Unless you like to lie.
No one over a certain age would bother reading the list. Just like they wouldn't care about rap music or have to worry about acne. Surprising as it may be to some, being a teenager is not a lifelong ambition.

"Dope" is old slang so it should be used by someone in their 40s.
Younger slang would call it fire or on fleek and ever those terms are becoming dated.

This. OP is a fool and apparently very uncool.
Dope was slang in the 80s-90s.
I would expect someone in their 40s to use it, NOT someone in their 20s.

People using 'there' when it should be 'their'.

When you're under 30 language is about signalling belonging to your peer group - which is why the over-30's aren't entitled to use the same language - they don't "belong". Later in life language can become a means of communicating with those not like you. But you won't know that till you get there.
Sometimes throwing their phrases back at them is more powerful than them using it in the first place.

It's even worse when you are older and you here all these younger people not speaking English correctly or using the word "literally" or "literal" incorrectly and to replace 200 words in our language. Snapchat and other social media has been a floodgate to speak and chat wrong and to make up words or take words and make them mean whatever you want! "The Goat" that word is now used for anyone that is good at anything. Younger people who are less educated with less experience judging their elders is funny.
Here? I think you need to work on writing correctly, pal

Sounding 'cool' is important at an age when we care a lot about how others think about us; then we reach an age when most of us don't care - we aren't cool and we likely never were. It's quite a burden to be relieved of.

Agree. I don’t know if Twitter phrases count for these lists but I really hate all the “I don’t know who needs to hear this but....” tweets and the tweets that end in “thanks for coming to my TED talk”.
There is a lot of good content on Twitter but I cringe whenever I see posts that include the above.
Also using "checks notes" to reinforce how correct and accurate your epic tweet is.
