No, some of them just become permanent.

"Cool" first showed up in the late 1910's and early 1920's, and so fully absorbed into the culture that each subsequent generation just knows it without really considering it to be slang.

"My bad" was novel slang in the 80's, went mainstream in the 90's, and is still with us today.

I'd guess that among recent slang, "yeet," "rizz," and "drip" will have the most staying power, most likely to be picked up unironically by older generations and just propagated from there.
