Now I think about it, I do think it's something most young people grow out of once they become adults. At least in my experience anyway
Like I said I've never been one for text speech even as a teen, but being a millennial obviously a lot of my friends were doing it when we were that age. I've noticed that the stupidly abbrieviated texts have become a lot less common as we've moved into our 20s. Seeing texts like "wat u doin 2nite?" almost never happens these days. Almost all of my current contacts and even my younger brother (17) have grown out of it.
It's something I mostly associate with 12 year olds who are new to texting and get a buzz off using "dank abbrievs", they think it's cute.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
