oh my god a new generation is making different slang and memes? should we kill them????

I don't think the issue is that it's new or different. I think the problem is the amount. It feels like pop culture is a firehose now. It definitely feels like the democratization of culture that happened with the rise of the internet has kind of saturated our ability to process things.

This is the first generation truly raised on the internet and the speed of new slang reflects that.

I'm approaching 40 and I was online before middle school. This might be the first generation to be wholly raised on the internet (as in the vast majority of children), but it certainly isn't the actual first.
