Yup, the cringe hits differently when you realize you’re that old now.

The whiplash between “I’m still young” and “why do they talk like that” is real.

They’re so repetitive and its annoying. No matter how many times Ive heard the same thing, they just yap the same siht for 100 times till they feel good.

Honestly most if the words (pretty much all AAVE) are easy to incorporate. I think most people just don’t have other people they feel comfortable using it with and that’s where the disjuncture comes from.
I use “for real” and “on god”, or “glazing” semi-sarcastically but also casually because I’m friends with a lot of people younger than me or groups where that new language flourished for one reason or another.
You don’t have to love it, but these words come up for a reason and they slide into modern language seamlessly – with the right group.
There’s also way more relaxed words like “bruh” which is the new “bro” and you already know and are comfortable with. New language isn’t a scary thing. I think most people “get” the new stuff but without people they feel comfortable using it around it becomes scary and “stupid”. Even though every generation has its own stuff.

Eh, as a 35yo I just think of the cringe I do in my 30s and that makes 20yo’ds not seem as bad to me. You don’t stop being cringey with age, you just find more age appropriate cringey things to do or say.

Guess what, this is what the “baby boomers” felt around the 70’s and 80’s, lol.

To be fair I didn’t talk like a 20yo when I was actually 20

I heard a group of teenagers talking at the mall today and I honestly thought they were speaking a different language.
