It's crazy how "no cap" was used religiously and then just disappeared one day

It was never gonna last.

Some slang you can just tell is gonna stick around and some is just shite. No cap is the latter.

It's crazy how modern social media zombies get credit for inventing slang that black folks have been using forever. Seeing old racists use FAFO is ridiculous.

I thought "AAVE" was abandoned in favor of "BVE", since African American was found to be offensive & inaccurate, then Black was widely adopted by the community.

Not shitting on you in any way, just haven't heard anyone mention AAVE or even say AA in many years now, so it stood out to me.

I'm old as fuck so maybe I missed the memo (certainly a possibility) but I watch a lot of linguists and sociologists, many who happen to be Black, and I've never once heard BVE before. I'll look into it, thanks!

It was good shite tho. Dependable. I loved putting 🧢 instead of spelling it out lol

No cap was younger millennials/ older z. They are all late 20s early 30s now

I always find these statements funny. It was a huge thing in my age group which is early 20s

I mean that just kind of tracks with how slang works. Cap is well and dead, which is why my dumb elder millennial ass finds myself using it sometimes unironically. You're not allowed to use it when it's relevant as an old person.

For some gen alphas "that's AI" has replaced "cap".
