I wouldn't know. Because I am old and I feel it right now.
A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I've been trying it myself and it's pretty bussin' bruh. I'm dripping all over the place now!
You're a radical cat daddyo
I'm an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like "swell," "keen," and "golly." I've been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it's slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.
What is HMU? The only thing that sounds right if I rack my brain, is "holler me up", but idk I'm mentally old and can't keep up with "hip" culture.
"holler me up"
Almost got it! HMU stands for “hit me up”, as in contact me.
It's got too much punctuation though. That's not a dig either, it really does have too much for what they're trying for.
That was my first thought but then I realized that if I, a 30-something year old old person, understand every word of it, it's gotta be a lil sus.
I have reached the age where I find gags like this - and the massive cringe effect they inflict on young folks - fucking hilarious.
i'm comfortable with my fate. who ever really needed hair on their head anyway?
I admit, the idea of a teenager being highly annoyed by that sign amuses me greatly.
The thing is, all of the grammar is correct so it's not actually that cringe. They definitely did their research!
Translated for gen alpha:
level 5 gyatt rizz livvy dunne rizzing up baby gronk ice spice wat da dawg doin skibidi toilet in real life only in ohio we go jim zyzz creatine alpha sigma cuh dey board
okay but that conveys no information whatsoever.
I'm like 70% sure they just make up words and infer meaning from tone.
Fellow millennial here. Dis white boy don’t got a clue.
Edit: Ignore this. I replied to the wrong comment. Told you I don’t got a clue.
(it's a copypasta)
I took this text and made ChatGPT translate it to 2008 teenager lingo:
Yo, what’s good? If you peep anything sketchy or straight-up wack, like a jacked-up toilet or whatever, hit me up at -number- ASAP. For real though, we’re low-key hustlin’ to make this campground poppin’. We ain’t stoppin’ till this spot’s lit AF and everyone’s vibin’ with it. We’re counting on you, fam. Much love, thanks!
That’s hella accurate
I hate that this feels natural, and I wasn't even speaking English in 2008
That second sign has big "hello fellow children" vibes.
A principal I worked for one time asked me to write up a student survey. It annoyed me, so I wrote up the entire thing in that type of cringy try hard lingo. It backfired as she loved it and the students took it. The students in my class looked at me when they gave it to the school and said,"WTF sin_free?" I said sorry, they asked why, I explained the situation, they laughed and we moved on.
What's up? Hit me up at -number- if you see anything that is suspect or distinctly uncomfortable or unimpressive, like (I don't know...) a toilet that got badly messed up or something. To be honest, we are openly and boldly trying to improve the attractiveness of this campground. We are determined to keep at it until this place is obviously desirable and impressive. We need your help, friends. Thank you.
Y'all, I'm an Xennial nerd who likes listening to academic podcasts, NPR, and (as frequently featured on NPR) liberal middle-aged white men singing country-blues-rock. I collect fountain pens and watch college football. I am deeply, deeply uncool. I understood every single word of the teen sign. (though, okay, I learned a couple of them several months ago listening to NPR, LOL).
Does that mean I'm cooler than I think, or the sign is less cool than it thinks?
You're lit fam.
-- an old
I'd much rather people text than phone me, it's like a primative ticketing system
Exactly. I can triage everything.
I assume the language used is already dated. They'll need to change the sign every year.
hello fellow kids!
When the campground texts you back with a green bubble
When your opinions are based on bullshit brand loyalty free marketing

What is a green bubble?
Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing a quality product, displays texts from Android devices in a deliberately unpleasant to look at shade of green, and cripples features of the group chat if even one member of it is using a non-Apple device, incentivizing groups of friends and even families to ostracize people for using a different phone.

It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android
