I'm curious and chose that age group because that is around the time frame where kids began to have a lot of influence in what they read and hear from the internet. Television might have had a similar poll back around 1970, but when I grew up lots of parents thought it would ruin your eyes or some such and I tend to think that television viewing was more limited as result than internet access is today.
My kids are from Texas, but both of them (both!) were identified as being from southern California. Granted, I spent 3 years in San Diego from 19-21 and may have been influenced enough to reflect it in my speech, but had the far more identifiably southern phrases stand out in the quiz.
So I'm looking to see if there is a large difference between the age groups.
The quiz in case you missed that thread.

I'm over 20 and it was dead on. It listed Modesto/Fremont/San Jose, California and I spent most of my life in Fresno.

Over 20 and it said Nashville when I'm from central N.C., pretty good I guess

Over 20 and it got the exact city right for me...got that "Fargo" accent though, so it's pretty easy to detect where I'm from in a quiz like this.
