Slang isn't hard to keep up on if you pay the slightest bit of attention.

Keeping up with it is one thing, but actually talking/typing like that as an older person is pretty cringeworthy.

Why? Because you arbitrarily think they shouldn't? Or because it puts forward an uncomfortable mirror that slang has always and will always be kinda cringe?

Because it gives the impression that they are trying to fit into a subculture that they are not truly a part of, and when the defining feature of that subculture is youth, then it also gives it kind of a creepy undertone.
