Fully agree, same can be said about ever young generation’s slang. What “bet”, “cap”, “rizz” and others used by the younger population isn’t wrong, it’s different and an evolution of certain terms. I don’t study linguistics, but I can be sure there are terms we use today and take as normal-speak that were once the center of a younger generation’s slang vernacular. An extreme example is the word retard. Years ago in normal speak you could say “After the EPA enacted stricter emissions regulations, this initially retarded the development of sports cars until new technology was implemented” other obvious examples are the medical angle of the word. Today, you could use the word in such a way, it’s technically correct, however you’ll most likely get some odd looks. Most uses of it today are either in specific comedic circles, or derogatorily towards another person/thing/animal etc
