The less you try to understand it the more it makes sense. (Also 23)
Stupid slang is stupid but it has existed forever (70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers). I say loosen up and enjoy the stupid words. I remember in highschool common slang words were...jit (younger person), fam(friends), on-god(honestly/swear to god), shook (startled, surprised), thirsty(desperate), extra(too much). All of these words were stupid and I resisted using them, but now I just kinda vibe with the people in my life and the stupid slang slowly seeps in.
Granted I've low-key adopted a lot of random shit from different generations just because I enjoy the word more than the original one. Idk life is short, so why waste time trying to understand things that are just going to change in a year, when you can just be in the moment and focus on what's important?
I think it's funny that you used slang that has just been adopted into common language in your post, like low key and vibe.
Slang is normal, and language evolves over time, new words and phrases being created is fine and some of them stick and others don't.
Whenever I think of slang I just imagine that scene from the office, "why use lot word when fewer do trick?" Slang is basically that statement being applied into an actual functional modification to language.
So fuck it fam, live it up. Vibe with the times or whatever. Just don't overdo it lest you sound a little silly (but that's the worst that comes from slang...you just sound a little silly)
fwiw "jeepers creepers" is from the 1930s.
Oh huh, til. Ngl I assumed it was 70's due to Scooby Doo :p
