Caveats: I am not Japanese and was never a high-schooler there, though I have lived and worked there via an internship through my grad school. So I got the insulated experience. I assemble the cultural context from outside, more through media than through primary sources, so my read is not necessarily better than the average weeaboo.
Counter-caveat: I have spoken the language for like 18 years at this point wow, and I use it every day in my day job. I can (and have) written a HELLA ACCURATE videoconference scene.
