"Yo" is another one that the Zoomers love. I haven't heard so much usage of that word since the mid 90s. And "bruh" is just another form of "bro"/"brah".

Another good example is when twerking made a comeback a few years ago, despite not being a thing since 2000s hip hip.

there was a book (Terry Pratchett?) I read as a young adult that had a character called Yoless because it was the 90s and he didn't ever say "yo" and everyone thought that was notable, weird and hysterical

Or the Harlem Shake, like that wasn't already a thing.

Breh was around in like 2010, bruh really isn't that much different.
