15 to 20 years ago, when the Internet wasn't that pervasive, the slang terms used by teenagers were more or less passed down from their seniors in school.

Today, the Internet allows teenagers to consume media from everywhere. In turn, the culture and language of the online world has influenced the slang they use. They've added new words into their vocabulary that didn't exist before and these words replace others that were once in vogue.
