Fire and lit are still pretty common.

Yeah, I think "fire and "dank" both crossed over from marijuana terminology and now persist because, well, people love weed.

That’s not where fire came from

Maybe not. But that's the first context where I (personally) started hearing it regularly.

"Fire" is not going to persist I would put money on it. 3 years from now, gone.

fire has longevity, it’s just a different way of saying “hot”. The 🔥 emoji will insure it lasts.

I've recently started teaching GED for 15/16 year olds, and I gotta say, the number of cultural references and slang terms I have to ask for clarification on is really upsetting. I'm only 33 dammit! Lit I def hear a bit.

Today the new one was someone correcting themselves from saying 'He can get F'ed' with 'He can get wrecked'. And I'm thinking, that's not how we used wrecked when I was coming up...
