There is a difference, honestly.
They can speak in an entirely different language. Ours wasn't even close to the same level. Maybe our parents said "groovy" and we said "rad" instead. They said "far out" and we said "whack" or "messed up". You didn't need a dictionary to decipher our slang and there just honestly wasn't a lot of it.
