I really hate the ebonic-fication of language including among white zoomers.
When I was in like middle school, people would just for fun, but ironically and not as actual part of their conversation say things like fo-shizzle my nizzle.
It was a knowing thing of just a funny thing to occasionally say because it sounded funny and it was a snoop dogg thing. It wasn't a common thing, I just remember it being a thing on the school bus of people saying the various snoop dogg stuff, but otherwise that was the extent of ebonics bullcrap. Another way to say it is you had to very intentionally and knowingly say it, there was no casual or subconscious incorporation of "derizzles, and fo shizzles". It was not a part of our subconscious in any way. There really wasn't much of a different way of talking than my parents or any other adults. No real slang barriers.
Now, just all over the internet, gen Z and whoever uses slang like, "you know you're cooked when...", "on God", "bruh" "glazing" "no cap"
And it's literally a part of their language. Again, I was born in the early 90s....I really don't remember there being language that people had to go "what?" and look up to understand what we were saying. We just talked like normal people. And we used normal words like faggot and retard, staples since the 70s at least.
I remember going to camp one summer and there was a group of black people there and I didn't understand like 80% of what they said because it was so full of Ebonics. You needed a translator. It was like one step away from Jamaican. That's now bled it's way into general society it seems.
This ebonicsification of all of American demographics makes me feel a sense of hopelessness.
It makes me want to make a youtube video tutorial called "How to de-faggify your speech"
That was my first thought too. If 'Bruh' isn't ebonics, then it's Californian. Even worse?
I think they're separate though. The Californian 'brah' has a lower /a/ sound though and is used differently to 'bruh'. At least to my ears, 'brah' means bro more closely than 'bruh', there's more affection in it, and is an exclamation of appreciation, it is generally positive. Bruh has a more indignant or shocked use, its an exclamation used when something bad happens. Part of that is the populations using it I am sure. The stereotypically happy stoned californian hippy vs blacks are going to be using any form of 'bro' differently. But that then affects each version's use and its meaning when they are picked up elsewhere.
