I was doubting if I'm too old to get the reference, or if it's a legit complaint from the kids.

Also, what's wrong with "chat"?

Some kids talk to an imaginary stream chat like a streamer would.

Ex.- "Chat, is this real?" Or "Can you believe this, chat?"

Learning English from celebrities doing their job rather than from normal people isamn interesting trend.

Probably phrased something like how a streamer might speak, “chat, are we ____?” which I could imagine getting old 2.5 milliseconds after the class starts saying it on repeat.
