What's that literary device where you weave a character's thoughts into third-person narration instead of explicitly delineating them? I should know this since I'm a writer and I use it all the time but I just can't remember the name for it.

Example:
Robert stuffed the bike horn in his pocket. "They'll have to let me into clown college now," he thought.
vs
Robert stuffed the bike horn in his pocket. They would have to let him into clown college now.

In the UK we traditionally called this free indirect discourse, but I also saw/used 'internally focalised narration' as the slightly hipper French theorist option.

It was this, thank you

Is there a word for the phenomenon where people adopt accents when they sing and they tend to be associated with certain genres? Like the grunge accent, the Indie girl accent, or the Post Malone accent
