speak? From past experience in the horologically enslaved world under Corpo I know that there are types of work setups that only function with synchronized facetime and meetings all the time. So I don't institute such work setups in my small but successful organization.
Everybody you interact with can in principle just share their thoughts asynchronously via emails or in a slack channel or whatever. Raise issues through there. Only if exceptions arise of immense importance threatening to bring down the show do you need to ever hit the call button which is an imposition, a demand for your attention, disrupting whatever you're presently doing. The assumption is that it must be pretty urgent and it's the yellow button next to the nuclear option.
But even for those rare situations our rule is to only let the call chime ring for a few seconds. Enough so that if you're within earshot you know someone wants a realtime conversation and the assumption is that it must be pretty urgent. So I respond to that within a few minutes usually. Take a piss first or get a coffee from the machine and check my appearance before I sit down ready to be on voice and/or camera. The other party wants my attention, and now I'm comfortable and focused and ready to have that conversation. Go.
I suspect that most work-from-home orgs could adopt these principles if they wanted to. Obviously not applicable for a worksite with lots of realtime orchestration and micro-coordination. And that's not the kind of work that I do or care to be involved with.
But to answer the question you keep bringing up, of course I show up on time if we have agreed on a meeting. My phone has a google calendar chime thing. I do know what a schedule is and if I have to take like a flight or something of course I can't expect them to wait for me. But this happens so rarely, like a few times a month, so that I can mentally switch, temporarily, from our civilized and gentle "island time" to the barbary which is the "city time" world of the horologically enslaved, emissaries from which we mustn't disappoint by letting them waste precious expensive seconds of their so-efficiently packed schedules.
loving lol.
You are really gonna type this self masturbatory nonsense out and still expect anyone to believe you function as a self employed person? With clients that you actually interact with and that pay you? Or is gonna paid for your services a fetish too? Is that just something for the corpos?

I am going to die mad about the fact that "Some piece of poo poo on the internet said a thing" is newsworthy now, and is slowly taking over all of journalism.
