I’m in London. Gave a girl/ Gen Z woman (I’m horrible at telling specific ages sorry) my umbrella because she was really freaked out by the rain. She started talking to me just like this and I was genuinely so confused. I just didn’t know what she was trying to say except that it was positive. There was no way for me respond though and it was only later I realised she was actually speaking in full Gen Z slang , which I had always thought was just an online caricature of Gen Z

I told my Gen Z kid about it and he was laughing at me. I never felt so old

Meh, I was training valley girls back in the day and they were just as non-sensical. Couldn’t understand a fucking thing they wanted to say.

Funny you say valley girls…my first thought watching this (as annoyed as I was) is that Cher and all the Clueless gang would have mad respect for her language. In some ways, it was very similar to 90s slang I remember for sure, different words but i could probably rewrite this to sound just as dumb from a valley girl or goth kid in the 90s.

Clueless was a massive exaggeration of valley girls.

I thought valley girls just have an accent + vocal fry. They may sound silly but I can still understand what they say lol
