"20 /20 You did great! How old are you really? If you are not Gen Z or Gen Alpha, this result seems sus." I'm 42. I'm Gen X. What am I doing with my life? Why do I know all of this slang?! SEND HELP.

i got 19/20 also gen X. i'm not sure it's a gen thing, though, seems more an internet thing. which, i guess, is a gen thing, since the youngens are living online more than older people. Lakota, we're still cool! LOLOL

20/20. Some, are things that have been said for 20+ years. Some, are the same, but misspelled. The rest, I know because I have five teenagers. They don't talk like that, but they do show me videos they think are funny.

Okay, so I only got a 19/20. As for how old I am really, picture it, Georgia, late summer/early fall 1986. Seriously though, Context is everything. If this was was colonial era slang, I'd fail.

42, 14/20, but as I don't even talk to my own age group all that much, ... it's gonna be obsolete and surpassed in a year or two anyway, once the oldtimers (am I one yet?) start trying to adopt it.

19/20 and I just turned 52. And the one I missed is because I hit the wrong button on my iPad because tremors 😂 I forgot we are supposed to be in a nursing home watching Murder She Wrote and Matlock reruns by now, not going to concerts, hiking and playing sports. Might break a pElvis. Or discover a new band like Led Zeppelin.
