I hate them all except for RP. Does that make me elitist?

You don’t even like hearing Elton John’s voice in his songs, or the Beatles?

I just can’t stand how they all say “posh” and act like they are so cool or witty.

Elton’s singing voice is tolerable. The Beatles, somewhat less so.

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole once of Mancunian accents, they’re honestly pretty interesting to listen to.

Is it my imagination, or have British accents massively shifted towards "American Neutral" over the past 20-40 years... still recognizably "British", but nowhere NEAR as strongly as they were even in the 1980s?
For example, compare Monty Python circa 1970, mid-80s Spitting Image, and... pretty much any TV show made in Britain after ~2010 (or Daniel Radcliffe, Dan Stevens,etc). Compare Margaret Thatcher to Boris Johnson. You get the idea.
