Eh wut? We really don't want to be going down the route of received pronunciation like in the UK. So long as someone's accent is clear in diction that should be about it. Affecting any accent(rather than picking it up by osmosis, some do this more than others)is not a good reflection on a person IMH. They're denying their own personal history. Hearing a perfectly good Cork or Galwegian accent in a parent when their child is affecting that mid atlantic nasally twang is like fingers down a blackboard for me.

Much rather the D4 accent to the scumbag accent to be honest.

At least you can tell from a distance that they don't usually sell drugs / rob cars / want to stab you with a screwdriver

Do a lot of D4 people shout at you?

Some amount of begrudgery going on here its just an accent, I'd rather complain about the Wexford, Louth, Cavan, Athlone accent.
More people live in SoCoDu than in many of these places why shouldn't 't they have an accent that developed from years of elecution lessons

nothing wrong at all with the D4 accent, opens alot more job opportunities for people and is one of the easier accents to understand. Also its not tied to one place to anyone can pick it up and better themselves with out feeling they sound out of character.

People need to grow up

And what exactly is wrong with a Cork accent or a working class accent or a northern accent? Basically you're admitting yourself the D4 "accent" is more of a social construct as opposed to a genuine manner of speaking. The notion that people have fabricated an accent in order to sound superior and differentiate from those who aren't full of exclusionary social-climbing b*llocks is laughable to be honest.

And you're telling people to grow up? Personally I think any eejit who lies about who they are because of misguided shame needs to grow up.

Posters trying make a simple point like "hey why does that kid speak differently to their parents" or "why did the Dart bring an American accent that wasn't here 2 generations ago?" and suddenly you're a "bregrudger".

Sorry but when someone starts speaking in this surreal voice that seems to have come from nowhere, are we the ones with the issue?!

It's not that it effects those of us who notice it... it's just... odd.

edit:

elocution lessons? maybe i missed the sarcasm, you must be taking the piss there. obviously no elocution teacher would be teaching a dart accent.

It's more then just an accent though, it's more like a banal, reductive dialect. It's 'like' you removed every adjective from the english language and replaced it with the word 'like'.
It's as if we took a language with the soul of a poet and replaced it with a language with the soul of Rachel from Friends, god know's we'll, like, sooo never, see the 'likes' of WB Yeats emerge from Dublin 4 ever again.

I agree. Basically anywhere outside Dublin. Poison

I prefer the "howya" accent, it's much richer.

Suprisingly the majority of people I meet with D4 accents don't even come from Dublin.

Nope it's a Dublin thing, not a 'culchie' one.

One of my friends slagged me not too long ago for my 'posh D4 accent'. I go to college in Dublin, I live there most of the week and most of my classmates are from South Dublin. It's not surprising that I might start speaking in a D4 accent. Why anyone cares, I don't know.

If I went to college in Cork, I'd have a Cork accent. My accent is just bendy, it changes without me trying. I hate the assumption that someone who lives in Dublin and speaks like a South Dublin resident has changed their accent on purpose, to try make themselves sound 'better'.

LOL.
Face it, you're putting on the accent and now you're just trying to justify it.
Call me cynical but If you went to college in Cavan I doubt you'd come home with that accent somehow.

D4 accent
