kids jaman now
"Kids jaman now" the Indonesian slang term for "today's children". That being said, preschoolers and students who are still in primary or secondary fulfill the definition of "kids jaman now", whilst college students, young adults, and adults don't.
I once heard the claim that a 2004-born person is a 2000's kid if he started college in 2021 or 2022 and is going to have finished college by 2026, but a 2010's kid if he didn't start college until 2023 and won't finish college until late 2020's. The claim about being classified as a 2000's kid or 2010's kid based on college attendance is more about the cultural milestones and generational shifts rather than strict definitions. Starting college in 2021 or 2022 and finishing in 2026 aligns you with experiences characteristic of a 2000's kid. In contrast, starting college in 2023 and finishing in the late 2020s might connect you more with "kids jaman now", as you'd be experiencing significant cultural shifts associated with the 2010's generation.

With this screen time—self esteem syndrome, I worry if my classmates still continue to chat with me on WhatsApp even when my mom has said, "Get off your phone."

run-of-the-mill
The trailer makes it clear that the 2023 Barbie movie, is neither a run-of-the-mill children's movie nor a saccharine celebration of the doll which was first launched in 1959.

*compared to unpaid human YouTube watchers who only watch worthwhile YouTube videos
He's such a paid bot; he likes every video he watches and subscribes to over 500 channels just to keep his feed full, while I stick to quality content.

deserve
A verb that is commonly misunderstood as many people think that they "deserve" much screen time to watch YouTube, when they akcually "deserve" the ability to limit their own screen time without knowing it
Kids think they "deserve" hours of YouTube time, but what they really deserve is the ability to manage their own screen time wisely.

Stockholm syndrome
Stockholm syndrome refers to a psychological phenomenon where hostages develop positive feelings, such as sympathy and affection, toward their captors. This occurs as a coping mechanism, a form of self-preservation where the captive may come to identify with and even defend their captor. The term originated from a 1973 bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden.
After being held captive for weeks, the hostages developed Stockholm syndrome, even defending their captors during the trial.
