It's weird seeing English become unreadable from the other side. It's like going back to ye olde Englishe but forward in time.

The Simpsons "it will happen to youuuuu" gag still holds true. You'll never be cool forever. What's cool will change.

Its definitely fellow kids material but its not far off as of a few years ago. I'd say that hit the mark hard enough that its actually funny

Thought about this a little bit, and I think my conclusions is that the thing that kills when boomers try to relate to and write the youths of today isn't necessarily that they get the slang wrong, which, I'm sure is the case as well a lot of the time, but it's mostly that they dial up the intensity to 11, so it ends up sounding like a parody, rather than a legitimate attempt. That's probably not the point about 95% of the time, because the olds would rather portray like, their kids, basically, as moronic incomprehensible idiots, instead of making a minor attempt to understand them and how they communicate and the world they're raise in, but I guess that's just kinda what lead poisoning does.

I dunno, I find it kind of funny, because the youths will be milling about, minding their own business, but then you post like "uhhh skibidi toilet rizzler gyat that monocolored sweater is so preppy" and then all their boomers laugh their ass off, lose their minds, and are like "this is SO true I'm SO old hoo lee". The zoomers aren't the ones laughing at the garbled nonsense speak, bro. If that's not an indication that the elderly are completely cooked, I dunno what is.

What if it was a joke the whole time and it isn't worth diving into the weeds about it.
