[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Tidewater and no one my age (30s) has an accent anymore. [/quote] Op here. Speaking of loss of accents. I’m 40. My college roommate was from Suffolk and did not have an accent either. [/quote] DP. The Tidewater accent was always a little different than what one would associate with a typical southern accent, and it’s all but died. (I’ve lived in Norfolk for 20 years.) I think there are wealthy pockets of Richmond where young people will turn it on as a signifier that their roots run deep in Virginia. Otherwise, I think it’s mostly rural areas south of Richmond or out in the southwestern part of the state.[/quote]
