Yeah. Uptalk is not some modern day tech lefty thing. Heck it isn't even a 1994 thing. Uptalk began in the US in parts of SoCal in the 70s and became popularized through the girls, the Valley Girls, San Fernando Valley Girls not Silicon Valley Girls haha, from better off parts of Encino and from Sherman Oaks in particular. It spread across the U.S. during the Reagan years. 1983 movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhH9ewIEbnU&t=1s or this music video from 1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb21lsCQ3EM&t=3s
I think it is a complete need to be validated by someone else. People that just make strong statements with a grand period at the end are way more powerful in my estimation. Isnt it the Austrailians that have uptalk to a perfection?
Where did Joe get the idea that this is a "left" or especially "tech" thing? People who speak that way are almost never tech types. Most don't seem that political either. They usually just seem like ditzy, self-absorbed trendy people.

5 years later… came for the up-speak observations, stayed for ball-sack-on-phone conversation! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
Even worse is the trend I've notice in young foreign girls who are learning English have picked up on that cringy talking style.
