    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.

        So is EVERY generation.

        Edit: apparently some people refuse to accept the concept of linear time. Seems a bit quixotic to me, but okay.

        Try living in the shadow of boomers with no support. We were helpless (okokok; also apathetic). I for one am glad to have the backup of the following generations. Even if each successive generation is more inscrutable to me than the previous.

        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.
