You do know that you sound exactly like your parents, right? And their parents said the same too. Every friggin next generation does this, this is not news, man.

Look you guys are valid. Every generation has pioneered slang that sticks. I get it. The problem in my estimation is that we are seeing kids come of age who were born, raised, and will die in a comment section or discord room. I have a sister in middle school in the house with me right now. The generations coming up have no clue how to behave offline. The ideas of real inflexible consequences and speaking seriously so you will be taken seriously are just completely nonexistent on their radar.

Again, a lot of your descriptions sound like kids being kids. Let them. It's their generation, they have to figure things out just like we did

On the "can't be offline anymore" I'd agree, but that is a different problem altogether
