I’ve just posted this in the rant and rave thread:
The terrible modern “Mancunian” accent that young lads and girls are coming out with. It’s like a cross between a small amount of some proper Mancunian elements with a majority Cockney-grime-rap-music type of accent. I fucking despise it!
“Yer gget mmeee” “innit dough” “yyyeah” “lllike” - loads of overemphasis on the first consanent of words (when a proper Mancunian accent emphasises the vowels!).
And what used to be a “eh” for proper Mancs for words ending in “y” is a “eee” with them now. Just because Stormzy sounds like that every other 13-21 year old Mancunian thinks that’s how all young people should speak, not realising Stormzy is a fucking Londoner.
“Bro” this, “bruv” that, “fam”... “innit” and “is it” in the wrong places...
I can’t fucking stand it!
This is a soft version of what I’m on about:
These two lads are Mancunians, believe it or not?! Yet the white lad has tried so hard to be a Cockney grime star that he’s got that accent I’m on about (the black lad doesn’t do it) and says all the following words in a Cockney grime accent:
“Anti-naytuw”
“In da Ci’eee”
“Heee could sleeep”
“Drumming on da taybuws”
“Bllllllleeeeeve mmeee”
“Udderwaiiiise”
And some lads sound a hell of a lot worse than this.
No pride in maintaining proper Mancunian culture. The sad fuckers!
