I always stare unblinkingly when some idiot says to me "deadass, I went to ten CFB games last season" or some shit. I can roll with some other zoomer shit ("vibes", etc), but not this one

I'm in my 50s, and I use "deadass". I only use it in statements that are otherwise unremarkable and would not invite doubt, though. For example, if someone asks what I did over the holidays, I might say that deadass I took the family to my parents' house.

it doesn't really bother me. zoomer slang is less annoying than late millennial stuff (that seemed to be) all lifted from drug dealing/inner city lingo, although it (mid zoomer stuff) does represent the polyglot trade pidgin that american english has been headed towards for some long time

fwiw i enjoyed the early millennial focus on diction and verbiage; made you appreciate the language it came from more and felt less like a linguistic flight of escape from it

serious inquiry or are you being snarky luis

think back to the height of Wes Anderson's stuff. bespoke travel stickers on luis Vuitton luggage was back in, pop culture was riddled with renaissance faire runoff/the fae/poetry was having its moment again in academia and the public. sometimes there was a victorian revival type feel similar to what inspired the New Romantics music scene in the mid 80s. 60s british invasion culture was popular; mod aesthetics and sounds came around very often in indie rock. millennial music in general was often very verbose and full of poetic verbiage

people of that generation of some education spoke very well on the east coast and there were strong and clear class divides in most media that were slowly eroded by the Capital Records (catch-all term) push to have street culture proliferate everywhere

it's a major, major loss ime

i liked this stuff a lot because it had this hybrid digital/historical-textual basis backing it and you could get the best of both worlds. for one example, and he followed Orson Welles example on this: Wes anderson's whole thing was like "watch, we can just heal the rich (using art. and also make lots of money in the process)" and media catering to this class and those familiar with it helped allow for the breathing room that the left got and squandered in the following years

there's a lot of reasons for the change to the primarily pure spectacular digital Zoomer cultural soup but too many to get into in full in a single poast

Zoomers are so non-white that they don’t matter imo. They always “seem” URM/ORM online. The broccoli haircut is an attempt to mimic negro hair texture.
