Over 90% of pop songs today use pitch correction. That's not a creative choice—it's a crutch. Think of it like industrial farming: we've replaced natural, organic voices with a chemically perfect, sterile sound. Real vocal imperfections—the cracks, the breath, the raw emotion—get erased like we're editing nature out of music. It’s not about skill; it’s about a manufactured product. And just like factory farming destroys biodiversity, autotune kills the diversity of human expression. You lose the grit that made early R&B and rock feel alive. I’m not saying no autotune ever, but when it’s the default, you’re trading authenticity for a plastic, soulless sound. We’re losing the human element, and that’s a cultural loss we shouldn’t accept.
