in the united states, there is a general negative stigma surrounding the southern dialect. non-southern americans tend to associate a southern accent with cognitive and verbal slowness, lack of education, ignorance, bigotry, or religious and political conservatism, using common labels like "hick", "hillbilly", or "redneck" accent. the accent is also associated nationwide with the military, nascar, and country music; in fact, even non-southern american country singers typically imitate a southern accent in their music. meanwhile, southerners themselves tend to have mixed judgments of their own accent, some similarly negative but others positively associating it with a laid-back, plain, or humble attitude. the sum negative associations nationwide, however, are the main presumable cause of a gradual decline of southern accent features, since the middle of the twentieth century onwards, among younger and more urban residents of the south.
