I am calling the new, more popular language "sleep talking" because the speakers are asleep to the original meaning of the words, and the words are therefore put to sleep.
Sleep talking is a faster, different language; geared for an understanding among speakers, as is all language.
Perhaps the conversational points they are indicating are equally important to these speakers, even as they mimic sounds, (like "like"), that obscure the points they may be making.
Or maybe this muted delivery style reveals how people are protective and adapting themselves to a scarier world.
Whether it is denial or the softening of reality, the communication of this new language seems to be that the speakers are "all good" and bound together in the dream that the sounds create: amazing, awesome, sweet.
Since nowhere has it been announced that this sleep talk is a new and important language to analyze and understand, let me be the one.
Maybe now that I know there are two separate languages, I can get some sleep.
