I reject "sus" being zoomer exclusive. Among Us has been a huge hit for 5 years now, was popular across demographics, and made an appearance in Glass Onion, which is the boomeriest Millennial movie ever.
The rest of it, sure, go off fam.

Man’s not cappin.
I agree, but for a different reason. I had an Aussie friend that said "sus" all the time on IRC, and that was in the 00's, so it well predates Among Us.
Deadass on fleek
Oh no, I liked Glass Onion...
Sus is literally part of the Australian vernacular and was in use when I was a kid.

Thank you! I thought I was going mad because I distinctly remember saying "sus" when I was in highschool in the early 2000s. It was definitely used both as "go sus it out" but also "don't sus us miss" was something we said all the time when a teacher tried to catch students smoking behind the portables.
So it sort of just feels like Gen Z expanded the definition.

I get most of my slang from among us and then I learn the correct usage on tiktok and then I purposely do it wrong because aging is fun and I'm a parent.
