Naw

nikkas been saying certain slang for at least 30+ years overtime, that just can’t be the answer

"wack" and "cool" have been going for decades

N' word still going strong though

Imagine if we could bring back "honey" instead of "thot" or "bad bytch"

 

[O.T.I.S.]

When they stopped wearing these I assume

I was going to come in here and say, "The same reason people don't say Jive Turkey anymore," but a bunch of people beat me to it.

A lot the slang yall associate with the 70s, wasnt black people but jewish writers. Thats why they called it Blaxploitation. Nobody was saying jive turkey in real life,

 

[Ghost Utmost]

There are no 'real' words. All words are made up at some point.

The youth will differentiate themselves from their parents. The weird part is

in our community

as well as American culture as a whole, actually

The adults follow what the kids do. By virtue of socials most likely. When I was a budding Hip Hopper, the adults basically hated what we were doing. They stuck with their Classic R and B. I was 8 YO in 1983. Started rhyming.

But. Right On Breh. Right On

[Diondon]

I wanna bring back "word up" without YNs looking at me like I'm Fredro Starr

 

[wire28]

Why did people stop saying crunk?

 

[Chrishaune]

Youth controls our culture which is the problem.

You have to get into the psychology behind that. Grown black people are not being promoted in common media in America. They don't want to hear black folks true feelings. They want to manipulate the black youth.

It became "facts" sometimes
