My use of kickback goes back to late 90s / early 00s.
A kickback was more “formalized” than just hanging out, but smaller than a party. Same general premise of there being drinks and food at someone’s house at a certain time and date, but the expectation is that it would be much more chill. Maybe 6-10 people or so, hang out, drink some beers, maybe smoke a bowl, that kind of thing.
I’m guessing Gen z adopted “kick back” (verb) and made it “kickback” (noun) based on other comments in this thread? We would not have used it that way in the 90s.
Am I too old or too European or too non-native speaker to understand this?
I don’t know what a kickback is in this context. . Pull up means showing up. Doing a solid means a big favor.
It’s mostly 90s slang.
Edit: low-key means subtly
Kickback is like a chill party
As in ‘to kickback and relax’
I like it.
I think kickback is like a small party https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kickback
Gen Z slang.
The only Gen z term in this meme is “lowkey”.
The rest is gen x and millennial 80s/90s slang.
Maybe “kickback” being used this way is Gen z as well but the term “kick back” as in “kick back and relax” is gen x, 80s.
Low key/low-key/lowkey, has been used well before gen z in the same way. It’s definitely gotten more popular though

I am Gen X, and have never used any of the things in this meme except solid. Iunno where u you ou grew up but that is not Gen X.
That’s a verb, this kickback is a noun, like an event for hanging out at.
