Stumbled upon this cover of MGMT's Kids where some plain b-word sings it:
And now I'm going to rant about modern female singers.
What is with this modern overly breathy, soft, trying to be sensual shit foids are doing nowadays? The original song was sung well and had a nice high harmony for the chorus, there was power and intent behind the words. This cover just butchers it, like the singer is trying too hard to sound sexy or appealing or sensitive or some shit. It's not just this cover either but a scourge upon modern pop and indie music music sung by foids.
What happened to the Patti Smiths, Bonnie Tylers, Grace Slicks and Whitney Houstons of the world? Women who could belt out notes so powerful it would put their male contemporaries to shame? Why does every female singer do this nowadays?
EDIT: Oh yeah and the instrumental suck butt too lmao

Yeah I really hate the whispery warble type of singing that has infected music. People are too afraid to commit to emotions now
This b-word manages to take an essential anthem of horniness and suck out literally all of the s*x and urgency

Electronic music going mainstream is partially to blame. Singers don't have to have any real talent, they can just be remixed and tuned to create a vibe.
Also, a lot of good music gets covered and redone for TV shows now, and those shows and songs are marketed to teens and early 20s. It creates this feedback loop where people don't know that anything better actually exists (even the original), and they keep looking for more of the same style for nostalgia.

I hate that breathy shit too, especially when they try to do covers of male vocal rock songs
also that dumbass disction where they don't say words right. idk how to describe it but it's what Adele does and everyone else wants to do it too
yours at words like "world" but it sounds like "wowweoyol" and not because she's British, it's just how she decided she was going to sing words

No talent. It really is a critical aspect of modern life. The entire wokescold disaster originates in academic hacks with no talent who needed to create content. And then you look at the modern Internet, and ask whether "hacks who need content" could "go viral"--terrifyingly obvious, in retrospect.
