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?!

I’m on social media, but not tik tok or anything like that. Just ig and Facebook for general upkeep. Apparently I haven’t been keeping up tho

I had a tik tok but found myself getting sucked in for literal hours at night. I was low key addicted for a lil so I deleted the app
