I don’t mean singing in a foreign language, I mean if they aren’t enunciating their words.

There is a style of singing where the singer rolls one word into the next word, or just cuts a word off. I find it distracting and I tend to skip the song very quickly when I realize what they are doing.

While it is a popular way to sing, I have never enjoyed it. I heard some of it in the 1980s but it wasn’t widely used. Today I find a lot more singers doing it.

    Actually most of the music I listened to in the 90s were easy to understand. There were a few bands that were hard to invested but nothing like now.

      maybe it’s just me or some people like me, but i learned a TON of shit i got wrong once it became easy to look up lyrics online. you wouldn’t even believe what 14-year-old me thought the lyrics for beck’s ‘loser’ were when i could only hear the song on fm radio…
