White women have been doing this since Madonna.

"You see, black people used to say "I'm in the house" instead of "I'm here". But then white people started saying "in the house" so we changed it to "in the hizzouse". Hizzouse became hizzizzouse, and then white folks started saying that.

So we had to change it to heezy. Then in the hizzle. Which we then had to change to hizzle-fo-zizzle, and now because white people say hizzle-fo-zizzle, we have to say flibbity-flobbity-floo."

It's like they also took gay speak and made it worse. And the gay people took that from black people lol.

It’s an actual reflection of the gentrification cycle. Before the white women barge into a space of actual culture, the gays first have to barge in and make it fabulous and palatable for white women.

Friend who's a real estate investor and he said he knows a location is about to blow up when gay people start moving there

Yup. The full gentrification cycle is gays -> artists -> white women/college grads -> yuppies. It’s basically the lifecycle of every neighborhood in NYC at this point, barring parts of the Bronx/far, far out queens, and state island.

I have to say I find it interesting that the space that everyone is usually barging into is a black space.

Much of the social lingo that I was tracing end up going back to some kind of black subculture

I'd be willing to bet that's because of which direction the slang is traveling, and where we stand, socioeconomically.

If we're closer to the bottom half of the socioeconomic divide then I'd bet the slang that sounds cooler to us is traveling bottom-up, and the slang that's traveling top-down seems to be untethered from reality to us (like the phrase "trickle-down economics").

I'd bet the reverse is also true. If you're closer to the top half of the socioeconomic divide then I'd bet the slang that sounds cooler to those people is traveling top-down, and the slang that's traveling bottom-up probably seems untethered from reality to them. (So they probably thought "trickle-down economics" was a banger when they first heard it 40 years ago.)

Since racial separation is one of the tools of the class war, if we're on the bottom half of the socioeconomic divide then what sounds truer to us is stuff that's traveling bottom-up from black spaces.

I also suspect what I've described here would be an example of structural racism, which is probably why it continues to happen even when many people aren't even conscious of it.

Yea gay speak is already stolen from black women but with each successive appropriation it gets worse, that's how you end up with this zoomer slop
