Yes but that doesn’t mean that you can’t keep up. I’m 32 and i understand most zoomer humor and references aside from what’s supposed to be funny about deep fried memes. Like clinically i understand but i’m just not laughing.
urbandictionary.com for all your confuzzlement moments.

I’m still waiting for these kids to come up with something as cool as 1337speak or shiznit.
44y/o chiming in.
I’m 41 and really don’t care much about their lingo.

I’m 44. The amount of eyeroll doesn’t diminish just from knowing what the things mean. It probably increases honestly.

Not in most contexts, no. Unless you are, in fact, getting Play Of Game with a Phatass White Girl, in which case gratz bro.

im 37 and no clue on bussy. The others though I know, whether I want to or not. I prefer to know nothing from or deriving of anime, weeb or furry culture in any way, form or fashion.

Most zoomer trends are like this. We can really just blame oversaturation of content aging concepts far faster than they would in earlier times. Basically, speed is the only real difference from previous generations and current. It has made quite a difference though, crazy and fascinating if you think about it academically.
Disclaimer: I’m a zoomer saying this, so the context I operate on is limited.
I’ll be 56 in November and I miss the 1980s.

Thank you for clearing that part up for me! I retired out of the Army a few years ago, and back in that culture, POG was a derogatory term for anyone that wasn’t a super expert shooting, 300 PT score having, Airborne jumping, Air Assault swinging, Infantry soldier. So every time I see it relating to this game, that’s what I thought of. 
It’s been almost six years since I retired and I’m still retraining my brain.

UwU is just a cute face with the eyes close, anime characters look like this.
OwO is the same, but with eyes open.
Poggers are people who get Pogs during their streams.
Pog = Play of the game
Is it weird that as people explain these things they actually sound dumber than I imagined they would?
Society in decline I say!

Politics is downstream from culture. Lol.
And everything is downstream of the internet/social media.
Well except me. This forum is the only social media I have and I’ll be gone in two days.

if it were to use it in a sentence it would probably get me banned.
Isn’t it a neat feeling turning 40 soon? realizing that you just spent four decades doing things and now what lies ahead are the years you start to fall apart and people giving you that look you gave crazy old people when you were young? All downhill from here!
…hic!

I grew up around London, you noobs wouldn’t stand a chance.
The one that starts with a B (not typing it as it might be considered vulgarity lol) reminds me of that youtube channel that interviews celebrities and has them read Thirst Tweets. Almost every actor goes “What’s a B?”
I’m going 36 this year and… uwu and owo is some kind of “facial expression” I think. I’ve no idea what they are supposed to represent though.
Poggers and Bussy? No idea. I’ve got some plausible references for Bussy but to elaborate would get me banned.
Lifestyle I think is a polite way of referring to “alternate” intimate life choices. Again can’t elaborate without risking a ban.
In all honesty you are not missing anything.
Edit: Grammar.
