I didn't know this was a thing until I got frustrated and searched the internet. It's such a weird phenomenon and it's everywhere these days.

This poor girl doesn't even know what she's doing, but it's a perfect example:

Were you aware of this? What singers or moments in song can you list as examples of this weird, annoying style?

I hate this style. There is a commercial, can't remember what for, but the song playing in it has a girl singing "hush, hush baby" but it sounds like "housh housh"

The real crime in that video is the people trying to clap along. Clapping along should be illegal

Sure it's fine and pretty, KT, but don't you see how she's mimicking a popular "tug-on-heart-strings", I'm a cute little baby style and that there is ZERO originality in it?

i queued up an "indie christmas" spotify playlist over the holiday and shut it off because of this i think

Yeah man I didn't even know what this was but felt something was off for a long time now and had to google it.. I think I liked this style a lot for a while but once I caught on that it was more like a widespread virus I had to shun it. It's terrible and needs to stop. It's like vocal fry and Valley Girl.

This criticism is just another way for the patriarchy to assert control

I guess this is the girlfriend (or at least longtime crush) of the Pop Punk Boy Voice

In a way, nobody's voice is truly original. But there's a point where you can clearly say, "Oh, OK, you're doing THAT voice..." yawn
