Wake me up when dope and rad re-enter the lexicon.
Far out!
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I am, much to my wife's dismay.
I've been here the whole time.
I also really like rad.
k lol
When I was in 6th grade I was fucking cringe, little fucks these days acting like they ain't.
When I was in 6th grade all the cool kids had band names in White-Out on their backpacks. I'd only ever listened to my parents' music so I was clueless. One day I went home and put all the bands on my backpack I could remember. First thing the next day, I'm pressed to name a single Korn song and I failed.
6th grade was hell.
Ya, they cringe AF
Slay and serve are part of the drag/queer community lexicon that were made popular (iirc) in the NY ballroom scene. No one cares when 6th graders use them or if they stop.
If you watch queer media or hang out with The Gays, you’ll hear them all the time. They’re a bit campy, but not cringe.
drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene
Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”
Thanks :)
This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There's an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.
But the most important part of the best meme ever is ROFL

Edit: was easier to find than I had anticipated.

Slay and Serve are very much alive in drag communities.
They've been around before and will stay around after. Pop culture was just borrowing it.
Damn, my grade 7 class is cringe af. Kid keeps naming himself "skibidisigma" every time we play Blooket.
Oh good. Always thought rizz was stupid because it sounds too close to jizz.
I read LMAO is reversed if something is extremely funny and I was confused af for a minute
I'm sorry, I'm on the fence. I'm all onboard calling "rizz" and "skibidi" cringe, but I'm never going to stop slaying or serving.
Hell yeah, I'll be cool again when that gen grows up
Ok but now I want to know what their new words are.
