Distressing trends in modern pop music
ev4n:
I was watching a twitch stream and got to hear a bunch of pop songs I hadn't heard before. Recognized one or two by name, one or two others were commented on.
Look, I'll be the first to say that I have terrible taste in music, and I don't really have a musical ear besides. That said, every song I heard sounded like the vocals were being stylized by a synthesizer. Is autotune really THAT bad? Because as catchy as some of the toons were, I thought they sounded pretty terrible.
NB: I am also lol-old and a curmudgeon.

Not sure that would be appropriate where I am. I doubt our company has unlimited bandwidth.
Detachable Felix:
It seems to me that taking the piss out of Mumford and Sons is our national pasttime (Exhibit A and Exhibit B). I do not begrudge this in the slightest :-P
The distressing trend in pop music in Australia is that it's begun sneaking its way into our alternative stations - Our last Triple J Hottest 100 (supposedly the benchmark for what's good music and what isn't) had so many friggin' Top 40 hits I thought I'd got the wrong station. And all the alternative artists seem to be doing is getting more and more electronic and autotuned.
Gahhhhhhhhhh.

Lupercal:
But Australia has AC/DC, Baby Animals and Wolfmother!
Your national identity, summed up in three era-defining bands.
I don't know what it is about Mumford & Sons, I'm just not a folk guy, although I do like the banjo in a novelty kind of way (the same way I like electronic drums, synths, and slap bass).
Thrillho:
Mumford and Sons have made an entire career on shit that all sounds exactly the same.
