I’m still fairly young and hear many women my age making certain references, using slang, or memes related to the U.S. and American culture.
Sometimes, I don’t understand the references though, as I do speak English but grew up where people did not.
My parents grew up in the US and speak English but of course, only really know the pop culture of their day.
Does anyone else (especially people who grew up somewhere else) not understand Anglophone slang or pop culture?
I see this in a roommate and I kind of envy them. Sometimes I understand how a meme or reference works, but I don’t really want to share the cultural substrate required to explain it to them when they ask.
