How do you explain how long you’ve been searching for a job to a new employer? If I ever get another interview I have no idea what I will say. “Bro have you seen this garbage job market?”…. “I was searching for just the right fit to put in my application.” …. “What it doesn’t normally take 10 months to find a new job?”

Laughing and crying because it’s so spot on. I do like to think that employers have some idea how it is out there. I try to focus on what I was doing in the meantime to help myself upskill, although getting a job would be my preferred use of the time.

I have just been honest. I tell them I have been looking and applying but haven't been getting calls back because of the state of the job market. I just leave it at that.

If you were to address me and lead your answer to a question I asked in an interview with "Bro......", you'd not be invited back for a second interview or offered the job at the end of the interview.

I'm not your "Bro", "Dude" or "Bruh"... I'm the person offering you a regular paycheck in a job/field you want to work in, and, a way out of the situation you're in at the moment.
