Delulu of a gen X

Me, the gen X incidently has more millennials and gen Z as acquaintances or close associates. It’s delulu and icky sometimes to be slaying with them. Tbh, tfw you think you are a woke understanding them, they dang you with their modern day twists. Ifyyk.

They are menty, but on socials they are all rizz and sometimes goat.

But IRL, salty, pressed, side eyeing, smol. IDK, what makes them cancel themselves and always compare themselves with the other person who they think is dank, ate or bougie. Big yikes I should say, I am bruh.

Writing all these in their lingo would make me Chengy.

Brass installation in ny streets which shows the core absent, are we representing something ?

I for sure pity this generation who can’t complete their words or even sentences and plugged all the time, but are unplugged mostly.
