Come the fuck on people, didn't you make the same promise to yourself that I did to be better to the generation that follows you than the previous generation was to yours?
This shit is so fucking stupid. Do better and don't become a fucking boomer
maybe i'm missing context here but i fail to see how this is critiquing the new generation? it's just showing a person overwhelmed by (perceived) new slang, there's no judgment cast here
Subtext. It's the suggestion that these terms are so incomprehensible as to be overwhelming in the first place. The subtext is that the younger generation is exhausting, specifically in their nonsense or otherness. There's assuming good faith and then there is intentionally ignoring the forest for the trees, and I think your suggestion is more for the latter than the former, frankly.
