I don't even know what my accent is. I've lived everywhere in this country and most people sound like me aside from the hicks.

Is it just an American accent?

That's not the point, if you don't have an accent then you're literally mute.

The only contenders for default accent is middle class home counties accent, east coast trans-atlantic, and middle class L.A

There is no default and it definitely wouldn't be trans-atlantic

Trans Atlantic was a forced accent for upper class and actors

People didn't naturally talk like that, dude

What exactly makes Americans think this? Is it their natural extreme arrogance to think they sound "normal" and everyone else sounds "weird"?

I'm actually curious.

Yorkshire is supposedly the oldest English accent. The RP accent is a very recent creation.

It's because we're very insular and closed in. I don't think it's arrogance but lack of awareness.

When the Founding Fathers sailed to America and founded the greatest country on this God-given Earth (The United States of America), they brought the English language with them. Sorry, rest of the world, but you're just borrowing it from us.
