It’s probably dying out as areas like Brooklyn and the Bronx where that was prevalent continue to become gentrified. Part of it was regional dialect passed generation to generation. It was really more of an NYC thing than an NY thing.
Today you’ll hear more Asian accents in Brooklyn than ppl calling birds “boids”.
The Bugs bunny accent was supposed to be a Brooklyn accent, I remember. But isn't Newark where people have the real nasel accents? I do understand how the varied accents are probably now all melded together and no longer strictly regional with people having moved here, there, and everywhere all over the place.
Newark is the hood, mainly black gangsta types that you’d need subtitles or a code book to understand what they’re saying. It’s the carjack capital of the world. People that work in Newark live somewhere else so there is no real single neighborhood dialect. However the Iron Bound section is mostly Portuguese ppl, so they have their own dialects I’m sure. Nice area and great food.
A question for you New Yorkers
