Is it like slay to use sick street talk like in your lit literature, or is that just gonna give you salty vibes?

NOTHING dates (or localizes) writing like street talk: it's really best avoided except in dialog (or narrative viewpoint), when you deploy it to put a datestamp or location on your prose.

Be warned that old slang may age into quaintness or hilarity for cultural reasons, or just render your writing impenetrable and obscure.
