Apparently you. Do you greet all the girls that way?

It is just a standard greeting. In the USA, if you ask someone "How are you?" he will say "Fine" even if he is in a cast. It is the standard opening. You aren't expected to say anything creative when asked "What's up?, any more than you are expected to talk about your health at length when asked "How are you?"
When I was in the Peace Corps, people didn't ask about your health, which was considered slightly rude. Instea, they asked "Where are you going?", which is considered slightly rude in the USA. I got used to it. There were just four answers, "To my farm", "to the town", "to school" and "home". If you were going hunting you lied, lest the animals hear you and hide. If you saw someone with his shotgun or blowpipe who was obviously going hunting, you didn't ask "Where are you going?", either; you just said "good morning".
You can try for something funny, like "the sun" or "the moon", or, if you are a male, a private part that rises when excited, or just tell the person you heard a great joke the other day about a man who walks into a bar . . .

You could answer with the same question but different words like, when they say "whats up"? You say, "Whats going on"? "Whats new"? "Whats happening"? "Whats the deal"?
I used to say them all in one shot, to strangers it was funny, to my kids, they stopped asking me "Whats up"?, and people who I seen often stopped asking me "whats up" and now it is "Hello" or "How are you" or "what are you doing".

Tell them: the sky, the ceiling, the clouds, God. Sometimes it's not meant to be rude but, funny.

My father in law says, "A chicken's butt when it's eating." We've learned to not ask him what's up.
