(C)rap. Any music that talks about shooting or bitches or shooting bitches and rolling in wads of cash afterwards needs to pop the cogs in my opinion.

You do realise that if you posed that question to people who enjoy the majority of todays music then they would probably say metal and rock, right? I think you should stop acting so high and mighty and realise that people like different things to you.

Also, listen to this, might change your biased views on Techno.

how about 'autotuned monstrosity'
Think twice before you wish someone wasn't Auto-tuned...
not really the point, if they can't sing they should not be in the studio trying to be 'famous singers'.
Meh. Sid Vicious was a famous bass player and he couldn't play a note. I think anyone should have a crack at it if they want to, why the hell not. If people don't like it, they won't buy it.

yeah but then he's not really playing is he?
so actually the editer/producer is more of a famous bass player.

it's like trying to be a famous painter but you can't paint so you take a picture of your painting and give it to someone so he can fotoshop it for you.

i especially hate the kind of autotune somebody posted earlier, because that's just really annoying.

look i've worked in a studio and seen all this autotune nonsense in action.

See, there's a difference. Sid Vicious didn't need any artificial help or editing to sound passable, even though he couldn't play a note, as you said. He just picked up a bass and did good. If someone needs to have their voice filtered in order to sound passable they shouldn't try singing.

Auto-Fucking-Tune songs need to die. its fine i guess to have 1 or 2 lines but when half the song is auto tuned then its just lame. unless your that guy that auto tune is his thing. he is allowed to use auto tune but anyone else is not allowed to have more that 1 line in 5 as auto tune.

its meant to be an effect in a song not auto tuned song.

I work in a studio too and we use Auto-tune all the time. Believe it or not, we've never used it once to hide a bum note - because every time you use Auto-tune people immediately suspect bum notes. We got Auto-tune in our studio because clients kept requesting it, because they like that sound. Auto-tune these days is generally used as a sonic effect, not a note-fixer. It's a popular sound right now, simple as that, just like gated drums in the 1980s and echoey vocals in the 1950s. There are far more subtle, far more effective ways to fix bum notes, that aren't as audible in the final product. If I wanted to fix a bad singer's pitching, the last thing I would use is Autotune.

Hahaha, Sid never picked up a bass and did good.

Oh well. I guess you'll just have to be annoyed for a while, until people move onto some other kind of vocal effect. Personally I find the synthetic chorus on a lot of early 1980s pop to be more annoying, but hey whatevs.

Also, listen to this, might change your biased views on Techno.

This is not techno, it is trip hop.

Here is some more good music. I have seen and heard too much bad for one day.

The OP just mentioned Techno in the poll so I assumed that he would lump trip-hop and electronica under the name Techno. Bad of me, I know. Also, I really don't care about the whole arguments about what genre's are what in Electronic music. I just like the music.

I definitely agree about that. There are too many people at my school that listen to it to be a part of the "scene" or to try and look more "gangsta" for them it is about image for me it is about the music. Trip hop is some of my favorite stuff.
