[quote:Anonymous Coward 83728273:MV81MTY3MzgwXzk0OTM0NDA5XzRCMEVENzM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 83737306:MV81MTY3MzgwXzk0OTM0MzA2X0RFRkVEQzIy] Oliva Rodrigo has the most pure valley girl accent I think I have heard. She grew up in Southern California, so it's almost mandatory for someone like her. I am not kidding. I grew up in Southern California, and even my mother in her 70s does the valley girl thing frequently.

I mean these people have weird things to say and expressions but I am not hearing a distinct accent they have in common. [/quote]
Original Message
Was it just the influence of Hollywood with the valley girl accent originating right next to Hollywood?
I am asking because I am watching the video embedded below. The three guys in this video all have distinct, classic valley girl accents. It cheapens the seriousness of the topic. Why did the valley girl accent become dominant in English?
