I'm majoring in linguistics too, and it really isn't all that interesting or profound. Their "slang" is limited to a bunch of extremely fucking stupid memes (many of which stolen from other sites) and a ton of fandom jargon. It isn't simply what happens when you get people together and let their language evolve; it's what happens when you put a ton of people together that all try way, way too hard to be cool and edgy and let the shit build up in how they talk.

Note how the examples they gave in the description don't come from Tumblr at all.
