Fleek and Bae are examples of teen speech, if these words were used in a transcript it would be very clear that the speaker is a teen.
In the media, words such as lazy, rude, moody and disrespectful are used to describe teens, this results in a bad representation of teenagers and it tends to lead to the older generation being annoyed and aggravated by teenagers. Moral panic is then put in place where the media creates an amplification spiral which makes the situation worse. Due to this, there is a distrust between generations creating a generation gap.
