I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.
This is always upsetting.
Same for rewatching iasip. I think they're late 20s when it started.

Are millennials the new boomers now? Or is this meme about older generations making fun of millennials? I can't follow anymore.

If I’m forced to say it to fit in, it’s your fault.
Not to sound like a boommer but I really dislike "finna" like how much do you need to shorten a term like finally gonna
It's dialectic -- there's lot's of them in the US, but this one afk belongs to Black American English, and is shortened from "fixin' to." Personally, I think it's cool to see so many variations of English. The language is definitely not static; it is changing all the time!

I was particularly surprised at how quickly millennial sayings aged.

###I mean, ngl, sus fr fr, no cap
These arent meant to be spoken out loud anyway.
Can someone also explain 'go brrr', cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can't be right...
It's from a meme, "Money printer go brrrr" ~~which was I think a spin off of the "It prints money!" meme for the original Wii~~ (Edit: did some research and I think they're unrelated.) Its the sound of the machine, printing money, it go brrr.
I've seen it used for all kinds of things, but "go brrr" is basically a dismissive way of talking about how "winning" something is.
Edit: I think Picard Manuever explains it better actually, and while I don't think my usage note is untrue from how I've seen the meme used in evolutions, I'd have to agree that it originally and usually takes the form they described.
It's just the sound of some machine running, but the meme is usually something along the lines of:
"You can't do X, you have to do Y!"
"X goes brrrr"
The humor is in stubbornly doing something in a dumb way.
