Each generation contributes to language change in its own way. Younger people often create new slang or adapt existing words to fit contemporary contexts. This can influence how language evolves as older generations adopt or react to these changes. For example, phrases like “on fleek” or “lit” have become popular among younger speakers and have sometimes made their way into mainstream media and older generations’ speech.
