Why do young women so often speak like thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[Siri137]

Like, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Croaky-voice, also known as vocal fry. I tried doing it myself a few times, but I just can't, it doesn't work for me :(

It's very common with a lot of accents. Often just how people speak. Sometimes it is just put on, no idea what for as when it is put on its quite annoying. But a natural vocal fry, (Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders often have them) sounds pretty normal.

Not many really do, but it’s really annoying.

That's funny. And he's right. It's bloody annoying and fake.

I'm more concerned with that question mark accent thing that was made popular by Kim Kardashian that swept the world around 2007 & continues on to this day. I don't know if it's a west coast thing or what, but they sound worse than Totally Kyle from The Amanda Show.

"I'm about to do some chores. What are you about to do?"

"?I'm?

?go~ing? to the...

?bed~rooooom?

?right nowww...?

?and I, like,?

?don't want anyone tooooo...?

?like,?

?dis~turb me?"

I'm always saying in my head "Are you asking me or telling me? Sheesh!" It's like someone in a comedy skit is in trouble with their boss & they have to nervously ease into each word so that the boss won't get even more upset with them. Why do people speak like this -- even when confidently explaining something? It's friggin' weird & not in a good way! I noticed when it first started to spread from person to person decades ago & not a day has gone by that I don't feel like I'm in The Twilight Zone or something.

It’s natural, an accent, trend, or abit gen z thing. I low key have that accent since I was a teen lol. I guess gag people dislike it. I don't know if it’s just where I live, guys think it’s cute lol. Generally people like my voice and how I talk even if they’re not from my state though.
