It's all predominantly young kids adopting/appropriating American Black vernacular and calling it their own. Millennials did it, genz does it. Go ahead and down vote me, my back hurts.

See people say this like it's Black vernacular but dont recognize that it's just urban vernacular. Urban vernacular changes frequently because there's more people around. The internet adopts it quickly, and it spreads from there, as the actual initial definition of a memetic concept.

There's a reason society as a whole doesn't co-opt rural Black vernacular, and it's because it isn't actually racially-based.

There's MLE (multicultural London English) in the UK. Must be similar all over.
