Sus is literally part of the Australian vernacular and was in use when I was a kid.

Thank you! I thought I was going mad because I distinctly remember saying "sus" when I was in highschool in the early 2000s. It was definitely used both as "go sus it out" but also "don't sus us miss" was something we said all the time when a teacher tried to catch students smoking behind the portables.

So it sort of just feels like Gen Z expanded the definition.
