Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.
Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.

“cool” though, “cool” never dies

It’s nice to have slang for a word, but i do hate when people misuse it and then the word devolved. For example, gaslight.
Gaslighting is when you hold a match to your butthole and fart.
