I feel like this comic is mislabeled. Gen z should be boomer, or Gen Z should be saying something to a millennial, but not millennial to Gen z.

If all words weren't made up, I'd call bullshit on that.

I'm now truly grateful I was never cool. I'm no more lost now when teenagers talk than I was when I was a teenager.

New W? Or last month’s. We’ve been having a few lately and it ain’t something we’re used to

It's the newspaper that is off-putting

For me the joke just doesn't work reversed. The younger generation grows up hearing the older generations slang, so even if the younger generation doesn't use that slang they know it. Older generations don't tend to keep up with younger generations slang so, at least to me, the joke really only works with the older not understanding the younger.
