Chud is super old, the movie C.H.U.D. (Carnivorous Humanoid Underground Dwellers) came out in 1984 and has been used ever since. It's funny that it's most popular now, but it's as old as the others
Okay, but where is schway? I know it is technically older than 90s, but Batman Beyond has cemented that word in my vocab. Even though I barely ever get a chance to use it.
I personally am not a fan of a lot of modern 2020s slang but chud is one I do get behind.

The youth is just slangmaxxing, no worries
Understand goyim from the replies (no surprise), had to look up foid.
Dumb fucking basement dwelling incel-bait.
Our fucking society, lol.
Every young generation invents and uses their own in-group words. You may think it's stupid, but you used to do it. And possibly still do. 🤷♂️
My cat is cooler than yours
Damn right, my cat's better than yours
He can teach you, but I have to charge
My kitty brings all the puss to the yard

Damn right, my cat's better than yours
lala lalaLA 🤭
These days a lot of slang follows some kind of cookie cutter format. Redpill/blackpill, coomer/zoomer, X-oid, X-maxxing, etc. If it doesn't meet some threshold of social media viability then it's not getting adopted.
Whack
So basically 2026 slang is 2012 4Chan slang and is accurately reflected.
