It's been a while since I've been on these forums and since then it's really shifted from millennials being the target YA audience to gen z and well, now I'm old, apparently. lol
Gen z is a whole different beast with a whole new languauge. Do you pay much attention to gen z slang? I don't intend to pile on tons of hype phrases in to my book but I am going to try to avoid some of the VERY millennial phrases that are considered lame to teens. Specifically: cool.
Cool is no longer cool, just so you know lol. I don't know what to replace it with though. Cool is like a staple to me! Example:
"What's your name?"
"Candice."
"Cool. So..."
What word do I use for general/casual recognition? I dunno. I'm old.
Do you pay any attention to this or no?
