Slang travelled through print magazines, underground zines, radio, musicians, books, etc.

True. Radio is word of mouth, and the other forms of media are even slower. When one can sit down and doomscroll tik tok for an hour and be exposed to orders of magnitude more information, things are going to change more quickly.

Radio was huge. Some rapper could make slang local to his street corner famous and it would be in car commercials within two years.
