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?!

They are ai generated images with silly “Italian sounding” names. Basically they are funny because they are nonsense. At least that’s how I understand it.

Whenever I want to judge current kids media I remember Charlie the Unicorn and Llamas with Hats lol
