    Not to be an ass, but youre 20 so you arent one of “The Kids” anymore lmao. Youre an adult now. I think your point definitely still stands though. Im only slightly older than you and when I was in highschool virtually everyone had IG, Snapchat and Twitter. I dont talk to anyone in the highschool age bracket but I think they probably still use IG/Snap/Twitter (or X if you prefer).

      I said I’m 20 because it’s been only 2 years since I experienced that. My brother who is 17 has an instagram.

      p.s., saying “not to be an ass” doesn’t suddenly make anything following that not sound like you being an ass.

      Being 20, I’d assume they have friends who are younger than them, and therefore are well and truly in touch with what “the kids” are doing.
