Is language like fashion, or the weather?

This article questions whether the way we speak are changes as does the way we dress or do our hair. Its suggests that as fashion goes in and out of style, so does language and it will continue to change along with the ever-changing style and community. it is suggested that intonation and pronunciation can spread just like a pair of jeans can and people are likely to follow the trend. it mentions words such as 'wicked', 'sick' and 'super' which all have a similar meaning but have all been used at different stages and have evolved from each other.
