Some for me are when they do an uplifting key change at the end (a phenomenon which has existed for decades,) when they use too much tape wear effect to make it purposefully warbly for no good reason, when they lower the pitch of a singer’s voice by an octave, and when the song just ends with no finality like the tape was cut (unless it’s part of a progressive rock album.)

    It drives me crazy when singers mispronounce simple words to “stand out”.

    “I want you to be happier” becomes “I want you tewe be hoppiahhhh”
