Gen X guy here. This is literally the first time I have come across the word “skibidi”. I simultaneously wish I could help you, and glad I don’t know what that asinine word means.
Most of us have sold our souls to corporate overlords to put scraps on the table and keep leaking rooves above our heads. We’re not the ruling class but we’re the drones who aren’t allowed to be fun anymore.
That, and to the youth of today, we’re now supposed to be the old people who don’t get them, like how our parents had no clue what was up with the Pokemans.
I used to teach in public schools in the area, but even outside of that environment I know enough about what the students are into and how they talk, because yeah, I spend a lot of time online and play video games and live and breathe memes. But you can never let kids think you’re trying to be hip by letting them know you like the same things they like, because in most cases that just ruins it for them. They obviously want their own circles, and we are by necessity outside of it.

Every generation has slang.
Yup. They have every right to call the slang I grew up with asinine, too. In fact, it would be weird if they didn’t.
It kind of amazes me that a few words, like “cool”, have stood the test of time. They’re outliers, though.

Gen X really are just boomers in waiting.
So is EVERY generation.
Edit: apparently some people refuse to accept the concept of linear time. Seems a bit quixotic to me, but okay.
Millennials are in the “Oh fuck I’m ‘the Man’ now” phase.
Are we? Still too poor to own stuff because generations before us are hoarding riches like they could take them to the grave.
Yeah it’s like “Oh fuck I should be The Man by now what the fuck is going on?”
