"Because modern youth culture is global rather than local, regional characteristics such as accent features or intonations have disappeared. The Internet has homogenized youth culture." That is a very broad statement, and I dont think it aligns well with wikipedias encyclopedic tone. Do Yall think we should remove it? Caydence2024 (talk) 18:26, 4 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
