It's the yoof:

Everything is "perfect, amazing, reaching out, going forward, be kind" etc etc

Sit in a Teams meet at work if you have to and play Reaching out or going forward bingo.

Our Teams meetings from head office regularly include "deep dives" and "upticks" as well as the above.

‘power lunch’

What is this, drifting a Nissan GTR, giving it a dab of oppo, while eating a bowl of Minestrone soup with a pair of chopsticks?
