I see it all the time.

All the teens, now, where I am, speak like they're always asking you a question.

Like this?

Do you know what I mean?

Do you know what I'm saying, when I speak this?

LOL?


I find "NT" speaking style these days sounds very sarcastic... They tend to be the hipster types... Annoying people...

Hipsters are the worst. It's bad enough that most people in society use sarcasm all the time, but nothing about hipsters is genuine, only ironic. I don't get the feeling that they have any genuine emotions whatsoever.

Yes, they do lol.

There's also this forced awkwardness of speech.

I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but it's like the make themselves speak awkwardly on purpose.

LOL it makes life very difficult.

I don't do that. I stay within my own speech patterns no matter who I'm talking to or what group I'm with.
