Reducing a valid sociolect to some kind of hood mumbo jumbo

Just watched the short 25min documentary "Hong Kong: As Democracy Dies" by Antoine Védeilhé (France, 2024) https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/120606-000-A/arte-reportage/ so sadly quite timely.

Both are probably wrong so would be nice to have data instead. Here in Belgium checking out from postal workers deliveries or on recycling garbage day I can see a lot of Amazon parcels unfortunately. Your observation is not wrong, neither is mine, so the question rather is how relevant they are when scaled to all of Europe.
