I do like the joke of being able to do cross generational references with "68 +- 1".

This is my guess too. I personally knew of some examples dating back to the 70s using it, but apparently 'coolness' as a term has been around since at least the 15th century.

69 is older than that and it's still here

I don’t think Cool is even slang anymore. It’s just a descriptive word

Sounds neat, but this is an utterly trash take.

You can attribute certain phrases sure, like cap/no cap being from African American centric culture, but were black groups saying 6-7 or skibbidi toilet 15 years ago?

Hell, the slang, "shipping" came from a nerd website about X-Files.

There are no more groups that culturally evolve in a vacuum.

And then you low key disparage black culture by saying mainstream culture is not for them? And that they drive it because they are not in it!? I'm starting to think you don't actually even understand what culture is.

This is such a juvenile and shallow understanding.

Well it IS verbal wildfire.

Hadn't heard that one yet. How's it used?

I will not let yeet die

With under 10 yo, yes. Not sure about ohioing though.

They existed?

That makes sense Rizz is a off shoot of charisma

That’s already true…

I hardly ever use “lol” to mean laugh out loud. It’s also just interspersed in sentences to denote when something is not really serious lol.

Side note: If you SAY "lol", either the words, the initials or pronouncing it as a word itself, you'll be judged.

IMO the big part of surviving is recognizability. An inside joke or something that requires more than surface level understanding (Which 67 falls into even if that inside joke is that it doesnt mean much of anything.) isn't going to make the cut.

With that in mind, "Type shit" deffo makes sense, since it exists as practically a interjection that just confirms you're listening, like "yup".

I’ve never heard that.

I don't think that is true of Ohio or skibbidi actually. Though insano style slang are different
