What's your opinion on the widespread use of Gen Z slang like "delulu" in mainstream culture?
Gen Z slang is for entertainment — it's meant to be funny. Words like rizz or aura are supposed to be silly. For example, the idea of "aura" just means that someone has presence or a cool personality, but the word exaggerates it in a humorous way.
My recommendation: don't take Gen Z slang too seriously. See slang words as jokes or memes instead of as a generational shift.
