The rise of older generations using Gen Z slang on platforms like TikTok highlights a disconnect, leading to an inevitable dilution of the language’s original cultural significance.
Despite the playful nature of these 'Gen Z writes the marketing script' videos, it signals a deeper issue: the appropriation of cultural phrases that belong to marginalized groups.
The influx of boomers using Gen Z slang indicates a generational shift but also a form of cultural appropriation that can undermine the terms' histories and meanings.
As language evolves through generations, the use of slang by older individuals often leads to a loss of originality, creativity, and cultural respect.
