So why do kids these days respond to “Thank you” by saying, “No problem”?

Uh, I do that myself…it’s kind of in the same vein as the Spanish “de nada”.

Edited to add, I see somebody above me drew the same comparison with “de nada” that I thought of.

Also, sometimes I say “basically” or “literally”.

The only thing I don’t understand about “kids today” is how they enjoy such soppy, terrible music.
And I’m not the kind of old person who thinks everything made after I was 25 is terrible music, either.
It’s had its ups and downs.

But a lot of the music today has very simplistic melodies, or the “millennial whoop” which I find very annoying, or it’s just very romantic and mushy and frankly, gross to the point where it would have embarrassed me as a 20-year-old to listen to it.

For example, there is a song by Ed Sheeran, who I understand is quite the heartthrob, called “Thinking Out Loud” that starts out with “When your legs don’t work like they used to before”, which is about the LAST thing I want to be dwelling on in a romantic mood, and it just gets worse from there.

There is another one by a guy named James Arthur where he sings about he and the girl drank too much and he held her hair back while she was throwing up. I’m sorry but that is just disgusting and immature to me, and not what I want to hear in a love ballad. I didn’t want to hear anything like that when I was in my teens either, my friends and I would have laughed and made fun of it.

What are they carrying in those backpacks when they aren’t even near a school??? I don’t understand. Is it the same as carrying a purse? In my day, kids just took backpacks to and from school. Now it is weird to see a kid without one.
 
Ha! In my day, there were no backpacks, except for camping trips.

I think they are used like a purse. Or a Murse.
 
Is this as in just strolling down the street or going somewhere? If going somewhere, probably an iPad (not saying that’s good, just noting it) or something and or if they’re going to a store with friends, to hold their stuff they buy. I know it’s common for me to see middle schoolers on bikes with drawsacks at the store I work at.
