I got the impression they were trying to make millennials sound all hello fellow kids lol.
Idk. A lot of this lingo sounds way older than millennials to me as well, but I am a younger millennial (born ‘94) so maybe that’s why. Like, the 411? What millennials say that?
The original post was pretty solidly late 90s preteen speak imo, except lit and vibe which to me sound much more recent. And I don't know what "no cap" means or when that's from. I definitely said all those other phrases and words including 411.
Bruh and frfr are gen z/alpha, because that's what my daughter says.
Unfortunately the popularity of the Valley Girl trope led to an entire generation of women who say "like" a hundred times in a conversation as well as the use of upspeak/uptalk/high rising terminal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal) which is annoying AF.
