New slang is annoying

[Black Paladin]

This. What makes it cringeworthy to me is that it’s been adopted by suburban white kids and social media celebrities lol.

10 to 20 years ago when white people were appropriating black urban culture (I can’t believe I just said that) we as a society viewed it as cringe: Marky Mark, Kevin Federline, Vanilla Ice.
But now it’s become common place and isn’t met with criticism from anyone other than fringe activists

This has been going on since the mid-1800s. (minstrelsy, etc.)

I wrote about this several times over the years. Here is a shorter version.

Since the early 1900s, USA slang came from black musicians and criminals (jazz, etc. and later hip hop, pimps, drug dealers, etc.) and itinerant white people (pro gamblers, carnies, circus folk, hoboes, criminals, military). Except for some occupational jargon, a vast majority of slang is from those sources. So, to say it's a NEW thing for whites to glom onto Black slang is totally inaccurate. It was new maybe when your great-great-grandmother was doing the Charleston and drinking out of a flask.

It is somewhat hypocritical for your grandmother and father to use slang from the 30s, 40s, and 50s ("cool" and the like), yet castigate their younger relatives for using new slang. An intrinsic part of slang is that it is constantly morphing.

So, unless you use NO SLANG WHATSOVER, what the FUCK are you doing arguing about what slang a person uses?

Nicely walked back. I think we all deep down realize it’s just as fair to criticize as to not; it’s just no one likes being called out, even by their own standards.
