Have you never known someone who came back from a brief trip with a fake 'accent'? (Or even without the trip) I can't imagine being so disconnected from how humans work as to not understand what's up here. People enjoy the attention of other people- it's part of the drive to gain social position. Sometimes they develop pathological behaviour related to this drive. Particularly when self-awareness is low like in most teenagers and some non-neurotypical people.
