Is your teen 'a gangsta from the hood'?!?!

My 14 year old son speaks in rap and I have no clue what he is talking about most of the time. Lots of 'blud' 'bruva' and sucking his teeth. Funnily enough, he is neither from the hood nor a gangsta and we are a fairly normal family! We don't live in The Bronx and we don't wear soverign rings!
When oh when will he return to normal? Anyone else's teen doing this? Confused

My son is trying to be all “street” but the only street he’s from is Sesame Street so I’m hoping it’ll wear off very soon.

PS - my new favourite hobby ever is singing along to all the cool tunes in the car. Nothing can kill a buzz quicker than your ancient mother “spittin’ some sick tunes, blud”

We were all goths or emos in my day / town. Now it's gangsta or obsessing over sodding gender.
This is so true!! My DS is in the first group my DD in the second!
