    I think eventually, people will forget what “lol” originally meant and it will be a word to express mild amusement

    “Cool” is eternally cool.

    67 might still get ironic reactions like millennials do for 69.

    This is easy. All you have to do is hang out with black people. What they’re saying now is what white people will adopt in 10 years. Black people will be forced to adopt new slang, and the cycle continues.

    Black people are not biological poets. It’s just that they live in the position to easily see mainstream culture for what it really is because it’s not for them. They also understand white culture through media immersion.

    Black people have an advantage over culture and language because they must be bilingual to get by.

      Sounds neat, but this is an utterly trash take.

      You can attribute certain phrases sure, like cap/no cap being from African American centric culture, but were black groups saying 6-7 or skibbidi toilet 15 years ago?

      Hell, the slang, “shipping” came from a nerd website about X-Files.

      There are no more groups that culturally evolve in a vacuum.

      And then you low key disparage black culture by saying mainstream culture is not for them? And that they drive it because they are not in it!? I’m starting to think you don’t actually even understand what culture is.

      This is such a juvenile and shallow understanding.

        there’s a comedian who did a recent bit about how white slang used to be cool: instead of “skrrt skrrt”, white people used to say “let’s skedaddle”

        i miss those days

    I think skibidi will still be a thing as it existed long before this.

    Remember “SKIBIDI BOP MM DA DA” from long ago? I do. I think this codified it more than anything.

    67 I am mixed on but lean toward it still existing long in the future.

    As for other zoomer and alpha slang? I feel “type shit” is gonna survive, “gigachad” will survive, and things like “ate” and “left no crumbs” and “sigma” will not.

    Now let us wait 10 years to see how I am wrong about all of this as I usually tend to be bad at predicting things.

      IMO the big part of surviving is recognizability. An inside joke or something that requires more than surface level understanding (Which 67 falls into even if that inside joke is that it doesnt mean much of anything.) isn’t going to make the cut.

      With that in mind, “Type shit” deffo makes sense, since it exists as practically a interjection that just confirms you’re listening, like “yup”.
