MODERATORS
Millennial here agreeing with you. Its slang, who cares? And if you do care, why the hell are you blaming the slang users instead of the forces causing it?
Slang has always been a result of kids evolving language to meet the needs of their generation, which usually involves trying to subvert normie-speak in one way or another. Make it hard for them to use certain language, and they improvise, adapt, and overcome. I find it really hard to draw a clean line between things like 50s hipster slang, leet-speak from the 90s, and whatever is going on now.
