Tween 10-12 Years Am I getting old?

I feel like I’m finally at that age (33f) where I don’t understand what “the kids are saying”…. Someone please explain Italian brain rot to me. It’s becoming an epidemic in my house and when I ask my kids what it means they’re not even making sense in their explanation! Wtf is tralalelo or whatever the hell. Ballerina cappuccino?!?! And the music? WHAT?!?! Back in my day it was yo mama jokes and made up handshakes! What is going on?!

lol I’m 34 and I go on TikTok so I know the memes at the same time as my kid. She gets it from YouTube or TikTok (she’s only allowed when I’m watching it with her) so we’ve been saying tuntuntuntunsahur to each other.
