Slang Lifespan Chart
How long each major Gen Alpha term stayed current, in months — and the point in that cycle at which a term reliably dies.
Gen Alpha slang terms stay current for between about 18 months and three years — on fleek lasted 18 months, sus and fanum tax 24, yeet and rizz 36 — and a term reliably dies about when adults start using it sincerely.
