I have a New England accent it's a bit like a Boston accent but also different. It sounds like a mix of a Boston and New York accent. (I'm from the eastern side of Massachusetts)
The accent I have is definitely starting to die out, almost nobody at the school where I go has it, they just talk in a General American accent, I only have one friend that has the accent I have and she says she tries not to talk with it. It's mostly just adults and older people who have it and I notice my mom and my aunt and even my dad sometimes trying to not talk with it and pronounce their r's, which would have never happened in 2010, but it is now.
Also, I'm not sure but I think there was a time where I just spoke with a general American accent, but then stopped because I thought my actual accent sounded better, there's still some general American in my accent but I try NOT to do that because I think it sounds boring and basic. Whenever I here someone talk with a general American accent it annoys me and it makes everyone sound so basic. If I was visiting here from another part of the country I wouldn't want to hear a bunch of boring basicness, I wanna hear an accent. Or if I visited the south, I wanna hear a southern accent.
