It goes beyond just faking an accent though, it's the wholesale, self-conscious adoption of an exaggerated "geezer" persona. It's pretty patronising when you think about it.


See the Clash in Rude Boy for a good example of this..but being the Clash with I should imagine very little experience of genuinely down to earth people they slightly misinterpret it and end up thinking you have to sound thick as well...
