Nah, you're not wrong. Sure, there was some more obscure stuff, but I'd say most could be figured out by context or from a traceable evolution from previous generations' slang. The difference now is video-based social media has slang spreading and evolving at lightspeed. It's impossible to keep up unless you're immersed in that bubble either directly or by proxy of peers.

For a recent example, watching how quickly “crashout” spread among the YouTube creators I normally watch was really incredible. I have no idea where it started but now it’s everywhere.
