Well, that’s part of why I think those have staying power.
Same with some slang that’s been around but has recently been elevated to new heights, like “cooked” re-entering the slang mainstream and some younger people thinking their generation invented it.
Or newer syntactical/grammatical constructions that borrow from established phrases, like “it’s giving (noun or noun phrase)” to mean some kind of description. Or industry jargon that enters the mainstream. Once those hit a threshold popularity they tend to stick around as well.
I am confident that drip is even older lmao
