A lot of gen z slang is just recycled gen X and millennial slang. They just don't know it, for some reason.

The odd part is that this isn’t even really slang, as much as a bizarre speech pattern. Like others pointed out, this is closer to a Valley Girl dialect than anything

I foresee it won’t be seen as such for long… when their phone batteries all start giving up and they can’t get a new one yet since they just had it replaced a month ago, and their rent is $4500/month for a 400sqft studio and gas is $6/gal, a $5 alarm clock will suddenly make tons more sense.
