>>56629830I'm aware that language evolves over time, I actually consider myself an amateur etymologist because I get pissy when people cry about words' meanings changing over time when they've meant the same thing for hundreds of years, just that they evolve to get used in different contexts.
The problem is that irony is so baked into youth culture, my culture that I grew up with in the course of the last 8-10 years (I'm 24), that it's starting to get really difficult to discern "serious" from "satire" when "satire" vs "irony" in and of itself is a conflict present in the same discussion.
Maybe I don't like thinking too much in one direction but at the same time, I don't want to perform the mental gymnastics of determining if "skibidi" as a descriptor in the same connotation as "fucking" as a descriptor is supposed to be taken seriously or not. There's no functional difference between the two aside from "skibidi" being derived from a soon-to-be-outdated meme. It's very tiring, imo.
