Are regional accents dying out in the US?

Great idea for a thread

No they are not

Yeah regional accents are very alive

Regional slang is what's dying out because of the internet

Heard that accent all over Vegas.

No.
Accents are very apparent still. People from New England still don't have a "r" in their alphabet.

I still think people have a misconception of what a New York accent is supposed to sound like (whether it's the white version or black version).

Every clown is coyping someone they see on the internet. Talked to ATl cats that sounded like Cali dudes

Same thing with New York. Black and white New Yorkers don't sound anything alike. I hear the same is true of Baltimore.

I would post a Vocaroo but I'm not tryna get clowned right now

I've notice from a lot of these vids and rappers. That young kids from mainly Flatbush. Seem to have a very distinct tone, it's almost as if, straight up English was not the first language they learned.

Re: Tekashi69's accent ; don't Puerto Ricans talk like that throughout the country? Especially Philly and New England

It's still weird to me that he doesn't claim PR, though. I wonder if he goes hard for Mexico for marketing reasons

We say our ERs proper for the most part. I think our (Syracuse) accents are pretty neutral.

edit: I know no accent is "neutral" but I just don't think it sounds like anywhere else
