Influenced by cyber culture, more and more newfangled words or slang derived from Cantonese are commonly used among young people. Worries are expressed over the younger generation’s Chinese language capability, and more efforts are needed to ensure the preservation of Cantonese culture.現今的年輕人受到網絡或電台影響，使用潮語作為日常溝通工具。有些學生會用它來作文，表達他們的思想。潮語在互聯網絡的推波助瀾下，趨向圖像化或符號化。不過，它只是新詞彙，在結構上並沒有改變粵語的語法規律。在潮語流行的時代，年輕人的語文素質日益下降，這反映香港忽視粵語的教學，以及缺乏對粵語文化的保育。
