Reminds me of the conversation my dad has when anyone asks if they really talk like that up in ND (he's from Richarton ND):
"Do they really talk like they do in the movie up there?"
"Oh ya."

Even though I try to hide it most of the time, every now and then my BAHstin accent comes out. Especially when I'm drunk, I sound like an extra from The Town.

Why would you hide that? Embrace it. Especially if you're single.

It mostly depends on who I'm with. My wife is from Long Island and sounded like Linda Richman when we met, so we like to make fun of each other's accents all the time. When I'm out with my college buddies, it's basically that Harvard bar scene from Good Will Hunting. But when I'm at work, I gotta tone it down, and most of the people I know in Rhode Island don't really sound like that, even though it's so close to Boston.
Da Rick is an old wite dat's kinda yellowin wit a black pickgahd. It's a '76 4001.

As an ambivalently-proud holder of 'generic New England accent' I'm a little jelly now.

I always say I speak three languages. French, English, and English with an unfiltered French accent. The latter is rather exquisite I think.

While I think English is the best-sounding...catchiest language for modern vocal music, there is no singular best way to use it. A nice voice with a good foreign accent singing in [English] is just icing on the cake.
The exception is metal, where Scandies & Krauts rule with angular, percussive barking
