Not only among English speakers, from what I’ve heard, so I’d daresay it’s worldwide. It’s a generational thing though, and plenty of youngsters use it these days, below the age of 20.
It’s weird being on the other end, compared to in my younger days when we used slang like “yo” and “dig it” and felt cool/relevant lol
They’re probably careful not to use the slang around you, not to embarrass you! ;-) The teens I’m around are shy about it, anyways. Perhaps ask them next time you see them, see how they respond?

That’s fair but I work at a university and have teen nieces and nephews so I usually hear the new slang.
But not always I guess.
