I've always wondered what happened to that 50's, 60's American accent. How come nobody speaks it anymore and what part of the country did it come from?
Edit: we still have a NY accent, a midwest accent, a southern accent, a Texas accent; but this accent disappeared. Maybe it was just a fake TV accent.
The majority of people are illiterate. They know the most basic words and don’t understand anything else. MOST people can’t even use there/their/they’re correctly :|
I understand the decline of the use of language. However there is a particular tone, timbre to this time that made the accent distinct. Even if people today are using English in its proper form it does not sound like this.

Have had the exact same thoughts with the 20’s-40’s accents.
Amen. I’m a grammar kitty, too!
