Is it really unprovable? A quick search online for me reveals a lot of spilled pixels on the subject of how age is correlated with communication styles in various media. I think Gretchen McCulloch wrote about this even.
I don't see why it's bad to talk about these things. I'll admit, OP's language here was rather inflammatory. But some people say what you're saying regarding ebonics, yet AAVE has become one of the biggest fields in linguistics today. "Stereotype" doesn't necessarily mean "problematic to acknowledge."
