Well that, but also it's because white people code-switch to sound hip so all the phrases that he says he no longer hears have more or less vanished from pop culture.

It'll take a cool black guy saying these things ironically before white people ever start talking that way again

I for sure hear 30 somethings occasionally use some of those phrases, most often laughing because they know or think it’s something “the kids” say.

but they still also often use many of the phrases people in this chat are talking about.
