But I feel that also they really stepped on the accent hard on the first record, as a way to distinguish themselves. While having no proof of this.

I've been singing in my real accent for 30 years, and nobody* has ever paid me any attention at all

IT'S STILL NO GUR CAKE

Gotta be tough for a lot of bands, doing everything they can to make it happen, and then a bunch of young fellas have it happen for them
Probably true all over the world, in every scene

So many things have to go right.

I think the kid is a good lyricist and has swagger.
But so much about it is also timing and what's in vogue and what people are tired of and hungry for.

You know Chatten's actual accent is more like D4 West Brit style right?

Unpopular opinion:
I've always found Irish peoples interpretation of other Irish peoples accent to be highly subjective.
I believe it's a post colonial thing, but I don't know.

I dunno. I have heard him interviewed and he sounds like lads I knew grewing up from the other side of the river, but somewhere between D6 and D12, like a mix of Crumlin and Ranelagh, but not Blackrock?
But also lads up in Willow Park who told you they were from Ballymun.

The giveaway for me on the Dart/D4 accent is people who say "uv" instead of "of"
He doesn't have that.

I grew up in Ballybough and Coolock, my accent was always gonna be what it was. Til I traveled.
This lad was born in the UK and grew up in SKerries. You're almost in search of an identity in that situation.

I mix my vocals so low that no one knows what accent I have

Unpopular, or irrelevant?

I think it's relevant.
