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?

    My dude, even when I was a young American woman in prime meme-consumption age, I couldn’t keep up with all of it. Keeping up would require so many hours online, it’s not something to be jealous of.

    At least that’s what I tell my middle-aged self to cope with being old and slow.
