'caught streaming bad habit online' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'pique about son' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'c' (circa) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
