Yep - there are people who seem to enjoy being offended and others who enjoy being pointlessly provocative. Both annoying.
Off topic from the above, but does anyone else get a little kick when they hear songs on their own regional accent. Always makes me smile a bit.
Yeah, I just don't understand it. Then the fact that I don't understand it often comes off as me trying to be a troll to other people when I'm not, if I'm telling them that I don't understand it. I just feel like shit, man.
Re accents: I can't say I've had that experience but I think I know what you mean, that is if I'm understanding you correctly. Was sort of a completely different situation where I became accustomed to an accent of a band I was listening to for a long time and then heard other music delivered in the exact same way and not in the typical sense where singers "lose their accents". Nothing from here, because...well, American accents are terrible in my opinion. They're just not interesting whatsoever to me. An educated southern twang from a Hicks-esque individual is quite pleasant, but that's it for me.
I'm unfortunately from a place where our accent is as dull as a butter knife. Glad it isn't going to reflect in any music I'll make in the future thanks to my influences because in practicing my singing voice, I'm starting to sound a great deal similar to JG Thirlwell, which I hope I can retain. Not that the dude sounds Australian very much but he's got sort of a mixed twang to him which I can only assume came from his upbringing and having the first Industrial artists in Britain as a huge influence.
