Am I too old or too European or too non-native speaker to understand this?

I don't know what a kickback is in this context. . Pull up means showing up. Doing a solid means a big favor.

It's mostly 90s slang.

Edit: low-key means subtly

Kickback is like a chill party

As in 'to kickback and relax'

The only Gen z term in this meme is "lowkey".

The rest is gen x and millennial

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago

Low key/low-key/lowkey, has been used well before gen z in the same way. It's definitely gotten more popular though

i used lowkey in the 90s

I am Gen X, and have never used any of the things in this meme except solid. Iunno where u you ou grew up but that is not Gen X.

I’m guessing Gen z adopted “kick back” (verb) and made it “kickback” (noun) based on other comments in this thread? We would not have used it that way in the 90s.
