155 0 ReplyA_Union_of_Kobolds @lemmy.world 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.

SatanicNotMessianic @lemmy.ml 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.

23 0 ReplyOokami38 @sh.itjust.works 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.

81 0 Replygbuttersnaps @programming.dev I was playing pokemon with my 7 year old nephew and he kept saying "{x pokemon} has sick moves bro", so maybe that time has already come. Although to be fair he also said "These noodles are on god" and then leaned over and whispered "that means really good." So maybe he's not exactly the best arbiter of gen alpha vernacular lol
11 0 ReplyBuddahriffic @lemmy.world At that age, kids are absorbing stuff from their parents still because they haven't yet realized that their parents aren't cool.
I wonder if that's what keeps the whole thing at least somewhat coherent. While a generation of teenagers figures out how they will talk, the younger generation absorbs words and phrases from both their immediate seniors as well as their parents' generation, resulting in a base that's still close to where their parents are. Maybe without that, we'd have entire new languages every few generations.
Hmm that might even be the mechanism that causes fashion trends to repeat on a 20-30 year cycle.

IIRC, the stated backstory is that the land of Ooo is what remains after the Great Mushroom War. We see glimpses of the world immediately following the war, and it looks like a Fallout situation, with packs of survivors, radiation exposure, etc… And eventually, it settled into the Land of Ooo.
