28x we want these old-fashioned curse words back

friends characters who are angry

Last week I wrote about the words that we according to Gen Z really can’t use anymore. Well, there were quite a few. For example, this generation has replaced all swear words with the one little word ‘psycho’, which is quite convenient. Apparently, they don't need much.

Still, I would find it a shame if we have to say goodbye to words like ‘klootzak’, ‘trut’ and ‘lul’, because let’s be honest: they just sound so much better, right? And isn’t it a bit exaggerated to shout ‘psycho’ at someone from your bike? Okay, swearing on a bike is anyway exaggerated, but that’s beside the point. Well, so many beautiful swear words have already been lost, isn’t that a pity?

That’s why I propose that we give these classic swear words a comeback. Gen Z can feel free to keep saying ‘psycho’.
