In every generation there will be something that is
very specific. It is the niche among other generations. For the
80’s era, fashion would be their legacy. We would always
look back from that era to have some inspiration on what
we wear today. For the 90’s era, it would be the rise of a new
age of music. A new perspective on eargasmic senses. Then
there’s 2000’s, where fashion and music combine in one and
have created a statement for everyone. It is also the turning
point for Technology and finally on our age, 2010’s! We tend
to create a new word out of an existing one, and it all boils
down to our contribution. Our Lingo, the things we teenagers
usually say. Here are the words that a cool and trendy Filipino
teen uses today!
