It's AAVE, not "gen z language" or "stan/twitter language"

(for those of you who don't know what aave is - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English)

there was a tik tok where a black girl was basically saying that gen z is appropriating aave and its true. this generation prides itself on being "woke" yet still managed to steal yet another thing from black people and claim it as their own.

using AAVE is fine as long as you understand where it comes from, and why you're using it, and aren't rebranding it as something else.
