Fake Texas drawls.

Unless you live in a rural area or grew up in a rural area, most of us do not have it to any great degree. But the number of Suburban F250 Cowboys who like to talk that way are ridiculous. They are incredible annoying too. Just be yourself. In all your tract home wrangler wearing lifted F250 glory, just be yourself.

You guys have a bit going on though, but it's very muted compared to hillbilly southern. Usually I can peg a Texan given enough time hearing them speak.

It's a real accent. I don't deny that. My point is that it isn't heavy unless you grew up in the country.

I can believe that. I'd say you have a wide varying degree of accent based on what part of Texas you're from(and I say that among generational Texans, not transplants).
At least that's my experience with my Texas friends.

Most any big city accent, especially in the northeast.

Basically, anyone who can't articulate. I know that isn't necessarily a regional thing.

Well…..an accent is an indicator of being raised, in the formative years, in a specific geographic location. Along with an accent comes socio-cultural mores and values. In the area that you're talking about , NYC and the Burroughs to include Suffolk county, sociologists refer to those peoples as "fucking assholes" .

Honest question, asking as a born and raised NYer living in Michigan - what is the Michigan accent?  I really don't hear it.

I have a very specific hate of one - female NYer/northern NJer/Lier like Fran Drescher or Marisa in My Cousin Vinnie.

What's wrong with our accent? I think it's pissah. And there's nothing like some foul mourned Boston broad cussing you out to really get ya going.

Kidding, I fucking hate the accent too and I want to punch anyone who accentuates it purposely in the mouth.

But to choose one not from my own area I would have to say Michigan.

It's kind of like a Wisconsin/Canadian mixture. Not as nasally as Wisconsin but (and I will be honest that my experience is limited to only a few people) to me they sound like Canadians on coke just gabbing away and only every 6th word is intelligible. Not to say they aren't nice people, but I could have gotten away with just text or messenger pigeon to communicate.

Northeast accents in general sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.  I hear a lot of them at work from calls with our northeastern counterparts.

I've worked on my Received Pronunciation British accent as a counter to it.

I've had many people tell me I have the thickest southern accent they've ever heard. Sadly, it's not the cool sounding southern accent, it's straight up country hick. I know there's an area through the Orangeburg/St. Matthews range where people sound about like cajuns to me.

People from the "midwest" (NOT Chicago) are considered by linguists to have the least accent of all American English speakers.   Think of someone from Des Moines, for example.

That sounds kinda ignorant.   If you don't notice a difference in the accent of a person from N. Dakota versus one from Massachusetts, you ears need some wax removed.
