    Why do millennials use that type of language? Adulting, did a thing, well that happened, etc.

      perpetual infantilisation by boomers coupled with early exposure to unregulated internet damaged us.

      Leave us alone, bagging out generational groups for silly and harmless quirks is cringe. Making fun of millenial slang is just as dorky as millenials mocking gen z haircuts as if we didn't do skinny jeans.

      "Grown-ass adult (usually man)" also pisses me off, especially when used as a peacocking attempt against supposedly not "grown-ass" adults. It instantly sounds tryhard to me.

        Trickle down linguistics. That phrase was a staple of AAVE and white people stole it and made it cringe. A tale as old as time
