Merriam-Webster launched a fun distraction called the Time Traveler to find when a word was first used in print.
Pick a year from their drop down menu and you'll see what hip words coincide with your birth year. For example, let's go with 1988, the year I graced this world.
Here are some words that made the MW cut:
Boomerang child
F-bomb
Docuseries
Swole
Queer theory
I also think it's incredibly rude "unibrow" and my birth happened in the same year. It was a prophecy that 12-year-old me didn't deserve.
