The reason why we use so much slang and abbreviations and "ghetto phrases" is because we are all exposed to the same kind of influences from social media and our peers. We all use hashtags and say things like "your eyebrows are on fleek". I feel like as long as we only talk that way with each other it is okay. If you start speaking to everyone including adults in that way you start to sound uneducated and it is unattractive.
Memes are funny and they are constantly used as a form of entertainment. A lot of times teenagers use them to insult each other depending on what the meme says. I personally don't have a problem with memes except for when people start to over use them or spell things wrong. I can't stand when people turn a funny meme into a ghetto meme because they start misusing public language. Once you start using too much slang on a meme its not funny anymore.
Something else that bothers me is when people overuse the way that teenagers use certain things. I feel like hashtags are only okay to use on twitter and exceptionally on instagram. When hashtags have a limited usage they are no harm. Some people over use them to the point where they have three pages worth of hashtags in their captions on instagram. Thank god twitter has a word limit on tweets or else people would overuse hashtags on there too. Hashtags are supposed to be used to summarize your point or get a point across in a couple words when you start to overuse them they lose their purpose, they're annoying, and no one has time to be reading that many hashtags. People that do these type of things are usually people that try so hard to fit in when it is honestly unnecessary.
