Honestly dudes from Chicago dont really have an accent

[hoodheronova]

only way to really tell if a cat is from Chicago is if they use certain words. In terms of accent they don't really got one, meaning it aint really noticeable

they fall under the "country" banner

There is a Chicago accent I'm not even from there and I can tell slot of the times when someone is from there.

definitely not. You can tell cause a lot of dudes from Chicago can switch up and talk proper like its nothing. People from down south and new York cant really do that

Chicago dudes sound more country than some Memphis nikkas. Like listen to Chief Keef, that's what I think of as a Chicago accent

I'm saying though for a big and influential city, Chicago don't really got its own accent

 

[plushcarpet]

it's called the mid-western accent

fun fact: that's the accent used in all media, movies and TV because it's the best sounding accent

yea but if it wasn't for the words Keef used, you wouldn't be able to tell he's from Chicago. Its weird that Chicago doesnt really have its own style

i agree with this. Its real easy for Chicago dudes to sound regular. Easy example is Derrick Rose

Everyone has a accent.

Typical southside accent (Mouse)

Everyone has an accent The midwestern accent isn't "no-accent" it's just the most neutral sounding one and this is the one used for boilerplate media (the news, entertainment news, etc), and mid-westerners have tested as being the most averse to hearing anything that doesn't sound like them. The west coast accent strikes people as being too liberal, the New England and Northeast Accents are associated with elitism (upper class) or aggressive (lower class), and the southern accent as unprofessional (upper class) or dumb (lower class).

The mid-west being so big and not associated with any particular lifestyle stereotypes and the really flat vowel sounds make it sort of "basic" english

It's the most boring accent imo
