Like they're from the "Upper State" of New York.
New York state has many many different accents. There is no one "New York accent". I have family from Poughkeepsie New York and they say things like "Tawk" instead of "talk"...."cawfee"/coffee...."Dawg"/dog........but again it all depends on what part of New York you're from. Don't be fooled by the stereotypical "How you doin" New Yorker stuff.
Sounds like you don't have one It's like telling someone who traveled to Chicago who is in New York with a New York accent telling them "You have a New York accent. Cool" They will be like "What? New York accent?" Then they will say "Well, you have a Chicago accent." Thats me! 👍🏼(me) I will say "What? Chicago accent? Accents? I don't have an accent at all" The people in New York will say "Me neither!"

Who are you to judge whether this person is a loser or not. Just because they try to talk with a New York accent doesn't mean they are a loser, but they just want to fit in. Sometimes when you visit a certain city where the accent is stronger it is quite easy to pick up that accent or the slang that goes with it. Often people from the U.S. or Canada may visit Australia and come home with a bit of an Aussie accent and a few of their sayings and they certainly aren't losers. Accept your friend for who they are and not where they come from.
