Or how much?
my daughter(no pics,) was raised in south FL, went to college in Chicago, no accent of any kind, has lived in TX since she graduated and sort of slips in to a Texas drawl for some of her words sometimes, it's kind of funny to hear

Do Cajun accents sound like country accents to Yankees?

If you listen to southern media and country music you will still have an accent. I don’t really watch movies or tv or anything. I live in a city where the vast majority of people do not have a southern accent. I still have it because I only listen to country music and it is a lot worse when I get drunk

The Texas drawl is powerful honestly. I lost it when I was in my teens but I think it has crept back somehow

Accent is nearly dead among the younger generation in the suburbs.
Bingo. Quite a few books and a good amount of research has gone into studying the loss/decline of regional or geographical dialects and accents. It pretty much comes down to the fact that we've shrunk the world via technology, exposing people to other dialects/accents from a very early age. In the past the average person could live their entire life within the same few hollers, and never be exposed to any outsiders. Now, all it takes is a cell phone or a TV remote.

California was a Union state, therefore, he’s a Yankee.

Last place I remember seeing a rebel flag on a vehicle was Pismo beach.

a friend of mine(born in upstate NY,) pitched for LSU and was drafted by the pros, was sent to Visalia initially, and I've got relatives in that area, he said you guys just think you have the redneck market cornered in the south, Visalia has all of you beat to hell when it comes to rednecks

I grew up in Livingston Parish, moved to Houston and was able to shake it, but anytime I go back to visit I pick it back up for awhile. It’s a virus.
I’m very proud of my Southern accent and can’t understand why anyone would want to lose theirs. A southern accent is far more pleasant to the ears than any of the various yankee accents. And, as experience has shown me over my travels around the country and globe, females love the Southern accent, especially when coupled with Southern manners.
I do think though with each passing generation the old Southern accent is slowly dying off. Thankfully I was raised by my grandmother and surrounded by great-aunts and uncles who grew up in the early 20th century and still had that old Southern accent. So they were the ones who passed it to me.

Go live in Birmingham for two years. You'll sound like you just left the cotton patch.

I lost most of my accent when I went to college. That being said I get back home with old friends and drinking bourbon and it comes back some.

Any accent you hear and speak daily during your formative years is powerful. I lost my NOLA accent in my early 20’s and it still pops out in a word or sentence every now and then, especially if I’m tired or have been drinking.

I grew up in south louisiana and moved to north louisiana about 5 years ago. I still have my accent(I think) but the north louisiana slips out on a word here and there. When I go back home to visit family, I notice that my accent thickens back up.
In my mind, I still have an accent but notice when I’m back home that I lost it a little

Join the military. My BIL is from Massachusetts. After about six months he was talking like a baw.
