I liken this to the autotune songs. I cannot stand autotune. But since about 2005 or so, I can not think of a single song on the radio that doesn't use it.

And for the past two or three years, it seems like autotune isn't even used to emulate a human voice anymore. It's not like Cher augumenting some parts of her singing, rather, the whole song (all of them, almost, at least the garbage that I hear in my children's friends' circles) just sounds completely faked. But these kids grow up on it, and for them real human voices singing sounds unusual.

Do you mean that literally, speaking about FM or maybe even DAB, and if so: may I ask what region you're from that you have no access to radio stations featuring something else than only such songs?

I don't listen to the radio at all, but whenever it is on I can hear the autotune - almost without exception whether the music is in English or Hebrew. I do think that most Arabic songs don't use autotune, though. I'm in Israel.
