in its current form valleyspeak may not be as exaggerrated as the video above, but it never really went away either. I reckon in every english-speaking city in the world you will find people that talk with this dialect. its still strange to me to hear valleyspeak so prevalent in new york, especially when native accents like brooklynese is dying out. how the hell did it spread so fast? is it hollywood's fault?

She sounds like Hilary from Fresh Prince to me... And that was on in the 90s so I wouldn't say it's a brand new trend...

To be honest I've never heard anyone actually talk like that in real life before.

Living in SoCal at the time valley girls first came into being, I heard in enough back then. I was always thinking that they are the stupidest things around then. I believe that they are the reason for blonde jokes becoming prevelent. :shock:

Pretty much, just without all the "like," and how everything they say sounds like a question.

I like how they started laughing in the middle of it:lol:.

Because TV and movies are made in the place that the accent orginates.

Eh, maybe. I think it's mainly the fact that it's so freaking girly, that's what gets me.

Because TV shows and movies are made where that accent originates.
