Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.

I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.

I still call things the bomb :(

Yeah, but do you call even cooler things "the bomb dot com"?
