The new gen just has the ability to disseminate slang faster with all the online tools. Back in my day, words only entered slang status when a celebrity used it in the media.
Honestly, that's a pretty decent explanation.
It's kind of insane the turn around of slang. Can't tell if it's because I'm older that it appears that way.
