What cliche's in music production, lyrics or concepts do you enjoy/hate/become annoyed by?

For me it's kids singing the chorus of rap songs. Jay-Z started the trend in the mainstream but it has since spread. That is my musical kryptonite

It used to be "Love is pain" in the lyrics. I could punch Ja Rule in the gonads for making that popular.

For some reason, when its done in good taste, I love when little kids sing the chorus of rap songs.

Yup. Thankfully it seems like it's starting to die out. What the hell will T-Pain do now on songs without it?!?!

Every new country music song seems like it's about about bonfires, drinking, trucks, and being a redneck, being sung by a guy who probably has no experience with any of those...

I agree! I think it's stupid when you have a 22 yr. old guy singing about watching his son/daughter going to college.

I dunno. When I hear some of them sing, I swear alcohol has to be involved.

Auto tune... it was cool when it first came out, but it allowing any joe to become an "artist" without any abilities.

I still can't understand the pure hatred towards auto-tune. To me, I think it has allowed for some GREAT songs.

It's like playing the guitar for Guitar Hero, and saying that you really just thrashed a good song.

when done right it creates an unbelievably catchy song. This song has been the first song I listen to any time I have fired up my Ipod in the last week or so.
