    “Yo” is another one that the Zoomers love. I haven’t heard so much usage of that word since the mid 90s. And “bruh” is just another form of “bro”/“brah”.

    Another good example is when twerking made a comeback a few years ago, despite not being a thing since 2000s hip hip.

      there was a book (Terry Pratchett?) I read as a young adult that had a character called Yoless because it was the 90s and he didn’t ever say “yo” and everyone thought that was notable, weird and hysterical
