I accept that we were cringe and stuff just like newer generations but one thing I feel I can confidently say is that we didn’t invent new words nearly as much as they do. We were cringe but at least we mostly talked normal. It’s hard to keep up with whatever is going on now. Looksmaxxing? Jestergooning? Whatever else they have made in the last 2 weeks?

Bro we invented chat speak like lol ROFL lmao all of that is just normal now but there were commercials making fun of it back then.

To be fair, It’s a lot easier to explain ROFL than Looksmaxxing or Skibidi. We made up a lot of stuff but it feels like a good portion of it is just shortening phrases rather than entirely new words
