Lol. You're aware that the midwest accent is the one considered to be Accent-neutral, right?
"In American English, there IS a neutral accent called General American. Wikipedia states that
"General American is perceived by most Americans to be 'accent-less', meaning a person who speaks in such a manner does not appear to be from anywhere."
While General American is not restricted to any one region in the United States, it is most commonly spoken in the Midland region. As such, the terms Midland accent and General American are often used synonymously. The Midland region covers parts of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio."
and yes, I spent a better part of 3 years in different places on the east coast.
