  Mockney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In British English, the term mockney (a Portmanteau of "mock" and "cockney") has come to be used, predominantly in the media, to describe those who present themselves as cockneys (or, by extension, other working-class groups) with the intention of gaining popular credibility.
A stereotypical mockney comes from a middle or upper-middle class background in England's Home Counties.
The use of mockney is an interesting phenomenon in that it appears that modern day celebrities are doing the exact opposite of what has been traditionally the case, that is, playing down their status in the social hierarchy to gain popularity.

He's not helped one bit by the fact that his voice is barely distinguishable from Albarn's, and this is in evidence on album opener 'Spectacular', a drivingly catchy punk-pop anthem with big, silly guitars and a "Britpop" aesthetic.
