Nobody thinks they have an accent - it's everybody else who sounds weird.
In China, every dialect is stigmatised in every place in which people don't speak that dialect. In Australia, speakers of the Aussie Yobbo accent would have to be the most stigmatised. America is no different; every non-New Yorker thinks that New York accents are THE most annoying in the world.
So imagine the fun when a group of non-native speakers try to imitate a "real" American accent. If these videos of non-U.S. Anglophones imitating American accents are any indication, our manner of speaking is two parts Valley Girl, one part cowboy, and one part superhero.

I don't think limiting the seeming negative comments about accents to New York buroughs, though, is accurate. There are accents from Massachusetts and other northeastern states that are more "irritating" to those of us from other parts of the country.
One thing that has always struck me as unusual concerning accents is that many Californians speak with an accent that would be indistinguishable from some in the northeastern part of the country.
