chaining the same noun with の


I heard a song going 本当の本当の本当の気持ち. The question is, what does this do? Does it
strengthen the noun or is it ungrammatical? Or another example: 絶対の絶対




> _what does this do?_

Well, emotionally, it emphasizes 本当 or 絶対 as many times as it repeats, just
similar to "so so dumb" and "very very very important" in English.

And grammatically, it _is_ valid. 本当の本当の本当の気持ち can be parsed simply as `[true
[true [true feeling]]]`, except what it denotes is not really apparent. It
also reminds me of wordplays like ～なくなくなくなくない？, which has nothing
ungrammatical, but redundant because double negative just yields positive.
Incidentally, it's only an extended version of ～なくない？ in practice, regardless
of parity.
