Slangoriented

Slangoriented is a term used to describe a person, group, or piece of media that heavily incorporates slang into its communication or expression. It suggests a focus on or a preference for informal language, often specific to a particular subculture, region, or time period.

The use of slang can serve various functions. It can be a way to build solidarity and identity within a group, differentiating its members from outsiders. It can also add expressiveness, humor, or nuance to communication that standard language might not easily capture. For individuals, being slangoriented might mean they readily adopt and use new slang terms as they emerge, or that their vocabulary is rich with established slang expressions.

In media, a slangoriented approach can be used to make content feel more authentic, relatable, or current to a target audience. However, overuse or inappropriate use of slang can also alienate listeners or readers who are not familiar with the terms, or it can make the content quickly sound dated as slang evolves. The term slangoriented is generally descriptive and does not carry inherent positive or negative connotations, though its perception can depend on the context and the specific slang being used.
