TikTok slang drives rapid linguistic evolution among younger generations
Digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram are driving a rapid evolution of language, characterized by the continuous creation and manipulation of new terms. Expressions such as ‘farmear aura’, ‘rizz’, ‘mid’, and ‘cooked’ have become part of the daily vocabulary for Centennials and Generation Alpha.
While many of these terms are short-lived, some establish themselves as generational identifiers. The Real Academia Española notes that language is a living entity, where the usage by speakers determines whether a word enters the official lexicon, though it is considered unlikely that most of these specific digital slang terms will be formally admitted to the dictionary.
