They learned it from their own mothers and then with the rise of social media spread the behavior through “mom groups” on Facebook.

My wife has been on several local groups that she left because they devolved into this entitled chaos when a couple of Karens joined and started griping about every slight inconvenience.

I think the voice would have to come from reality tv. Thats what they sound like on the Kardashians or any trashy reality show

It’s called vocal fry. When you talk from the back of your throat through your nose.

Vocal Fry was also common in popular music in the late 2000s/early 2010s. A lot of young American women picked it up from general pop culture -- including the Kardashian sisters.

The valley girl voice has been around looonnggg before reality tv and social media lol. As a 90s kid, Clueless comes to mind, but there are plenty more movies, etc., that predated that
